My wife likes chimes so I designed/built this for her...an early Christmas present. I used walnut rubbed with 50/50 turpentine and boiled linseed oil and 47 old silver plated spoons that I flattened with a hammer and wire-wheeled. It's pretty noisy!

I came up with another "brilliant" idea for more chimes last night and ordered 10 aluminum tuning forks that cover an entire octave. I'll have to come up with a design to hold them all in a circle and make a round clapper but I ordered this grandfather clock pendulum to use as a wind catcher. I'll hang it in front of one of the windows in the music room. Peggy should be treated to some really irritating dischords when the wind blows.

So are you trying to keep her happy or irritate her?
