Finishing touches
The last little bits included chamfering the tone holes and adjusting the fipple block and mouthpiece cap to perfect the sound.
I used a bit of fine sandpaper wrapped around an extra bit of piping to chamfer out the tone holes. This is for a nice feel on the fingers, and apparently also improves the tone slightly.

I used electrical tape to fix in the fipple block and mouthpiece cap in place. I have decided not to glue in the fipple block and cap as I will probably replace the fipple with a properly shaped piece of dowel.
