Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)

Indeed! Nurtured, well cared for, and taught in our elementary schools! :D

Yeh, it starts with potatoes, then they turn to beer cans filled with concrete, next thing you know they are cutting leather washers for their silenced STEN gun.

Just say no to spuds.

Is it possible he actually gets paid for doing some of these? That's almost as unbelievable as a guy I know who makes a living tweaking whistles!
This is a rapid fire ping-pong ball launcher I built for a marketing/entertainment company. The 4" screw cap comes off and 200 pingpong balls get dumped into the chamber. The little nipple that comes off the back gets hooked up to the exhaust of a wet/dry vac. The high volume of air blowing through the unit funnels the balls into the barrel and then blows them out. It only has a range of about 75 feet but for special effects/confetti/pingpong balls.....thats all you need. It was a fun project...different...but fun. The look on my neighbors face was priceless as he watched me hose down my back yard with several dozen ping pong balls!!!!
Best wishes,
Jerry

The Love Gun.. There's only one way to go with that one. Guess I'll give it up.

Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.
