@@steveg601 I tried making a tank drum using deep frying pans. sounds pretty decent. I would be happy if you could see my video and share your opinion.
@@steveg601 Have you seen this video? ua-cam.com/video/q0O6SFM48Fc/v-deo.html Looks like the guy uses a hydraulic press for the dimples and flat surfaces. Thought it was pretty intresting
i appreciate you sharing your work and experiences, thanks man, yeah if ppl have nothing good to say, dont even bother listening to them, people like you doing what you are doing, is a joy to watch and learn .
This was both brilliant, and humorous! Also, very illustrative of just how difficult it is to produce one of these gorgeous creations. I once had a similar thought pertaining to Tibetan singing bowls. Tapping on a metal salad bowl doesn't come anywhere close! Then, when you watch actual artisans creating them, and you see the precision and labor involved, you can only feel humbled and grateful for the intelligent and skillful people that make them. It really is a sort of magic. Thank you for all the time, thought and effort you put into making this video. My wife and I, both "seasoned citizens" ourselves, very much appreciated your clever humor, and your GREAT MATH SKILLS! Stay well!
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 😊
Thank you! I thought I wanted to build my own. You did it like I would have done it. I'm thankful that I looked at your video first...SO...I'm 73 and it will be a cold day in hell before I can save up enough to buy a good one, or even have the time to build one for myself. They have these cute little bitty ones on Amazon and Etsy for a lot less than the nice ones cost. Of course people have to buy their kids something to bang on and appreciate the sound....My kids were given posts and pans of various sizes and that worked for the times. Of course that was way before these things were even invented. I Can probably spring for a small $200.00 one eventually. But I truly enjoyed your video and you saved me $24.00 as that would have been what I would have done myself. I laughed a lot, because I saw myself doing just what you were doing! Thanks! =o)
Karen, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for your input. One addendum - builders have since told me the next step would have been to temper the steel with heat treatment like using a propane flame or heating it over a campfire. The heat treatment would allow it to be tuned. The genuine handpan I ordered finally arrived after a few months, so I no longer needed this homemade one to practice on and threw it out a few months ago. I hope you find some interesting instrument to play. Enjoy.
@@steveg601 A heat gun reaches about 2000 degrees and is pretty easy to handle...but I ended up purchasing a Kalimba, instead. I'm not a professional so I just wanted something new to play around with at home. This will do just fine....fingers won't do as well on the guitar anymore. Thanks for responding! =o)
Came for the tutorial, subscribed cuz this guy is awesome!😂😍 funny, sweet (northerner style lol), his transparency is hilariously authentic, and loved his passion for the interesting instruments 😍
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 liked the way how he tried all possibilities to get that in shape and put up the notes, he could not make it... But really liked him not giving up and kept trying... Really liked the video sir 👍👌
I like your brilliant idea. It comes close to what I am about to do. I planned to use those stainless bowls but I am about to make it a tounge drum. That way l will not have the flattening problem. I have made the templates for the differenr tounges from thick paper and fixed them with some easy to remove glue to their respective position and marked the outline with a fine marker on the pan's outside. Cutting them with a dremel and small cutting disk u6s no big problem if you do it slowly. The tine you can easily adjust by extending the cut and make the actual tounge slightly longer. The longer the cut the lower the tone. I tried it in a smaller scale and it worked perfect. Now comes the real size and i am confident that this will also work well. At the end it kept me busy doing something different and usefull. The sound is good and I am quite satisfied that I do not have to buy that super instrument
Thank you so very much for this. There really can sometimes be such a thing as " 'A' for effort ".... and this gets an 'A +++'. Brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Hi dear, really enjoyed your positivity and character and the way the things should work . Am preparing to make on of those but missing the notes so, would mind to pass me those of yours please?
this was really useful for understanding the construction process. it's easy to see how with better base materials anyone could conceivably construct a quality hung using this video as a guide. THANK YOU!
Beautiful approach to discovery and learning. A lesson on being a student of life. I agree with a previous comment suggesting hearing the bowls and letting them cool slowly to remove tempering - that should help deal with the notes popping back out, as it gets the steel back to being malleable. I'm going to use your fantastic idea to try making a steel tongue pan.
I'm not all the way through video yet, but maybe if the flat surface was created first...it would be easier to then pound the dimple notes into the pan...just a thought...that way the flat area is already there and the curved dimple note could be easier to create without distortion. Loved the video and love how your think. Thank you.
Mr G ! The end result admittedly sounded well average :) I do however take my hat off to you, Life is trial and error, one can clearly see this was an education exercise and I learned a lot , you cant put a price on knowledge sir! best wishes from Sunny South Africa
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?
Thank you Voytsmis, but piano and violin are way past my skill level. I love your Handpan, RAV Vast and Pulsar music - my three favorite instruments. How coincidental, I watched hundreds of videos of all different scales and finally ordered a C# Anna Ziska Handpan from David Galleher of Makai Instruments. That is a beautiful scale which such versatility and you do magic with it. I also have a RAV Vast2 Kurd on order. After my budget recovers from these two major purchases - and that will be a while - a Pulsar is next on my list. My grandfather and Aunt played/plays the violin as a hobby. If you are serious about a violin, try a $62 violin. Here is a video comparing a $62 violin with a $285,000 violin. Honestly, I cannot tell the difference in sound quality. ua-cam.com/video/1HotrHNXwpE/v-deo.html
Would heating the metal with a propane torch, and then making the flats first, followed by the dimples be better? If you place a hard flat piece of steel on the inside of the bowl, that wack it from the outside, perhaps that will work.
Try flattening it first by putting a flat topped circular piece under the center of the note. That should flatten it to the right size, give or take, and then put the dimples in. Just a thought I came up with while watching. You remind me of me. I am always trying to do some job/project without the proper tools, and just flying by the seat of my pants. Thanks for an informative and very entertaining video.
Dang!! You really put a LOT of work into this project! Very cool! Fun to watch! Wish there was a builder near you. I’d think you’d get a kick out of hanging with them in their shops for a day! It’s a fascinating process! 🛸 🎶. 🤗 🦋
2 things. dont flatten the sound plates extend the areas around them till the sound plates flatten themselves out more. then once they are flatter is when you hammer out the plates themselves for tuning. also on premade bowls you may need to heat them and let them cool slowly to knock off any temper, not sure on this, then reheat and cool quickly to temper it back once its in the basic shape. otherwise it may be easier to make a tank drum if you cant get a handpan right away. i made one a few years back that i dont have anymore from an old helium tank and worked just fine. definitely not a handpan but had decent tones and is somewhat dome shaped. the helium tank is at least safer than a propane tank but a lighter metal. just need a dremmel with some cutoff wheels or just a drill and a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade. hope this helps
Those are good points. Thank you. Others have also said that heating the pan to anneal it will help tuning. Extending the flat area gradually is also good advice. Although, my amateur attempt produced a terrible handpan, I actually did practice playing on it for two months while following an online handpan tutorial before my real handpan arrived. It did help my arm coordination tremendously. So, it did serve its temporary purpose. Now, that I have a real handpan I retired that practice pan to the trash heap. Also, I do have two professionally made tank drums from helium (not propane) tanks. I posted a video playing one of them. Thanks for your interest in this little exercise.
when hammering from a flat 18 gauge piece of metal to form shell, the metal stretches to form the depths, the hammering produces heat causing an annealing or hardening to take hold, these bits also foldmicroscopically upon themselves ( like a samurai sword). So basically if you would have used a flat piece and formed it wa-la or maybe even a less deep bowl things would've been different.
@@steveg601 I watched a bunch videos and none had smooth keys around the dimples, they all had a little hump. Maybe if you cut tongues into the sides it would allow a nice bell tone. I'm gonna try shallow salad bowls.
That is an excellent idea. It does change it from a handpan to a tongue pan, but it would serve well as a temporary solution while waiting for the arrival of a handpan or RAV, etc. People typically wait several months to one or two years to get their handpan and they need something to practice on in the meantime while waiting. Yet, there is nothing available. So something that could be made with simple hand tools would be great. When you make it please post a video. I and others would love to see how it comes out.
I think that its actually quite amazing the sheer fact that you even attempted creating it 👌 so well done for that achievement sir. As for the the dimples inside the bowl looked really similar to the real thing and the fact that they take hours upon hours of forgery to create and you made by yourself is amazing man. Thank u for the video 📹 💓
I think...where you went wrong: the metal bowl isn't the PROPER metal!!! The type of metal (also how it is treated!!!) used also determines the sound. As does the thickness of the metal used. A thicker steel makes a deeper sound, thinner metal a brighter one. It would sound WAY better with type of treated metal that is used which increases the sound through the duration of the tone and such :D I also do love how informative you are about how to make the notes!!! Also....it almost looks like you could have turned the bowl inside out: then make the notes? The underside of the bowl actually looked LIKE roughly the same texture as a handpan....also heat and nitridation would help, therein lays the difficult part XD
Stay Zen my friend! Loving you video and was rewarded with good laugh with the end result!! Hilarious failure!! Final note, it was indeed educational as to how a handpan is made. Peace Brother.
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!

I think you would be more successful making a tung style drum, where you cut tungs into it, and tune, with how long the slots are.
when hammering from a flat 18 gauge piece of metal to form shell, the metal stretches to form the depths, the hammering produces heat causing an annealing or hardening to take hold, these bits also foldmicroscopically upon themselves ( like a samurai sword). So basically if you would have used a flat piece and formed it wa-la or maybe even a less deep bowl things would've been different.
