More time inside the bell shop

So, here is a little more insight into bell making.

                                                                   Grinding!

                                                               Close up.

                                                    The finished product.

Here are sails after being cut and now ready for the "patina" treatment to start.

 

So, today 10 boxes went out on the UPS truck and Philip met a customer in Boerne to deliver one more. We are rolling for Christmas, taking orders by phone and through the website. We have printed and mailed out the last of the holiday postcards. We are keeping up with your orders and STILL getting to keep up with those all important addictive TV dramas - Homeland, Dexter, Boardwalk Empire and yes, Glee.

 

And, one final note.... while Philip has mastered the creation of your bells, this Thanksgiving holiday he spent one evening putting together a dollhouse for our only granddaughter's Christmas (thanks to Aunt Jenny and Uncle Michael). This was not as easy as one might think!
