Step 3Sandidge
The Sandidge it's probably the method the most expend to make a didge.
What is it?
Well it consist to do like a sandwich, you find a good wooden stick, you split it in two part, you dig it and you glue it!!
What you need?
_Wooden stick (1,5m-2,10m), you can use Agave/Pita, this is the better to begining. Easy to split, easy to dig!
_Knife.
_Sand paper.
_White glue.
Eventually Epoxy and scisors wood
How to proceed?
I will explain you for Agave, this is the more simple, but for every kind of wood it'sthe same process.
To split the agave it's really simple, juste take a good and long knife, and cut it in the lengthwise, it's easy because because this wood is very fibrous.
Then, dig with your knife or with scisors wood, to have one half tube in each part, didgeridoo physics is really complex, butyou have to know that the sound is modeled in the first 2/3 ofyour didge, and it is amplificated in the last 1/3. You can dig like cone for exemple, butthe better is to try and find what you want.
After this you can sanding your two half tubes, and put some white glue with water (or Epoxy) inside to do it harder, when it's dry, put an other time, and an other timeifit's necessary.
Finally you can put white glue in each part of your didge, and assemble it. Use rope to clamp it really strongly.
Well it's finsh, you can protect it with olive oil outside, andmake some decoration if you want, but I prefer natural.
