I have personally cast about 20 or so bronze bells and also visited White Chapel Bell Foundry, this is a fantastic video and I hope that the art of casting bronze bells will live on for ever. Kids of today should learn these trades so that it does not get lost in time to come.
Very interesting. As a change ringer, I did not know this much about how the bells were made. At the church tower where I ring, there are eight bells. The eight bells were cast by Whitechapel bell foundry in 1955, and the bells are brilliant.
It is a little hard to understand the child in some points, but this lessens after the second time of watching.
What an AWESOME video. So nice to see the versatility of the people in London that it takes to make a bell Asian, Black and White.

I didn't have any trouble. I'm used to the tall vowels of the Brititsh. We should speak so.
