 FWIW, when I made bells, I made the clapper and piece that held it in and fullered around the holding stem part, then put the stem in from the open bell while the neck of the bell was hot and fullered the neck down into the stem fullered groove. made it a part of the bell that way, sometimes I forged the stem afterwards as a hanging device.
