Where does one pick up the solid plastic for making fipple plugs without ordering them?
Thanks,

Thanks for the replies, guys. It looks like I will have to order the fipple material, or find a plastics place. Right now I can't go any farther in my whistle making venture, until I can find a plug. I have given up on wooden plugs, since they swell and clog too easily. I did come up with a temporary alternative in a candle. It can be shaped very easily too find out what the fipple should eventually look like. I recently went down to the local hardware store to pick up my early birthday present--a Dremel. I love it, but today I did find a copper tube (high D) spinning like mad on the end of the bit, going around and around, after the drill bit cought hold of the hole I was trying to make bigger and quickly took the tube out of my grip. All I could do was to keep the tube at arm's reach as it spun until it finally came off the bit. I thought it was rather funny, although I did learn from the situation. It's called respect, and don't let it happen again! -JP
