- I found some old chain link fence poles in the rafters of my shop and thought they would make a great set of wind chimes. If you're going to tackle a set of wind chimes yourself, I highly recommend checking out www.leehite.org. He goes over the process of making wind chimes as well as which materials work the best, all the measurements, and how to determine the musical notes of your chimes based on their dimensions. He even shows how to tune you wind chimes. I used his site to get the correct measurements for the size poles I have and also to get a template for the wooden hanger and clanger. Making your own set of wind chimes is a great DIY project and you can get the same great sounds without spending hundreds on a commercial set. I hope this video encourages you to try it out yourself.
Thanks for watching!!

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!
Thank you, and I LOVE the copper idea! I may need to swap mine out for that!
The sound turned out beautiful. I love it!!!
Yeah, I'm so glad I went big, they sound so deep. They're still hanging on our front porch!
These chimes sound wonderful! Great video and you explained everything really well, thank you!
Thank you! I appreciate that. And thanks for watching!
Mahalo for sharing. The sound is great. I cant wait to make some large chimes like yours. Keep Smiling...
Awesome! Thank you! Hope yours turn out great!
Estoy por hacer el mío, y me topé con su video y es el mejor que he visto, muy bien explicado. Felicitaciones por su trabajo. 🤗
Love these, beautiful sound.
Thank you!
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.
Great video! Thanks and cheers from Outback Australia...
Thanks for watching!!
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.
Thank you very much! I didn't think about cutting an angle on the ends, that's a good idea!
@@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.
Thank you, great video👍
Nice job. A set of deep tone chimes is what I want to make. Thanks for the walk through. Also, I didn't even notice the music.
Thanks for the kind words! Yes, the pitch is nice and low, but I couldn’t have done it without the Lee Hite website.
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.
Yes, check out his site, it was such a huge help, I've made additional sets of chimes using his info, so helpful. Thanks for watching!
That is absolutely beautiful! Fantastic work! Thank you for the link to the website too. My neighbours may not be happy!
Haha, well, have fun making it, and hopefully your neighbors like the beautiful sounds it makes.
Very very nice work
Thank you, and thank you for watching!

wonderful lovely thank you
Thank you and thanks for watching!
You done great job..
Thanks!
@@boydstongrove can you do some videos without wood...
@@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
Planning to make mine from Harley parts. Exhaust pipes and sprocket.
Wow, that's a cool idea!
I wish I had the stuff to make some of those they sound beautiful
Thank you!
The pipes were just pieces from an old chain link fence.
I've always called it a clacker.. But it's definitely going to be known as a thunker from now on 😀👍
Haha, thanks!
Looks like you did really well, thanks. What would a set like that sell for
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.
Some call it clapper. I like striker.
Ah, good to know.
I’m thinking about making one out of used thermal flask or yetis
Huh, that is definitely being ingenuitive. Let me know how they turn out!
If you were to buy this in a store it would've been very pricey, nice work!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
How much do they usually run?
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
Let me look it back up and get back to you. I think the website had the conversion, but I'll double check.
👍🏼✌🏼
I started using horse stirrups
Huh, good idea!
You listed pipe and hole measurements. Would have helped if you listed diameter of wood rounds.
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.
What type of aluminum is it made of bro?
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.
@@boydstongrove thanks information bro
What is matel pipe name...?
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.
Are these giant? They look very average to small
HAHA, maybe they're just giant compared to most that I've seen in my area. The whole thing is a little over three feet tall. Maybe where you're from they tend to be bigger.
Wow, drop the music, otherwise what a good video.
Thank you! Don’t remember what the music was, but I’ll go back and check
Ignore that. Adding music makes it more entertaining and less drab and boring.
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.
funny
@@LarryDickman1
A great DIY project, or a giant DIY project? Haha.
Haha, Yes, they're bit, but the bigger you go, the deeper the notes are.
Music most annoying. I did mute and watched 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!
