Firemen's bell

Post by Dan Sawatzky »

Occasionally we are asked to do unusual projects in our shop. It makes the job very interesting. Our city firemen have a ceremony each year in which they ring a bell to honor deceased firemen. They had a bell but needed a permanent stand. They asked me to CNC the pieces they needed to create one and brought me a sketch of the design they had in mind. Unfortunately the crest was behind the bell. I suggested a redesign using 30 lb Precision Board with a welded steel frame imbedded. They accepted my design and we finished the project today. It stands 34" tall.
