longevity Bell

by Blboise

The bell of course can just hang from a roof eve and doesn't need the stand. It's just a discarded small Oxygen bottle with bottom cut off, a 1/2" or maybe smaller pipe plug screwed into the top and a ring I bought. The finish is heated linseed oil with Japan dryer mixed in. Some line chain tacked first to the plug, 2 eye "screws" and a golf ball will ad a ringer. This one my grand daughter just bangs with the pieice of square tube.

Sorry it took so long to get back here. You mix the linseed oil about 5 to 1 with the Japan dryer, coat the bell, then fire it a weed burner. Watch the color closely, when it starts to bronze, back off and let it "cure" for a bit. Heat more for darker.
