Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I make a small bell out of pixari. Unfortunately I don't know it's name in English. It's a really hard yellow wood.
I begun by turning the piece true on the lathe.
I like to clean the end grain with a bowl gouge.
Then I drilled an entry hole and started hollowing the end grain with my hook tool. It’s a similar process to making a goblet.
Once I finished with the bell I turned the handle.
I cut the bell off and buffed it on the buffing wheel using carnauba wax.
I then used a skew to turn a small tongue for the bell.
I then connected the bell with the tongue and my little bell was ready.
It does not have the resonance of a metal bell but it works really nicely.
But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
