Prep Work for Carving a Wood Flute

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Vlad Cardema. Today I'm going to show you how I make these Peruvian flutes. I specialize in making these flutes, and I make didgeridoos and drums, but today I'll show you how to make a Peruvian style flute out of black bamboo. You're going to need clamps to clamp down your work. To clamp down the material, I use this bench with this vice, woodwork vice. And this clamp system that I learned from woodworking, it's just a piece of wood that has a "V" cut into it, and it enables a round flute to sit in there and I use this rope to clamp it down. That way I can drill the holes, and make the mouthpiece, and it makes it easier and manageable. "
