DIY Cylinder Tank Bell / Wind Chime and Forged Hanger

[@MosesJonson]

I've got such a crush on this guy. Nice chime too!

[@ShalohaCreations]

Wow 😊😊😁

[@hollybyars5692]

Absolutely awesome design. I love it.

[@kurt1618]

Nice work. If you like a different sound quality you can put a rubber O-ring around the wooden ball where it contacts the tank. You get a warmer ringing sound to the chime.

[@ShalohaCreations]

Good idea 👍 Thanks. I made a leather wrapped one once for a guy for the same purpose.

[@StonesAndSand]

Do it like you oughter, add the acid to the water. You did it right, man!

[@ShalohaCreations]

Learned that in high school chemistry class.. probably the only thing I learned I. That class .. …😜haha

[@rachellarsen939]

Wow you have a awesome shop, there is so much stuff you can make in there. Nice job!

[@ShalohaCreations]

Thanks Rachel Larsen 🤙

[@rondelby2482]

I will be casting a 20 inch wide chapel bell in back yard of cast aluminum in october. I have an old cracked bell to use as a pattern.

[@ShalohaCreations]

Sounds like a fun project 🤙

[@zherndon]

Looking good!

[@ShalohaCreations]

Zac Herndon Thank you Zac🤙

[@mikemonahan4836]

Grate video and quality! My mother got me a wind chime similar to that the sound is amazing.

[@ShalohaCreations]

Mike Monahan Thank you 🙏 I’ll try and keep the videos coming 🤙

[@jasdeepsinghfaridkot1588]

awesome build...keep up the good work mate

[@ShalohaCreations]

Thank you Jasdeep🙏🤙

Joshua, I just ran across you and your videos today. This is the first and only one i have watched so far. Very nicely done. I am curious about the ratio of ingredients for your rust solution.

[@ShalohaCreations]

@@jeffclark3932 Thanks Jefclark3933. I usually do a 1:1 or 2:1 vinegar to peroxide. I squirt a little soap in the mix to help hold it on the metal and a bit of salt.. the ratio doesn’t have to be precise. I’ve mixed it a variety of ratios and it always seems to work just fine as long as the metal is clean. 🤙

[@craigchingren-hamann9700]

These are amazing. You should sell these. I imagine there is a plethora of scooba tanks where you're located. Pretty hard to findin Nebraska.

[@ShalohaCreations]

Thanks Craig🙏.. I do sell these ;) I’m always checking local listings for tanks. The steel ones are harder to come by than the aluminum ones, but I scoop them up when I can.👍 Ive made them from oxygen and co2 tanks as well, I’m sure there are some of those in your area ;)

[@sdfsdvassilev3798]

I have 7 tanks in Los Angeles and no one to take them

[@TheSoonToBeTrucker]

It will ring better if you cut a line up the flat sides of the tank as well starting at the higher inside curves.

[@ShalohaCreations]

Thanks Thatamg_guy.. I’ve seen this done, I’ll have to give it a try 🤙

Robert Kaiser I had too many interests to settle on one discipline. I’m a glutton for information and learning everything I can about things I want to do or learn how to do. I lean more towards what most would term a “Maker”.

[@mattthompson9480]

Wow With all the right tools and the skills you have you should be able to sell these wind bells for a pretty penny. Very skilled amazing to watch you work with your hands. Do you have your own shop? Or do you sell online? You must be a fabricator or a welder by trade

[@ShalohaCreations]

Thanks Matt.. I am blessed to have my own shop. I do fabricate and make these bells on occasion and sell them on Etsy. I haven’t posted much there recently as I am looking for another less expensive way to sell my products. 👍

[@justbob4731]

Amazing!. Thanks !

[@ShalohaCreations]

Thanks Bob🤙

[@justbob4731]

@@ShalohaCreations Very welcome !

[@djbachelor]

I guess this was a steel tank; but I have a couple of old aluminum ones... How does the timbre compare? :)

[@ShalohaCreations]

This was a steel tank but aluminum ones have good sound as well 👍

[@mohammedidrees6737]

Good work

[@ShalohaCreations]

mohammed Idrees Thank You 🤙

[@tedhicks5431]

How about a 30 lbs refrigerant jug i have plenty

[@ShalohaCreations]

Never done it.. should give it a try :) 🤙

[@cactusladysouth1000]

I would like to know if it will take a gale wind to move the metal ball against the bell?

[@ShalohaCreations]

Hi CactusLadySouth.. It’s more of a manual use bell than a wind chime. Though if I made a longer and wider tail off the clapper it would probably work as a wind style bell. 👍

[@cactusladysouth1000]

@@ShalohaCreations Do you have a formula for length of cord and size of tail for wind chimes to work in lower wind areas?

[@ShalohaCreations]

I don’t.. I only make these bells on occasion. Sorry

[@stripeddman1]

good job

[@ShalohaCreations]

Thank you 🙏🤙

[@mpcinlv]

Wrap you balls in leather ... eliminates the clang and gives you a deeper sound.

[@ShalohaCreations]

I got a comment notification on my phone.. the only portion of the comment it showed was “ Wrap your balls in leather” .. naturally I had to go see what it said😅😂😂.. haha Thanks for the advice, I’ll have to give it a try. 🙏🤙

[@Displacement-destroyer]

Love the video only issue I had is it would have been nice to see you forge that islet like you did to hanger rather than putting a purchased piece in there otherwise great video awesome tutorial thanks

[@ShalohaCreations]

Shane Ferrier Thanks .. I agree.. I have another idea for a bell video I plan on making that will involve a lot more forging. Stay tuned;)

[@mistermissing1]

Very Nice Joshua, I would be great to have your shop and tools. Would a cutting torch be a substitute for a plasma cutter? Thanks

[@ShalohaCreations]

Curt Obermeyer Hi Curt, a cutting torch would work just fine for steel tanks. I’ve even seen guys use a grinder with cutting wheel. Some tanks are aluminum so a plasma cutter is ideal for those...

[@danielmurzellotheunknownma7481]

Hello👋🙋‍♂️ there.. Amazing and very interesting project.. So well explained.. Not easy.. But beautiful work.. Do keep posting new ideas💡💡💡 Warm regards and best👍💯 wishes✨✨✨ The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨‍🏭

[@ShalohaCreations]

Thank you UnknownManCub🙏🤙 I have a second video on making a bell. It’s not as instructional as the first but you can see that I did things a little different in that one. As I got more comfortable making bells, the process was modified and made easier and quicker. Maybe I’ll do a tutorial on it one day.

[@danielmurzellotheunknownma7481]

@@ShalohaCreations ohh great.. Will surly check it out.. Thanks 👍

[@elizabethclark4892]

Beautiful work. How much do you sell them for and how do i order them?

[@ShalohaCreations]

Thank you Elizabeth 🙏 .. You can contact me at [e-mail] and I can give you all the information you need. Thanks

[@patriciamammarelli3911]

Love the design. Can I order one from you pls ?

[@ShalohaCreations]

Thank you! Unfortunately this was a build I did for my own home. I modified mine from the plans on the attached site. I believe they may be able to get you in contact with a qualified contractor in your area.www.brickwoodovens.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrqv-9YXY7AIVhT6tBh0wUQQSEAAYASAAEgK9fPD_BwE

[@SuperSpecialty]

Very good procedure, but you used up the allotted number of ahs (2). I did subscribe, though.

[@ShalohaCreations]

Thanks for subscribing 🤙. What what is ahs ?

[@CarleenChipps]

Do you sell these? I really enjoyed your video, on the down side I do not know anyone that could make me one of these, I love this!!!

[@ShalohaCreations]

Hi Carleen, Thanks you for watching my video👏 I do make these bells and sell them. I will put them on my Etsy account on occasion. I typically sell them for around $425 which includes shipping within California. May be more depending on shipping cost. Shaloha🤙

[@mantaszmenskis5619]
