Try using 1/4" plate glass and cut on bar with a width of about 1 1/2" - 2" and the length will be your starting point. Tune the first bar you make to the nearest note and build on from there. The width doesn't really matter when it's being tuned, the length is the important part. You can just leave the width of all the bars the same. The base of the bars can be made of wood or acrylic (for an all clear look). Usually there is a type of felt on the wood that the bars will rest on. Then some may put rubber of foam strips on each side of the bar to let it resonate more. Hope this helped.
