Introduction
These wind chimes are intended to be quick, easy and attractive. Simple design and shapes are used, so that very simple wood and metal drilling, filing and cutting are required. Please ensure you feel comfortable with the aforementioned skills prior to proceeding. Most of the materials above are followed by the words "or comparable", most of the components are interchangeable with other materials as long as the same size and type are used. Conduit is cheap and available from local hardware stores but if galvanized metal is not your favorite look try copper tubing. The same can be said of the brass chain and hardware if you would prefer silver colored steel, by all means substitute them, along with whatever wood and stain or paint choices you would like. All the materials listed should be available from most hardware stores. Assembled wind chimes are approx. 32" in length. I hope you enjoy these wind chimes.
