EDDIE,

After having a chat and a laugh with you , I went down and saw Ian and the bell, then he showed me the photos of the pump ,,, can see now how they were still at it til 0100

best, i get down to the lock up and sort out some decent and bigger lifting bags ....

nice to see you guys and the goodies today ....

Anyway, like i told you, when i've finished with my little project, I'll let ya know the SECRET LOCATION or of course the NUMBERS are available at a price.

only 4 ,,, thats only the ones you know off .... what this space , I might post some pictures on New Years Eve , to raise the total

[ANDY 64]

What do people use, to bring out the wording which is enscribed in a bell ?

reason i ask , that i have a a couple of brassy shiny things and one has two words wrote on it in 3/4 inch letters , which i want to blacken...
an ex shipwright told me this was done in the same black paint , that is used on iron cookers/stoves .... has anyone tried this ?


Also, those of you with the donger still in place ,,,, do you have someone local to do the bell rope ?
