recipe for giant windchimes
ingredients
- sheet of 1/2" to 3/4" plywood (at least 4' by 4')
- a handful of screw-eyes with fitting washers, nuts, and wingnuts
- a spool of heavy picture hanging wire
- objects that will be struck/objects that will strike
- some rope or chain for suspension
directions
- cut plywood into a circle (or other shape if you prefer)
- drill 3 holes to fit heavy duty screw eyes at 120 degree intervals for hanging. these should be several inches in from the edge
- drill holes for screw eyes in places where you want to hang stuff along the perimeter as well as one in the center for the clapper
- insert screw eyes with washers and nuts on the side with hangers, washers and wingnuts on other side, use a reasonable amount of torque on the wingnuts so nothing falls but not so much that it breaks the wood
- hang stuff with the picture hanging wire
- suspend with rope or chain from the 3 heavy duty eyes... use a long rope that can be passed up to a person that has climbed up to the place where the chimes should be suspended
