The Bell

8/16/2017

2 Comments

 
 I rarely receive any comments on my blog post, except those mysterious posts from far off lands that I’ve written about previously.
I have had several comments on my posts about blacksmithing and writing.  Again, the comments aren’t in the comment section of the blog.  I receive them by gmail.  This is another of the 21st Century mysteries to me.
Anyway – I’ve received several requests for a picture of my forged bell.  I’ve fended off those requests because – in truth – it’s not much to look at.  I expect many will look at it and wonder.  How did you spend 6 hours making that?
Well, all the work is in forging the clapper inside the bell.  The bottom of the clapper extends only about ½” below the flared bottom of the bell.   The clapper is designed to be removable so that you can show your friends the intricate workings of the bell.  I can’t imagine any of my friends having the slightest interest.
What I can’t share with you is the sound.  For that you must visit me and I’ll let you ring the bell.  For those of you kind enough to request a picture, I’ve included two – a full shot of the chime and the bell and a close up of the bell.  (No I didn’t make the chime, it was purchased).

I'm sure it sounds delightful. Don't know that I could hear it from Spain though! Best wishes.

We invent many new styles for us because we know that here is some of the best style which we know but we never use. But this time i just use one of them and this was very good for me and also good for my work.
