Post: RE: Making ocarinas out of wood
Steve, in five minutes after taking the tuned ocarinas into the house, I knew they had no talent. They love music. Just can't play it. We are native French speakers here, and when I asked my 7 y.o. wh...

With two kids in the homestead to start with, quiet is something we have not known for quite some time. :-) And now that my son has to play the flute in his music classes at school, and sometimes prac...

Post: Making ocarinas out of wood
I have recently embarked on yet another crazy venture in the realm of woodworking: making an ocarina out of wood. I must admit that figuring out the mechanics of the thinghas taken me a few hours of f...

More work done. I went with sapele mahogany for the dark set. Pawns, rooks, bishops and knights done. I am now left with both kings and queens to do.

MstrCarpenter, do you mean one file per piece shape? I have never tried this, but it sounds interesting. Mind you, I could not go just with "old" files here as I would need six different shapes, hence...

Good point Tom. I intend to work my way up gradually. All pawns for good measure and practice first. Then rooks. Then perhaps the bishops prior to the knights. I have already done compound cuts on the...
