Halloween Whistle making material

[John_S]

If you want to have a go at making a body for a Generation type mouthpiece, get yourself down to your local Wilkinson’s and check out their small Devils pitchforks. The bore of the black plastic handle is just the right diameter to take a D top.
You get a foot and a half for 35p.
It’s a bit flimsy so I cut a section length ways and glued it round the outside of the rest of the piece.
The plastic drills and files well and I made a whistle in 1 hour.

Enjoy

so…you leave the pitchfork (which I think is actually a trident) attached so as to look devilish?

“Trident” sounds so much more sophisticated than “pitchfork” anyway.

That is why I like “pitchfork” in that context.

I didn’t realize that the devil tossed hay…does he do it on his days off?

We don’t have a Wilkinson’s on this side of the pond (at least not that I know of). I wonder if they have then at Wally World or something?
