Last night's efforts were such that the 3rd bell is now hanging properly on its bearings, and the lifting gear has been removed. The bed plates just need a couple more screws in them before the bell can be swing up.
Here is the 3rd bell in situ.
This is the view across to bells 5 and 6. It's looking much more like a belfry now!
There's very little bell work to do now, just put the pulleys, stays, and sliders on the 2nd and 3rd.
The try-out won't be too far in the future.....
....but there are still lots of other jobs to do, such as sound control and getting the clappering set up with an electronic timing meter which I just happen to make and sell!
