Ringing a bell up without checking the handstroke sooner is risky but if practiced correctly can be done smoothly. I personally don’t do it as I don’t want the bell to go over the point of balance but I’m sure the ringers there are very experienced.
ive always found the heavier bells go up more efficiently if you check the handstroke later when the bell is about 3/4 of way up, allows for more pulling power, smaller bells tho good idea to check a bit earlier as they go up faster :)
trebles are mears and stainbank 3 is robert catlin 4 is wokingham foundry 5th and 7th are henry knight 6 is roger landen 8 is william tosier 9th and tenor 26-1-5cwts john taylor bellfounders
At that time, I also went to church in the United States, the bell design was very strange in Vietnam, no church designed such a bell, the bell system in the United States, I remember there would be heavy-duty iron bars, big bell wheel. On the right is a wooden bar on the bell hanger, because the pendulum hits the bell body, the pendulum is not balanced . And most bells always pull the string
Great Tom sure is a fine bell! Little tip - Try to keep your hands together on the rope when ringing up. That way you can get more power through the rope to ring it up! You and your Dad or Steeple keeper may want to have a look at the 8ths stay... At 5:18 it looks bent towards the handstoke side. It may just be the camera angle and the fisheye effect of the lens, but just double check that it isn't broken or cracked in the headstock!
the heaviest bell to be made in my year ('99 !)
These bells are beautiful! The tenor has a good sound
Well Done! Lovely Bells, the tenor is brilliant :)
Thanks! Yeah the Tenor does sound nice
amazing bells they sound amazing
Yeah they are pretty decent sounding
Hello @@ringerjames2446merry Christmas and a happy new year 2024
@adamcrane3571 thankyou merry Christmas to you too :)
What you can do is pull the rope right to the floor to get more power, that's how I rang up our tennor bell in 12 strokes
Thanks for the tip! I'll try remember that next time

Nice that's correct
thought the tenor was the smallest bell, when ringers come in the person that yells “tenor going… gone!” is usually on the smallest bell
I think you'll find they usually say "treble's going..... gone". The treble is the smallest bell. The tenor is the biggest bell.

Wow that sounds cool. I must look into that!

Thankyou!
We will check the stay tomorrow
The stay is fine. I think it's the angle of the camera

Hello
Hi
Hi what are the weights?
do you not ring at worthing anymore?
No, moved about over a year ago now.
@@ringerjames2446 I'll be at Whitchurch for the AGM later in the year
@@RingerLuca651 Nice!
Tenors in c# but sounds like d
Yeah you're right I've noticed it sounds more like D than C#
On doves guide it says db
Db
@@Owentheringer2024_yt i think c# and Db are the same but not sure
@@ringerjames2446 they are cause c# is before d and d is infrobt on c# so they are the same
