Now we are seven

Picturenew second of the eight in place
Augmented today with a bargain bell found on table top sale. Miraculously the bell tunes to become the new second of the eight. The clapper has a new counterweight cast and awaits assembly. Now I need to find a top F sharp to complete the octave.

Made a full set of ropes today for every bell pit. Look good and work well and the kids have even done some testing.

Manufactured the first rope to test properly and now it is fitted looks the part nicely. The thick rope works well as the sally and the joining is managed using the heat from a grill!

PictureNew rope test jointed
Had an experiment tonight with the nylon rope attempting quite successfully to join the sally rope and the normal thin bell rope. So now the principle is proved the work can begin properly to make one up to test it.
