Thank you so much for all the effort, time, & detail you put into this video! This has been very helpful to watch as I thought about doing the same thing 😊
How to waste 24$ and a lot of time to get a... loaf of junk metal resembling a handpan? Sorry, but what was the motivation for making this video in the first place?
Oh buddy , hammer ur flat areas from the inside first and then put ur dimples in. U have to keep the metal stretched in order for it to "ring" . Try it on a scrap piece first so u get the jist of it. Good luck my friend. Be patient!
If you cant do math like that then your screwed. If your not trained in percussive instrument tuning, your screwed. Its actually better to save yhe money and have the patience to wait for the real deal. You could watch a handpan making tutorial video from an actual handpan manufacturer to see how its done. Otherwise, i would just plan for the real thing. 🤷♂️ Thanks just my opinion. I appreciate you time and effort into creating this video with supporting creativity. 😏👍
Brilliant love it..I'm gonna show this to my hubby..everytime I need to have a picture on the wall he goes running to the garage for a hammer that he can't find for 20 minutes..I go to the kitchen drawer for my rolling pin yay its up in 2 mins! 😅
I wonder if you could do like an epoxy pour of a professional one to make a mold, then either let harden, and if it turn out mold not hard enough use to hammer steel over it, then try a concrete pour overtop of epoxy mold for stronger outer mold. Plus, this could maybe work using small sized drum as mold, then it can be built out to steel bowl size…. What do you think?
As a metal worker, the problem is you beed to _shrink the metal_ which also implies that it must get thicker. Metals, obviously, dont like doing that. But they can be...er, "beaten" into submission! You should pound against a flat surface. This can be done with the flat end of one of your 2x3s on the inside as you pound with your hammer. This will force the metal yo do what you want - which is to push sideways to thickenand shrink. You should also anneal occasionally - heat until red hot and cool slowly. The metal will soften. Keep in mind that stainless steel has chromium in it, so aneal outside, and wear a welding respirator!
hahaha,,,even if it dosnt sound perfect the first time, I think you re walking th journey towards the art of handpans....I bet this is how they started...it s a matter of changing metals..adding..etc
