How to make a wooden organ pipe - Part 3 of 3

A suggestion:. Get a wireless relay to turn your dust remover off/on and carry it in your pocket.
Thanks for the series of videos'. You do excellent work. I cannot agree with the principle of using wood for what appears to be *all* principal scaled flue pipes. There's a limitation imposed on wood pipes that stops the voicer from getting the sound they *typically*want for principal tone- beyond a certain pitch-about g 32 on an open 8'. But it boils down to taste and using what you have.

I'm fully impressed, but all we have seen so far are flute pipes, how about some reeds for a change? a Bombarde will be a good start?

My admiration for organ builders has just risen about 10000 times! Great to see genuine craftsmanship like this :-)

Youré enormous ralph, i´m making my pipe orga your help with your videos are unvaluable!!!!!!!!!!!!

very nice!

why did you not use french polish as the organ builders used when pipe making

MASTER! xD
nice work
saludos desde Chile!

Nice work! Only 249 to go...lol
Lots of cabinet making skills used there.
Nice little shop setup, though it probably gets crowded fast.

Do you get allot of tear-out with the radial arm saw? I prefer a sliding miter saw for end cuts
Thanks for posting! Will be helpful if I get around to making a 20 note organ clock.

Fascinating series of videos! Aren't Prestant stops usually made of metal though?

Yes, they're usually made of metal and the difference between metal and wood pipes becomes very apparent in the higher pitches. A good argument can be made for the making of Principal 8's from C1 to about g 20 of open wood construction. But it's not very efficient if you're running a big pipe organ company. If metal becomes scarce or too costly the option becomes viable and vice versa. Packing and shipping wood pipes is much easier and less costly than metal pipes.
