Nice neat bracket and I bet the sound of that bell is a real attention getter. Very innovative!


Actually it's quite "mellow". The clapper was forged from 1 5/8" dia. truck axle then I cast a lead "jacket" around it and forged it to a somewhat oval shape for a softer strike. It's loud and sustained, but without a sharp "tinny" sound.
