Hello ​@@ringerjames2446merry Christmas and a happy new year 2024

[@ringerjames2446]

@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

[@ringerjames2446]

Thanks for the tip! I'll try remember that next time

[@MinecraftStadiumBuilder2134]

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.

[@fredmills368]

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 :)

[@MinecraftStadiumBuilder2134]

Hi

[@quest2kid]

I have to say something, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE. YOU HAVE STIRRED THE HERD OF WALKERS. (TWD: Saints and sinners reference)

[@memeroshi_2.0.0.4.]

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

[@ringerjames2446]

Wow that sounds cool. I must look into that!

[@pigtasticgaming]

Lovely bells 👍 we have 8 in ourlocal tower :)

[@ringerjames2446]

Nice

[@christianomarsh9520]

We have to bells like the 1 and 2in st francis xavier melaka

[@noooo_safechat2589]

thought the tenor was the smallest bell, when ringers come in the person that yells “tenor going… gone!” is usually on the smallest bell

[@paulrampton9861]

I think you'll find they usually say "treble's going..... gone". The treble is the smallest bell. The tenor is the biggest bell.

[@BellringerBen]

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!

[@ringerjames2446]

Thankyou!

[@ringerjames2446]

We will check the stay tomorrow

[@ringerjames2446]

The stay is fine. I think it's the angle of the camera

[@BellringerBen]
