Making a Wind Chime

- Welcome to the Bearded Woodworker. In This video, I show you how I made a Wind Chime from galvanized steel bought at the local hardware store. The steel is 1 1/2 fencing post and can be purchased from $6-9 per 6 foot poles. You could use all sorts of different pipes to make a wind chime, but I chose the galvanized steel as it's my 11th year anniversary married to my beautiful bride and the traditional girt is steel,
My micro phone was turned off on some portions of the build and that's why some instructions I had videoed, didn't make it into the final cut. Here is the website I used to find location of the holes, length of the pipes and even what tones I wanted to use.
www.leehite.org
I chose to go with the Pentatonic C9 chord, as I read it was one of the best sounds.
Here are the lengths and hole locations:
C note - 40 7/16" , hole placement 9+
E note - 36" , hole placement 8+
G note - 33" , hole placement 7 3/8
Bb note - 29 7/16" , hole placement 6 1/2+
D note - 27" , hole placement 6+
Here is the link I used to make a paper pentagon from a square piece of paper.

Beautiful Sound! I'm impressed and honestly it exceeds my expectations in terms material sound quality, I used to think aluminum was the exact sound to achieve that quality, now with this project of yours It gives me hope I could go with the galvanized steel pipe and still getting the desired results, will do this project soon, thank you very much Sr.
Beautiful sound on those chimes. Thanks so much for teaching us how.
You are welcome. Thank you for the nice comment. We are still loving the sound out our window.
It’s a beautiful wind chime, your wife will love it. Congratulations on 11 years of marriage plus many more.
Thank you so much! It has been a few years now and she still absolutely loves hearing them outside the window.
"This is so much harder than it looks!!" I took some old manure spreader pipe line that was 3 and half inch around, trying to make farm memorabilia, but as far as where to drill the hole and how far down to hang them and then the longer and placing that...IKES!!!!! LOVED YOUR SOUND!!!!
Thank you! I love your idea of the farm memorabilia. I'm not sure if you checked out the website in the description, but there is ton of information there and you might find the size pipe you are using to place your holes for hanging. Thanks for watching!
@@TheBeardedWoodworker Thanks so much!!!!
The specific lengths and the distance of 22.4% individual pipe length for each hang hole make this video the magic charm for me. Mine's going under a bird house, but the sound has been my trouble spot. Thanks for the video!
That's awesome to hear. Glad you got something out of my video. Thanks for the comment! Good luck.👍🏻
my wife of 45 yrs loved wind chimes we had maybe 30 different kind an i still do today in honor of her we called it music of the wind love them
I bet it's nice to hear a wind chime and think of her! They are a beautiful sound. Thank you for the comment!
Awww so sweet
Thanks for keeping in the mistakes as well. Loved watching it.
Yeah, it just needed to stay. Thanks, Brother!
Just found you......Your heart is as massive as your Awesome beard.......Lucky wife......CONGRATULATIONS and Happy Anniversary....What a sweet gesture......to take the time to make her gift.
Awe....thank you so much! I love reading great positive comments. Thanks for taking the time and watching my video and leaving this feel good comment. Oh, yeah, I'm just as lucky as she is 🙂. HAVE A GOOD DAY!
Congratulations to you and the wife on 11 years. Thanks for the video.
Thank David! Life is good. 👍
Yours looks quite doable for reasonable cost ( ie: honey-do please... ) and sounds fantastic. Well done. (Lee's site and videos are a bit overwhelming and technical for me, though a great resource for many things like templates and such.) Now to hunt down some tubing, fencing, or even shower curtain rods to cut into that amazingly soothing Pentatonic C9 chord sound. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I agree that the website is quite informative aka, overwhelming. Lol! I'm glad you enjoyed my video and hope you find it helpful to create one of your own. Happy New Year!
Bearded woodworker your the man! I’m making a wind chime based off your video with some old fence posts hopefully it turns out as wonderful as yours
Thank you. Good luck! I'm sure they'll turn out great.
Thank you so very much for sharing your love with your wife.
The proof’s in the harmony of your gift of celebration 🙏
You are welcome, and thank you so much for your comment. It's comments like this, from people like you that make me want to keep doing this!
Oh, this turned out really nice! I love the deep sound!
Thanks you! We love the sound too. It's hanging outside our dining room window.
Watching this video made this idea a little bit more attainable! Can't wait to try this out.
Awesome, good luck! Let me know if you succeed!
This was excellent..the best do it yourself BIG WIND chime I have been able to find on the tube...really easy and practical and a beautiful tone..thanks from Mexico..saw one that size here for 400 dollars..imagine!!!!
Wow, they aren't cheap, huh? Thank you so much for the kind words, I really do appreciate them. Thanks for watching in Mexico!!
Thank you for sharing the link to the website explaining the different notes and types of metal and lengths. Wow that is so helpful,
You are welcome. There is SO much information there! Who knew there is such a difference I'm all the materials?
Thanks for the video! I'll be revisiting often once I start this project... Looks like you had fun (mistakes and all) - always makes me happy to see people doing stuff just because they can!
Thank for the comment! It was a real fun project. Good luck with yours and be sure to check out the website in the description to get the perfect tone chimes, unless you like the sound of mine, then follow my dimensions. :-)
Great idea and love the tone! Happy anniversary! Thanks for sharing the video.
Thank you, it sounds amazing outside our window!! Thanks for watching and the comment.
Absolutely love! Thanks for sharing!! What a thoughtful gift
You are welcome. I'm really glad you enjoyed it and appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.
these are the most beautiful sounding wind chimes i have ever heard!!! better than the $500 ones after which i have been lusting. just gorgeous and amazing.
Awe...thank you so much! I love to read positive comments like this. Glad you enjoyed it 😊.
That’s funny watching you with the hacksaw . That’s what I was doing too . Then I remembered I have two reciprocating saws one is plug in and the other is battery . The battery one zipped right through a lot faster and easier on my arthritis
That's so SUPERB, THANKS YOU. 😊
You are so welcome. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
I love, love, LOVE that chime!!! I want one!!! 💕🥰💕
If you live in an area where there is a lot of wind these chimes are the best. Since I installed mine the wind went away and it’s very calm here
Oh no, I will send some of my wind your way! Thanks for the comment!
@@TheBeardedWoodworker thank you. these are beautiful sounding chimes. My family loves them
Hey we wanted to see Mrs. Woodworker's reaction! The chimes are really special.
I would love to show everyone her reaction too, but she is camera shy and doesn't like to be filmed. She doesn't mind photos so much because she can pick and choose which one she likes.😁
Beautiful !!!!
LOVE the star Idea!
Thank you staring, off to Make one like it now!
THANK YOU
Sorry for the late response. Thank you some much. Hope it turns/turned out lovely. Good luck!
Awesome gift happy anniversary.
Thank you!
I was looking for a DIY windchime video when I came across yours. By far, the easiest for ME to understand! LOL! Some out here are just way too technical! This is the exact size and sound I've been looking for! I needed to do a DIY because to buy one of those, in that size, is outrageous! I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty! 😉 My husband has a workshop, he works, I'm retired...soooo😏😉 Thanks for sharing, and I'm sure your wife loved it! ❤
My wife DID love it, and it made the perfect gift! I've seen the prices on these and that is exactly why I made one.😁 Good luck with it, and don't forget to check out the description for some detail measurements and the websites I used to help me out. Thanks for the comment!
Another great project, turned out fantastic. I really enjoyed the music.
The Bearded Giant Thanks brother! I really like the music too. I kept giggling when I was putting together the beginning pipe cutting scene.
What a Great project ! Really a very enjoyable video. Now that I saw you use the chain , I'll be going to redo the chimes that I made. Thanks 😊
Cool, thank you so much for your comment! I chose chain instead of fishing thinking it might hold up better. Good luck!
Love it brother... I made the wife one for Mothers day. Very informative and easy to follow along your side! Thanks a bunch❤😊✌
So awesome, nice work! So glad I could help. Thanks for the comment!
Work of art ! Happy Anniversary!
Thank you so much
Congratulations on your 11th yr Anniversary...We just celebrated our 50th, so y’all have a ways to go....Great project...

Thank you so much for the comment. I do enjoy building and hand making gifts for other. This video was nearly a year ago and now I have to make something for our 12th!
Love it Gary congratulations on 11 years marriage the chime sounds amazing but I bet your neighbours love being woken up by that early morning sound crazy loud great work my friend
Ha ha ha thanks Warren. I'm just gonna call this payback for their barking dogs!
My dad made one and when i went to visit him last month in Texas i was woken up to it every morning and LOVED it!! I have some but they are gay lil ones and i cannot really hear them at all but would love it if i had one like this or even if my neighbors had it! Congrats to the wife and you as well
We still love hearing this outside our window! Thanks for sharing your story. 👍
This is the best I've seen
Thank you so much!!!
Beautiful..they sound so incredible!
Thank you so much! We still love hearing them!
I guess you could say your The Bearded _steel_ worker now.
But really this is so wholesome.
Love the sound of the chimes.
Thank you! We still love to hear them too. So peaceful.
Looks great and sounds beautiful. Congrats!!
Thanks Robert! Still love hearing it outside our home.
What an awesome gift 🎁
I wished my husband would make me one!
it's so beautiful wind chimes and
beautiful harmony ,Thank for you shared ~
You are welcome. I appreciate your comment!
5 years later. Nice Job!
Thank you so much! Still sounds great.
The neighbors must love this guy.........
Gotta say... That hip cam has got to be the best thing I've seen on any woodworking youtube channel xD
Ha ha ha....thanks. I try to be entertaining sometimes. 👍🏻
Easy to follow along and great video ! Thanks. Makes me want to start making my own. ( really big ones too )
Ha ha....really big ones would be great! Thanks for your thoughts and comment.
Great wind chime. Sounds great.
Thanks Bruce! They our outside our living room window, and I don't think we will get tired of hearing them.
Lenient.com
I love how it sounds! I hope to make one soon.
The sound is exactly what we wanted, and sounds amazing outside our window! Good luck with it!
That would make a great project. Have fun with it...
Well, that’s just terrific. It has a deep and calming sound. It occurred to me that you could cut pipes for the remaining 6 notes, put them in a nearby rack and she could swap them out to make any darned chord she was in the mood for. Perhaps a minor 7th chord on a dark and stormy night.
Ha ha ha....that's a great idea. I do still have the left over pipes (a year later) so that could happen. Thanks!
Hppy anniversary! Looks great!
Thank you!
very calm video to watch after a long week of pissy customers. need more chimes in my life..lol
Well I'm glad to hear my video was helpful after a bit so great day. Thanks for letting me know!
that is an amazing crafts my brother !!! well done !!! you give a lovely idea right now !!! take care brother !! and thanks a lot for the detailed video !!
Hey man, thanks for the positive comment! I appreciate the time you made to let me know I'm doing an ok job. Thanks, Brother!
Wow, just Wow what an awesome project. It turned out great, I just love the sound . I love that you did not use alot of fancy tools, I think I can do this myself..Success....
You totally can do this yourself! You can use a hand drill to put the hole in the pipes. Good luck with it!
Gary did a good job demonstrating the project...
Thanks Andrew!
Mr. B.W.! First off, Congrads on your Anniversary! Second, I absolutely love and totally appreciate your moment at 11:04 ! THAT my friend is gold! How many times I have been there in my shop. No one can understand it unless they have been there. Oh and that feeling of returning from the hardware store with a dozen or so parts only to realize you forgot one very important piece. Classic. Your project is awesome and it turned out great. Keep your sense of humor and best to you on all your future projects. ~ H.W. / Chimes & Chairs
Thank you so much! Your comment made my day. I need to get back out and create....mistakes and all! Thank you for watching and taking the time to give me positive feedback!
I have to add as soon as that happened, I cracked up! Too often these DIY videos don't show the frustrations of mistakes. Love it! Great product sir, great job.
Ha me too when he threw that wood i hated to laugh and felt bad for doing so but it is part of the process!
I've been wanting to make one for a long time!
Give it a try! The website I have linked in the description has a ton of information on all sorts of materials and pipe lengths and such. It's a busy website, but informative. Good Luck!
SOUNDS VERY NICE! AND LOOKS GOOD TOO! GREAT JOB 'CEPT FOR THE ANGER THANK YOU FOR TIME AND EFFORT.
Ha ha ha....yeah, sometimes I film the frustrations, but most of the time I'm having a good time in the shop. Thank you!
Sounds great ! Congrats
Thanks!
This is the first time I've seen your videos. Nice job
Well thank you so much. Feel free to check out some more of my videos. 🙂
They sound awesome. Good job! Enjoyed the video.
Thank you so much!
Sounds really good great job
Thank you!
WOW, firstly, that has to be the most romantic gesture I’ve come across. I love wind chimes and I’d be pleased as punch to receive such a thoughtful gift. I loved the little dances whilst sawing, that made me laugh. Fantastic video and you’re very likeable. I’m subscribing. Love to you and your beautiful wife from England. xxx
Thanks Laura. This has to be the sweetest comment I have received. I try to have some fun now and again. I really appreciate your comment and it's super cool you are watching me from England. What an amazing world!
Nice work 👍! Thanks for sharing. I got some new ideas by watching you sir.
Awesome. That's why I do this is to help spark ideas in people. Good luck with your project!
Wow! Great sounds
Thank you. We still love hearing them outside our window!
Happy anniversary
Thank you very much!
Your rhododendrons are incredible!
I know, right?! We have several of them on our property. Thanks!
I really loved your presentation. nice one.
Awesome, thank you so much!
So very nice sounds and completely beautiful...
Thank you so much! The wind was making them sing today.

Awesome! You are welcome. A very good luck to you!
sounds are amazing! I will have to make one too... I live in a windy place and have many sets of chimes already... but none with this tone!
Thank you, and good luck with it! I've had to take it done a couple of times during our Gail warnings because it was hitting our window!
That’s like a four hundred dollar wind chime! Amazing amazing
Nice flowers you have In your background .
Thanks! These are Rhododendron trees, and they are all over our property. We love them, especially when they are in bloom!
excellent work sir!
Thank you so much!
Good man. Great job
Thank you so much!
New subscriber. I love your wind chimes! Great job. Great sound. 🌈❤😁

Really enjoyed your video and ideas.
Thank you so much!
Super awsome guy she's going to Love it !! ☺
Thank you! It's been 3 years now and she still loves them! We both love to hear them outside our window.
@@TheBeardedWoodworker i really want to make a barbie house for my grand girls. I have a saw and have no idea how to use it 😮. I got a few pallets? Should i maybe use some cedar?
That’s the best sounding one I’ve heard
Thanks!
Lovely sound!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations 👏🎉
Thank you so much!
Wonderful boss! From INDIA
Thank you all the way to India!
Great job brother.
Awesome, thanks! They sound so great!
Sounds much better than I expected
Right!? I was really surprised myself on the fence posts!
The Bearded Woodworker to think I paid $150 for one sounds like that
D'oh! Yeah, kinda why I decided to make one because I wouldn't be able to do that!
Good job dude!
Thank you! Listen to them outside my window now.
Love this!
Thank you!
Beautiful
Have a heart, folks. If you live in the country, you can build these things a large as you like. But if your neighbor's bedroom window is only a few yards away, keep them small. I wrap a bungee around mine when I retire for the night or when I go away.
That's a great idea. I live in a rural community at the coast and I have some distance between our neighbors. 🙂
Great video!!!!!
Thanks! I had some Mic issues, but I recovered with music.
Just wow!
Excelent Sound!
Thank you. It's been over a year and we are still enjoying the sound outside our window.
Thank you for sharing!
I love it brother very nice project and good idea later :)
Thank you! I love the sound it makes. I had to move it over by the front window.
Cool good job brother :)
Beautiful....!!!
Thank you!
Nice work ... Love the tone ... Big rhodies ...
Thanks James!....and yes, the Rhodies on are property are huge! We have several, and then a few smaller pruned ones too.🙂
Wonderful 😊
The shortest distance between good neighbors and being someone who is hated by the neighborhood is a wind-chime
We don't really have any neighbors near us here at the beach, so I'm not too worried. 🙂 The house across the street has been vacant for quite some time, and it's in the back of our home.
