Let's Get Started
To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.
Step 1
Begin this project by drilling holes in an aluminum pie pan to create the primary support structure for your wind chime. Mark points on the pie pan where you would like each individual chime to eventually hang from. We chose to place five evenly spaced points along the outside brim of our pie pan and three on the interior base approximately 1/2" from its perimeter. With your pie pan clamped, drill through the marked points using your Dremel 4200 rotary tool and 150 Drill Bit accessory. We recommend setting the tool speed to 15 when completing this step. Mark a point at the center of the pie pan and plunge through it using a drill and 1/2" drill bit. In Step 5 we will pull a rope through this hole and use it to hang the wind chime upon its completion.
Step 2
Clamp your spoon by the end of its stem so that the majority of its stem and oval tip are exposed. Mount the EZ456 Metal Cutting Wheel accessory onto your 4200 tool. With the tool set at speed setting 30, make a horizontal cut into the front edge of the oval spoon tip to create a mouth for the fish. Then using the same tool and accessory make two cuts into the stem of the spoon to create a tail. Now we will create an eye hole and functional hanging hole for the fish chime. With your spoon clamped, drill a hole for an eye beside the mouth cut made earlier and a hanging hole close to where the tip of the spoon meets its stem. Use the 4200 tool at speed setting 15 with the 1/8'' accessory to accomplish this.
