Need help. Building a gun.

I do have lots of pictures mate but, here is a short vid that probably answers a few questions, funny thing is when I posted this on a didge group on face book I got negative a response for giving away to much technique LOL I don't hold secrets!
Re the circular breathing - I think it helps my life in general as it is such a satisfying sensitisation!

You made my day. Thank you.

My best experience of listening to the didge was watching an Irish band. It was when Dire Straits were touring Oz & I got tickets to see them at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. The opening act was The Hot House Flowers. These folks did a duel between a flute & a didge & then they just blended both in together. Who would have thought that would work so well. It was awesome! Poor old Dire Straights couldn't hold a candle to them, & it was just painful to watch as they were totally smashed on something . I left after a few songs from them, but the price of the tickets was well worth it to see what the Hot House Flowers could make the didge do.

Cheers Sharkey

No, not really - but the ideas are coming:

- I will make a short one - stock length around one meter. Simple. Slim techno-look...?
- One fat rubber or strong rubber.
- partly covered rubber, lines and lineblocks in barrel
- CF and PUR foam.
- Trigger with bottom line release

Hey guys. What do you guys recommend me doing for the handle? As the gun is laminated in 5 coats of polyurethane varnish the handle feels a bit slippery so it makes it kinda hard to manoeuvre the gun around side to side. How could I add some grip to the gun without ruining the wood look? (Most of it at least, if possible)

You can give a part of your handle epoxy with a brush and sprinkle it with a layer of dried fine sand (such as that used for sandblasting).

A piece of grip tape (for boat decks) or rubber skin (like used on car panels) can also be used.

Actually I thought of the sandblasting sand as I usrd to work with a sanddblaster. Thanks

You could cover the handle with tape & then grip it with a painted hand to leave a print, then cut away the print marks with a scalpel, make up some epoxy sand mix (maybe black) & paint it on the exposed wood.

Yes I have. No problems, but you might need to be a little patient...
