How to make a cedar wood low D Irish whistle with Nick Metcalf

Nick Metcalf shows a large portion of his process of making a Cedar wooden low D Irish whistle and the tools he uses to make his amazing instruments. What isn’t in the video is cutting the tree down and carrying it nearly a mile up a steep hill, cutting it to size, letting it dry in the workshop for 2 years, turning it round, boring it into a tube. Also the parts where I tune it precisely are left out as I used my phone for that and couldn’t record it. But everything else is in the video. Don’t think any other maker will show you this much of the process! Also not shown is the custom lathe tool tips that I make, the 25 years of experience making whistles, and my collection of very specific tools for the purpose of making whistles. But I hope the video is interesting and helpful so you can see what goes into making a low whistle out of wood. Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments.
