lol @ junkman still messing with that 1000 gal tank huh! guess you didn't look inside using that MATCH idea I came up with /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
my old boss has a few SINGLE gongers made with OLD tanks CO/OX welding supply types. he cut them down in our saw. welded up tripod, and has a big wood gong handle/hammer. like in the old KUNG FU movies pretty good deep sound. a bit too loud if you are CLOSE though...
Personally ANY wind chimes BUG me at night I hear them and want to start LISTENING to them which makes my insomnia even WORSE as the brain sometimes just won't let the rest of me rest... no wonder som many inventors keep notebooks by the bed side. and song wrighters keep recorders at the ready too... I come up with soem good ones at night, just never remember to right em down and forget HOW i figured out the problem at 3 am 1/2 asleep...

OH Nice MAIL BOX: but don't forget if someone HITS it and are hurt you can be held liable for damage to THEM and to their car. I belive if you look there are rulles and regulations regarding ANYTHING placed along side the road and MAILBOXs have their OWN section. not sure if this is ONLY in OHIO or every where? we got a nasty letter from the mail man back when we used a 10" hunk of sch 40 pipe and welded it all up & painted looked REAL nice untill the note arrived. it had attached the nice photo copy of the section of law/oradance. seems to me it shouldn't be but it was pretty clear. neibor down street placed his similar plastic box over a 6" steel concrete filled pipe which he placed in a 12" dia concrete filled 4' deep hole. (there was some vandals destroying boxes.) he said at about 3 am he heard a terriable crash, looked out to see a Jeep on its side, with a front mounted snow blade destroyed. and down the road was about 10+ run over boxes. seems they declined to file charges aginst HIM for the post because after the accident they said he was off the road by just enough to be safe by the law, the KIDs one of which was hurt attempted to sue but was tossed out. this was back in the 70's in todays court I'm sure HE would have been in jail and loosing his property from legal fees... while the kids would have been let go. he still lives there and still has his box back off the road (set about 6' back so mail man is off road when stopped.) but it nolonger is INDESTRUCTABLE as that one was...
anyhow just wanted to SAY that, not sure if you're area has similar laws or it is national thing>???
