- I'm fixing my wife's wind chimes when the only thing remaining of them is the chimes themselves. All parts are reclaimed wood. Even the string is recycled.

Thank you for sharing your craftsmanship. My husband passed away 3 months ago and it was hard looking at your video because I remembered him repairing our wind chimes. He was a master craftsman and very much old school. He is now building wind chimes for the Lord in heaven. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and sharing. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I live in Puerto Rico my home faces the Caribbean Sea. I made a few and the breeze from the ocean is always hitting the sail and the harmony is to die for. I get pelicans and even seagulls that they stare at the wind chimes. It is just beautiful. Thank for uploading the video.
I have three wind chimes I have to restring...still in miscellaneous boxes after moving four years ago. Watching your video was simply mesmerizing...what magnificent craftsmanship and how wonderful to have all the tools! My chimes just require restringing, but I will certainly buff them carefully and oil the wood now...
I'm nowhere close to being a woodworker. Your video is excellent and I enjoyed watching you work. Your wife owes you big time! Superb job!
That turned out beautiful. It is funny to see how much woodworkers do things alike. My husband has been a carpenter, woodworker, cabinetmaker for about 37 years now. (but his everyday job is now an engineer). He can make anything from wood as I'm sure you can. He has done some amazing pieces of wood art (pulpits, any kind of cabinets, armoires, wall units, rocking horses, etc), but never has he made me a windchime. Well, now I'm going to ask him to make me one. Thank you, this turned out beautiful.
Thank you for posting this. Very instructional since my wind chime was just found with one tube lying on the ground. I have sent it out once for repair in the past (years ago) but then it had totally broken apart. Note: it is a spiral wind chime, i.e. no clanger. It was a gift from my brother years ago!
Thank you Honey for fixing my wind chimes! I love them again! This was an important fix for me, these were my grandma and grandpa's wind chimes. Love the "H" womble, too!
Dotty, your husband did a great job, ....now I'm going to have my hubby do me one.
Wow, nice work! Great to see someone who has money, time and talent and put it to good use. That is inspirational! Thank you for sharing.
Nice shop gear, a you did a great job. Thanks for sharing. I hope your wife appreciated it!
Yes, thank you
So beautiful to watch a true craftsman
What an act of love!! Very nice work.
I love how you built the cap. I had a set too that fell apart. They were 30 years old. Wish i knew where they were I would commission you to fix them. Nice job!
The H on the wind catcher is the most creative piece that I've have seen hand crafted in a very long time. I'd like to borrow it, my last name is Hatcher so no changes will be needed, lol.
An over the top repair! Excellent!
Great work! BTW the clanger is called a clapper and the womble is called the sail. I love that something can be repaired and re-used rather than thrown in the rubbish. You put in a lot of effort and I imagine your wife was very pleased.
She did. Thanks for helping with the nomenclature. I was making it up as I went along.
Amazing work - like the professionalism!
Thanks, Vic
Awesome, another one of those channels where they just conveniently have a lathe in their back pocket. Everybody on CZcams has a lathe .
And a massive work shop.
And plenty of cash.
Everyone should have a lathe. 🤗
Pretty cool and they sound great!
Great work!
Nice video, Nice equipment.
this is beautiful workmanship!
Thank you, Mona.
I have to learn how to use a lathe. Great job
The glass piece that moves with the wind, I found broken all over, gotta fix mine😢
Is it possible to tune the fundamental and the partials? Is there any way I can hear only the fundamental? I hope you can help me!
Hi, thanks so much for this. Main thing I wanted to know was how to threat the twine through the pipes. Seems you did this by having a needle attached to the twine, is that correct? Thank you. Barbara
Wife must be very pleased they look beautiful! I love your videos keep up the good job. By the way happy birthday!
Thanks, Sue. She seems pretty happy with them.
The wife is very pleased! Thank Sue!
Gorgeous workmanship! How are they holding up almost 3 years later? The string, in particular, is always a tricky mix in my mind, as that's the first thing to wear away.
Quite possibly my favorite part: at 07m:20s, the smiley face eraser on the pencil. #easilyamused
Seriously though: BEST video yet!
Love this great video!! :)
Thank you!
Who has tools like that? Didn't really explain how to string. Do you go from one to the next? Do you string them all ? Very complicated for the average person that does not have all those fancy tools.
It's called a windsail that catches wind at the bottom of windchime
You didn’t show people how to string it. So what was your video for
Hi
How are you?
Its a long time you post this video
Hope y still healty :))
You know how to fix a buzzing tube?
Have 65 inch windchime
Somethimes when the clapper hit the tube , he make a buzzing noise , i think from the string
Great video and beautiful craftsmanship!! What type of string did you use?
Thank you! I believe the string was salvaged from a broken patio umbrella. It was in my string and rope stash.
Can it play 'Smoke On The Water'?
Amazing stuff! But if I had to get all these machines, then the training cost to skillfully use them. I wonder how many beautiful new chimes i could buy for the same amount :)
ah, a clanger caper....
My choice is Aoglenic wind chime
So now all I have to do is buy allot of expensive equipment and I'm good to go.
That was amazing can.u mail me some parts for mine lol
For people watching this, don’t make your wind sail so heavy, it’s supposed to catch wind, that is why all sails are light with lots of surface...is supposed to move around freely so that it moves the striker he made his out of three layers of wood it would’ve been best to make it out of a one layer of wood and make it with more surface area that was a poor design, that was more like a weight. The striker should also hit the bells in the bottom third of the bell not in the center for maximum sustained
This time I'll use inplix instructions to make it by myself.
Seems like a lot of un-neccessary work and expense. If I have to buy a Lathe, Table Saw, Scroll Saw, and . . . . . . this will have cost me several thousand dollars ( to repair / re-build a $150 dollar wind chime)
Hlo
will you do mine?please?ill be your best friend
