Pixies Place Forums - View Single Post - ****My Hubby Has Wood****

PF.....Originally, hubby wanted an all metal clapper because wood just dulled the effect of the sound on the copper. When he couldn't find just the right piece....he opted for the wood with the metal buttons (which he found in some of Pop's collection of what-nots that he collected over the years.....and I mean he passed on a collection!!!). So now we have the best of both worlds (in sound) as the clapper will rotate and the chimes will hit either the wood or the metal...........and we've heard both and I wanted wood and he wanted metal! But then.....I always want wood! LOL! The pipes are left over from a plumbing job we did earlier this summer...and are 1/4". Sorry they look silver, but I had to lighten the pics because it is very overcast today and the lighting in the barn sucked! Did I ever tell you how well he sweats............................................ ......pipe??????? Yuck, yuck! And PF? He never chats on this forum.......cept for the occasional cooing at me.......but he watches and tells me what to type for him. (Note to self: X-mas present for hubby? Typing lessons!!!)

Lilith.......He sure does know how to work his pipe! Er....um....and he hangs a pretty nice chime too! As to cranking some out.....I've been trying to convince him to make plenty of everything he's made......bird houses, trellis's.....etc.......but he just says.....I like making them and giving them away........I don't think I could sell them! To which I reply......"????????????????????"!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! I gotta get a pic of the two sided bird house with brass corners he made me.........oh.....and the one with the front porch and all the "gingerbread" type decoration on it too. You might have seen that one on the side of my barn in a pic or two...but I never really took a close-up. If you want a chime.....I'm sure he'd love to make one for you.....and all you'd have to do is gimme a P.O box to mail it too....because I know you value your anonymity!
