Nice work. If you like a different sound quality you can put a rubber O-ring around the wooden ball where it contacts the tank. You get a warmer ringing sound to the chime.
Joshua, I just ran across you and your videos today. This is the first and only one i have watched so far. Very nicely done. I am curious about the ratio of ingredients for your rust solution.
@@jeffclark3932 Thanks Jefclark3933. I usually do a 1:1 or 2:1 vinegar to peroxide. I squirt a little soap in the mix to help hold it on the metal and a bit of salt.. the ratio doesn’t have to be precise. I’ve mixed it a variety of ratios and it always seems to work just fine as long as the metal is clean. 🤙
Thanks Craig🙏.. I do sell these ;) I’m always checking local listings for tanks. The steel ones are harder to come by than the aluminum ones, but I scoop them up when I can.👍 Ive made them from oxygen and co2 tanks as well, I’m sure there are some of those in your area ;)
Hello👋🙋♂️ there.. Amazing and very interesting project.. So well explained.. Not easy.. But beautiful work.. Do keep posting new ideas💡💡💡 Warm regards and best👍💯 wishes✨✨✨ The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨🏭
Thank you UnknownManCub🙏🤙 I have a second video on making a bell. It’s not as instructional as the first but you can see that I did things a little different in that one. As I got more comfortable making bells, the process was modified and made easier and quicker. Maybe I’ll do a tutorial on it one day.
Wow With all the right tools and the skills you have you should be able to sell these wind bells for a pretty penny. Very skilled amazing to watch you work with your hands. Do you have your own shop? Or do you sell online? You must be a fabricator or a welder by trade
Thanks Matt.. I am blessed to have my own shop. I do fabricate and make these bells on occasion and sell them on Etsy. I haven’t posted much there recently as I am looking for another less expensive way to sell my products. 👍

Robert Kaiser I had too many interests to settle on one discipline. I’m a glutton for information and learning everything I can about things I want to do or learn how to do. I lean more towards what most would term a “Maker”.
Love the video only issue I had is it would have been nice to see you forge that islet like you did to hanger rather than putting a purchased piece in there otherwise great video awesome tutorial thanks
Hi CactusLadySouth.. It’s more of a manual use bell than a wind chime. Though if I made a longer and wider tail off the clapper it would probably work as a wind style bell. 👍
Curt Obermeyer Hi Curt, a cutting torch would work just fine for steel tanks. I’ve even seen guys use a grinder with cutting wheel. Some tanks are aluminum so a plasma cutter is ideal for those...
Thank you! Unfortunately this was a build I did for my own home. I modified mine from the plans on the attached site. I believe they may be able to get you in contact with a qualified contractor in your area.www.brickwoodovens.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrqv-9YXY7AIVhT6tBh0wUQQSEAAYASAAEgK9fPD_BwE
Hi Carleen, Thanks you for watching my video👏 I do make these bells and sell them. I will put them on my Etsy account on occasion. I typically sell them for around $425 which includes shipping within California. May be more depending on shipping cost. Shaloha🤙
I got a comment notification on my phone.. the only portion of the comment it showed was “ Wrap your balls in leather” .. naturally I had to go see what it said😅😂😂.. haha Thanks for the advice, I’ll have to give it a try. 🙏🤙
