Recycled Bell from Old Tanks

[@Mail4marc]

Well done! I would have rooted around for some old metal chain instead of the hardware store lamp chain. Thanks for the upload!

[@SimonSaysDIY]

Thanks! 😊

hank you for this great idea. I have an almost empty nitrogen tank and it be like this project you just did. Thanks.

[@SimonSaysDIY]

Glad it was helpful! Good luck on making yours :)

good work

What type of wheel are you using on your grinder to finish the surface?

[@SimonSaysDIY]

It’s called a flap disk. It’s made to quickly sand down surfaces. I have attach a link to the one I used. www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-Zirconia-4-5-in-36-Grit-Flap-Disc/1207167

@@SimonSaysDIY thank you so much for taking the time to respond 🙏

[@julielehman8883]

Very nice! Do you sell them?

[@donhall960]

how did you choose the length ? and why did you cut the valve instead of unscrewing it ?

[@user-em6ie2be7x]

Love the background music, What is that song? 🎵

[@taoshum]

If you cut vertical slots into the bell from the bottom to the point where it starts to neck down, you'll get a much deeper/pleasant sound.

Thanks! 😁

Would love to see an example of this technique? Or at least how the sound differs

[@elkrice]

You really need a drop cut saw

let it ring longer. your clapper obstructs the vibration

This is very attractive but your first instruction should be with regard to the health and safety of this potentially toxic, dangerous and even fatal endeavor. Even if cylinders are empty, dependent on the chemical, exposure to as well as heating the cylinder could have deadly effects. Compressed gases can expose users to both short and long term chemical and physical hazards. Gases contained within cylinders can be toxic, flammable, oxidizing, corrosive, inert, or a combination of these hazards. Because the pressurized chemical is released in gaseous form, a leak from the cylinder, or chemical trapped in the neck near the regulator, or any part of the system used to deliver the gas can quickly contaminate a large area. Therefore, it is necessary to be familiar with the chemical hazards of the gas and possibility of asphyxiation. In addition to the chemical hazards, there are hazards from the gas pressure and the physical weight of the cylinder. The cylinder can itself become a dangerous propelled object if it is damaged, cut or broken. Appropriate care in the handling and storage of compressed gas cylinders is essential even if it is labeled non toxic. The toxic effects of stored gases can also be impacted by heating, even if they are labeled non-toxic, heat or exposure to oxygen can change that. Even though a tank should only be refilled with the same gas it is not guaranteed once it is discarded, especially if the tank is very old. Please encourage your viewers to be extremely cautious, do their research as to what tanks could potentially be used, and to be experts in their handyperson capabilities before modifying chemical cylinders. Also, they should have a separate, professional space to attempt this. Many garage and house fires and explosions are a result of improperly stored and modified chemical tanks. I really love this idea but it 100% requires a hazard warning. Please and thank you.

I was going to go there but your on it good job! Bell may not be the only thing ringing!

[@mayageorge1847]

@@G.S.W.SewmesomeMusic I really do love it

[@SimonSaysDIY]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the incite. Thankfully I checked and this particular tank was only used for CO2 which is not flammable and is relatively safe. I drained all of the pressure outside of the building and left the valve open while cutting to relieve any additional pressure from the tank heating up. I will add to the description of the video mentioning the caution and research needed to attempt this project! Thanks again! :)
