Gilbert's Didgeridoo Construction Techniques for a Didge in the key of 'D'

  • 2" PVC pipe (More closely resembles an actual Eucalyptus Didgeridoo with regards to shape,size, etc.)
  • Propane Torch
  • Hacksaw
  • Shaping Medium (Bottle or Red Clay flower pot)
  • Beeswax (available at your local Health Food Store like Whole Foods)
  • Sandpaper (optional)
    • 1.  Cut pipe to 46 3/8  inches for "D" didge.
    2.  Slightly sand the rough cut edge with sandpaper or just scrape it on a concrete floor to smooth the edge.
    3.  Heat the rough end with the propane torch all around and up to about a 4 inches from the end.  It will begin to soften.
         When it does force the pipe onto the bottle or flower pot to create a flared bell bottom.
         I like to actually wait until it flames up a little bit which will give you some nice exterior cracks on each end.
     4. Heat the mouth end (use the smooth unsawed end) into the flower pot to taper the PVC in from the 2'' diameter to about 1 1/8 inches.
    5.  You have now created a didgeridoo.
    6.  You will have to wash it with a detergent (dishwashing detergent will do) to remove the burnt PVC smell.
    7.  Now you are ready to decorate it.  You can use acrylic paint after sanding the PVC lightly so the paint will adhere.
        Spray spackling works well (available at Home Depot $8.00) after you paint it.  I like to burn it with a propane torch to
        give it a woodsy look.  I follow this with a light sanding to give it a satiny feel.
