Squid Chime

Wind chimes are beautiful and are very pleasant to listen to. Now you can make a Squid Chime!! It took only a few hours (of course I had to take pictures though!) and costs about $10.
Though it is made from forks and spoons, it still has a beautiful tone. It's fun to make too!

Step 1 Gather Materials

You will be needing:

• Tin soup can
• Two Forks
• Two Spoons
• Washers or Large buttons
• Sheet Metal (I didn't have enough so I just used card-board rapped with foil)
• Two Twist-ties
• Medium-sized Nail (small enough to fit inside the can)
• Fish line

You will be needing the following tools:

• Larger Nail (To poke the holes with)
• Hammer
• Scissors
• Metal saw
• Glue Gun
• Vice

A very cool and contemporary looking wind chime, it might last longer than my bamboo ones and, its something to do with old cutlery.

You might be expecting a $415.35 bill if what it I have interpreted competition T&Cs correctly! But I'm not sure about that.

Wait what?

There has been a bit of confusion with the line:
"All federal, state, and local taxes on prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. No purchases are necessary; void where prohibited by law." In the official rules.

Although there has been no official answer lots of people think that you may have to pay VAT on their winnings!

Your VAT is 6.5% (I think, according to Wikipedia) so $414.35 is 6.5% of the cost of the prize for the Kinetic Sculpture Contest.
As I say though, this has not been confirmed, it might just be on shipping or something like that. The wording is confusing.

Ah! I've been wondering about that. But still, that's a big discount and if you want the prize.... I suppose it's worth it. =I

Nice, I like the idea of using utensils in a wind chime.
