I have a couple old AL80 6351 Alloy tanks that are good for nothing, people have suggested making a bell or other projects. But the tonal qualities of the AL make for a poor bell, it works but if looking for a nice bell sound it doesn't do it.
But I've always wanted to have a big wind chime that sounds like a buoy bell. That beautiful pure bell sound a buoy makes is very alluring to me, it calls me to the sea, I could listen to it all day! I've seen a couple times where people of taken an old piece of scrap metal and made a great buoy bell! I would love to make one, but I don't have a lot of metal lying around to do trial and error, if someone could post a simple plan along the lines of "get an old 68 Chevy Impala bumper cut it in half, it sounds like a buoy" or maybe post photos of buoy bells you have made it would be great!
