    One of my the majority of loved and prized garden accessories can be a wind chime that I bought at a craft festival over 25 in years past. It has followed myself to three different residences, adding its musical notes to the yard's ambiance every time air stirs. Made with copper plumber's pipe and small fecal material smoked acrylic, it hangs near my door and plays a musical hello to all visitors.

    It is simple to make your own great sounding wind chimes for a fraction of the charge. Although really fine chimes, quarry included, are designed to play chords, even untuned wind it manually chimes sound great. The pitch or take note of each pipe is dependent upon its length and size. Longer pipes have a lesser pitch, as do piping with larger diameters.

    By using simple tools and off-the-shelf hardware, you can assemble a wind chime of your family in three to several hours. You will need an 8 foot piece of copper pipe, a roll of nylon string and some quarter inch plywood or acrylic sheeting. For equipment, you will require a drill and bits, some sort of pipe cutter, a small file, sandpaper, a jigsaw, scissors 5 small eye hooks and a set of pliers.

    First cut your pipe into 6 program plans, from 10 to 04 inches long, each an inch longer in comparison to the previous one. Drill a hole through each tube, piercing both sides together with about an inch from one end. Smooth off any burrs from the drilling and cutting with the file and sandpaper. Ensure you get rid of burrs within the pipe as well, or your strings will be cut. Now sand the pipes to get rid of any printing and to burnish the copper.

    Lower two circles, one 4 inches in diameter then one 3 inches in diameter from the wood or acrylic. Also cut a sail to hang below to catch your wind. It can be any shape you decide on, as long as it has a flat wide work surface. Sand any rough moves, and around the several inch circle and look 6 evenly spaced holes on the edge for attaching your chimes. Mark centers of each one circle and insert a close watch hook in each, with both sides. Also put an eye hook in the heart of the top of the sail.

    Cut 6 fecal material nylon string, each 24 inches longer and knot them securely on the 6 pipes. Insert the strings with the holes in the big circle, and tie them securely therefore, the pipes hang from it, in order of dimensions and 10 inches below. Now string the smaller circle (the clacker) and also the sail together, about 15 inches width apart. Attach these to the large support circle with another duration of string, so that the clacker can be found between the 6 piping, about 4 inches below the top of them and your sail hangs freely where it may catch the air currents.

    While using the upper eyelet on this large circle, hang your chime and kick back and enjoy its soothing music!
