Swinging Bell Repair at Mulberry Street Methodist

/in /by

get-attachment

Today we are in Macon, Georgia at the Mulberry Street Methodist Church. We are here to do some work on a broken swinging bell that is over 100 years old.

 

We will go up in the bell tower, remove all of the moving hardware, have some new head bolts machined, grind and paint all of the old working hardware, and go back in a few weeks to put it all back together. The biggest challenge will be lowering the large bell down to the floor after removing the bell hardware. To accomplish this, we will build up from the floor with pressure treated wood, and lower the giant bell down to it.

Shelton State Clock Tower

Today we are working at beautiful Shelton State in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We are doing some work on their beautiful clock and bell tower. Today we will be going up and pressure washing the entire bell and clock tower, and re-painting their bell frame.

 

We will start by cleaning the entire bell tower, then going through and sanding everything down, and finally painting the bell frame.
