Its friday again...been trying to utilize down time to work on small projects and at the same time work on hammer control and what to demo at our up coming NC ABANA metting at Oak Hill Iron(home of BIG BLU)..for some reason I've been focussing on the Bell..This one started with 3/4 x 2 inch flat 26 inches long and the rest of the parts started with 1 1/4 round..I may tweek the proportions a bit next saturday. but I think this may make a pretty entertaining demo..jsut thought i'd share..hope to see some of you folks next saturday.

saintjohn...works kind of like a tuning fork.after I form the cup in the bell I heat it up to yellow and quench it to put it under tension. that seem to help with the sound.

ive never paid bells a awful lot of attention but i am starting to - i love your bell oscar it looks like it has shoulders, and also apprentice man the bell you shown us looks like a person as well to me! like the sides are clothes! i love them both, never seen bells like that before so thanks for that! i reckon i might try and make a bell...
