    Nearly ready to get a bit rusty. If anyone's got a dozen tin/brass bells about 12mm ish in diameter lying around not doing anything, would you let me know? I'm sure I've seen the ones I want in the past but I've looked from pet shops to ebay without seeing them, except for some in China

    I thought of using an up-turned bell to jam onto the stem:

    Preferably plain surface but I could possibly grind off any eyelets or embelishments.

    Dunno, maybe I just make 'the bell shape in wood, drill a hole for the stem to pass through and glue it all up

    Achully, that's why I'm so impressed with AndyMacs' skills although I don't think he's a spinny guy but he can bash the daylights out of metal to make something of it, I always wanted farm skills
