I hope you still see comments on this video. I realize that it is eight years old, but it is very timely for me. The algorithm suggested this video to me just this morning. Coincidentally, I finished my first set of chimes yesterday, and started designing my second. I have spent time on Lee Hite's web site, and find it invaluable. Without it I would have had to determine everything by trial and error. Your chimes are beautiful, both visually and sonically.
what a beautiful gift for your parents... love the inlay work ..makes me want to pull my scroll saw and other tools from the back of the garage and do some work.
What a wonderful gift of yourself to give your parents! Simply beautiful craftsmanship and fine attention to detail, as was obvious in the hummingbird feathers.
The method used here to hang the chimes is a bit mixed up. The thread is attached to a wire inside the tube. This is meant for a one point hanger. If you are using two hanging points for each chime, just pass the thread through both holes and tie the ends to the hanging points.
The reason I suggested restringing the chimes is so that they sound better. The method used here will mute the sound of the chimes somewhat. They may sound good, but they will sound better without the string touching the end of the chimes.
Thanks for asking. The chimes are still hanging to this day, and they sound as good as ever. I've since replaced the wind catcher (the hummingbird) with one made from copper.
Beautiful piece. I’m intrigued! But also understand I’m no where near this level of expertise. It would have been nice to have a bit more explanation on like what tools you were using but that’s just coming from a beginner. Im sure if I go to the local improvement store they can guide me on tools as well. Gold Star 🌟
Nice work but no information. How long tubes, where holes drilled, so in other words your just showing off how good you are. And you do a very nice present for your parents.
nice job but i woulda used the same gold chain to support the tubes centers by a v pin faceing up when you installed them to center the chain ..sharper looking then strings ..ohh I'd like the tubes staggered on the bottom not the top ....next one maybe huh ??
Very informative, but the music was a bit louder than your voice, and a little annoying. The genre reminded me of those old black and white horror movies with Boris Karloff. I expected to hear some lady scream and a werewolf howl. lol Seriously, I think you did an excellent job on this.
The proof is in the sound, and these sound great! He pointed out that he is using Lee Hite's guidelines. Lee provides ideal suspension points and striking points.

This is a fine approach. The rod will be much less likely to wear the string. But it's mostly an esthetic choice, and I think this looks great.

Music from 1940s love movie....🎶🎶🎶
Very informative, but the music was a bit louder than your voice, and a little annoying. The genre reminded me of those old black and white horror movies with Boris Karloff. I expected to hear some lady scream and a werewolf howl. lol

To much noise
No consideration about nodal points for hanging! Not recommended!

Annoying music, good craftsmanship!
Fantastic work but terrible music for it
Nice job. Horrible music
