Many people find that wind chimes bring an exotic feel to outdoor environments.
G Brad Staggs, host of DIY's Repair and Remodeling , shows how to make a set of homemade wind chimes from wood scraps, fishing line and ordinary copper pipe. Vary the lengths of the individual pieces so that the chimes will create a range of sonic tones. The longer pieces make deeper tones when struck. Create a wooden jig to hold the pipes steady for drilling. Cut as many pieces as the number of pipes you'll be using.
