Bamboo projects with Luie and Daddy

Several months ago, Summer did a project making a water hammer using bamboo.  This was very fascinating to Luie.  So when he saw the tall bamboo growing next to the stream, he brought several long lengths up to the house and asked daddy if they could do a project together.

They decided to make a bamboo wind chime.

Dave cut the bamboo into different lengths.

Luie helped to sand the rough edges.

Luie assembles the wind chime.

Then Dave decides that he will also make some bamboo flutes.  He drills the holes for the flutes as Luie watches.  Luie is quick to tell Dave when to stop drilling before he goes all the way through the bamboo.

The flutes turn out remarkably well, and Luie is happy to start playing.

The finished bamboo wind chime is beautiful.  In Luie’s words “This is so cool!”

A new flute for both Luie and Dave.  It think a concert is in order!  Bravo

Making memories, making projects, enjoying family time!
