  • Part 2 The action is steadier, without the rope coming on and off a pulley (this is more of an issue with double pulleys). It saves a hell of a lot of grubbing around on the workshop/belfry floors :-)

  • A number of reasons. The grooves in the wheels are a little shallow so I wanted to keep the ropes tighter to avoid slippage. The height of the ringing room was depicted by Duncan’s photography equipment which needs to pass underneath. This was taller than I would consider to be optimum, so we discussed the idea of ringing the bells off of removable staging, which would have put the ringers 18 to 20 ins higher, bringing the sallies into the pulleys. They actually handle very well as they are.

  • FANTASTIC... if I had one comment though it would be the difference in clappering between the front and back six.....

  • @anonmonen but you are listening them from one side - not underneath! We did some more tweeking after this was taken anyway.

  • eh dear the Whickies just cant turn downa challenge!!

  • Nice job, predictably! But why use the "overhead" pulley system when there was clearly no need to?

  • Brilliant, those front bells are little gems and a nice positive tenor as needed on all good rings of 12.

  • Very good! I want to play!
