i’ve been looking for a DIY windchime video for awhile now, one that’ll let me get those deep resonate tones i enjoy. This video is great! I’ll be using something heavier for the windsail, most likely a thin sheet of copper. Love your work!
Absolutely gorgeous along with a great tone. Spot on about the sail having proper weight, I had the same issue. I also put a 45-degree cut on the bottom of the tubes. Painting the tubes puts it on an entirely different level, fantastic. Thank you for a beautiful video.
@@boydstongrove the 45-degree cut comes from another chime video. Definitely not my idea. Small detail but gives it a more finished look in my opinion. I will be painting my chimes. Thanks again.
Beautiful! One of these days I’m going to have giant chimes made, not sure how, who, where… but giant chimes I can hit with big Thor-like hammers as part of a sound healing concert🙂
They turned out great. The last video I watched the guy made really long tubes out of fence post and had to hang them at different heights to get good sound, yours are hanging nice and even and make a lovely sound. Lee Hite has a marvelous calculator for making the tubes sound good and not like junk clanging. Thank you for taking the time to make this video! And the music was fine with me, more interested in the actual product and process than the music.
Thanks for your kind words! We really enjoyed making them. And that Lee Hyte website is amazing, we’ve made more since then following his instructions and they’ve all come out great.
I usually buy expensive windchimes, so your DIY project is wonderful. your chimes had a beautiful sound. Thanks for posting the name of the master chime engineer, I will check it out.
Could you use square piping instead of round? I have an ez up tent frame that I hate to discard of and wanted to make something with it. Thank you. Beautiful sound!
I never would have thought of that. The website that I used in the video actually gives a list of materials and what works best. A lot of it also depends on the diameter of the material; the smaller the diameter, the less sound you'll get.
Do you have a video about making the wooden router "holder" you used to clean up the edges of your smaller wooden pieces? Thank you for the great video!
I do not have a video for that, I actually got that idea from Jimmy Diresta and just kind of made it up. But I am working on a design for a small, tabletop router table and I will have a video and plans for that. Thanks for watching!
Great questions! Metals like aluminum, copper, brass are considered soft metals and cut very easily with a standard woodworking blade, as long as you move at a nice, slow pace. However cutting metal can shoot off metal flecks so make sure you're wearing your PPE. The same goes for the drill bits. When it's a softer metal, the bits go through no problem, but they will get dull so you may need to replace them afterwards. I use an awl or nail punch to create a divot first so the drill bit doesn't slip around. Hope this helps.
Hello I come from Vietnam. I would like to ask, can you convert it to cm because we do not use the inch unit of measurement? Can you please send me the size, diameter of the cutting position and hole drilling position? thank you
Thanks! I tried to find comps on Amazon, looks like they run a couple hundred dollars for a set that size, but I found it not worth it to batch them out when I’m buying the supplies retail. But they do make great gifts.
@@sachinrajstr3255 we actually have a few projects in the works for this late summer and fall that don’t involve wood. We try to mix it up when we can. Right now most of my tools are for woodworking, that’s why most of our projects involve wood. BUT keep an eye out cause we have some cool stuff coming out
I used galvanized poles that are used for chain link fence. I'm not sure what type that is, but you can pick them up at any big box store hardware store. Usually they come in 6ft lingths.
Yep, you're right. I didn't think of it because if you go to the website, there are free templates to print out, so I never actually measured them, I just used the templates.
The pipes I used are galvanized pipes that are made for putting up chain link fence, but I didn't buy them, they were left in the rafters of my shop by the previous owner.
Just lower the volume of the music.The reason is that it can aggravates people's tinnitus. Causing people to play with volume control up and down trying to hear you.
Haha, you’re not the first to mention the music on that particular vid. I’ll have to go back and watch it. Thank you for watching anyway, I appreciate it!
