This is project is for kids of all ages. It is a novelty that seems to attract attention from everyone. There is no specific use for this set of whistles. However when asked, where did you get it?
, you can answer with pride, I made it
.
There are two main sections to this project. One is the set of four whistles and the other is the bellows.
Everything is made from common materials. The bellows cloth is naugahyde found at most fabric stores. Naugahyde is a fabric covered with a coat of very flexible plastic material to give it a look of leather.
The primary wood is two pieces ~9 x 12
, ¾" thick. The wood has to be clear (no knots or voids).You may be able to use plywood here but the fabric is glued
