English Version, Narration translated from German. Bronze church bells in Germany are made using traditional and highly skilled craftsmanship techniques, many of which have been refined over centuries. The process involves several meticulous steps, often performed by specialized bell foundries. 🔔 1. Design and Tuning Calculations Purpose: Before casting begins, the size, shape, and musical pitch of the bell are carefully calculated. Tuning: The desired tone (usually harmonically tuned to a specific key or chord) influences the bell’s profile and thickness. 🏗️ 2. Making the Mold This is the most time-consuming and traditional step. False Bell (Wax or Loam Layer) A wax or loam “false bell” is shaped over the core, matching the bell’s outer profile. Inscriptions, decorations, and reliefs (e.g. religious symbols or patron saints) are added here. 🔥 3. Bronze Casting Traditional bronze alloy: ~78% copper, 22% tin. The molten bronze is poured into the mold (often at ~1,100°C / 2,012°F). The bell is left to cool and solidify—this can take several days, depending on the size. 🪓 4. Breaking the Mold Once the metal cools, the outer clay mold is carefully broken open. The raw bell is revealed and cleaned of residue. 🛠️ 5. Finishing and Tuning The bell is polished and any imperfections are ground off. It is tuned by carefully removing metal from specific inner parts. Bell tuning is a high-art process done by ear and precision tools. 🏰 6. Installation and Blessing The bell is mounted in a wooden or steel yoke and transported to the church. Many churches hold a blessing ceremony before hoisting the bell into the tower. For educational purposes. Original video in German: • Glockengiessen. Teil 2: Der Guß

208,318 views Feb 9, 2026 #ChurchBells #soundridemusic #BeforeElectricity Before Electricity – Part 1 takes us inside a 400-year-old bell foundry in Germany, where traditional bell making is still carried out entirely by hand. 🔔 This chapter focuses on the first and most critical stage of bell founding: designing the acoustic profile and building the clay mold that will shape the bell’s sound and form. ⚙️ From calculating the bell profile with the schablone to constructing the brick core and applying successive layers of clay mixed with natural materials, every step demands precision, experience, and patience. 🔥 The mold is slowly dried and fired by hand, ensuring stability and accuracy before any metal is poured. Even the smallest deviation at this stage can permanently affect the bell’s tone. 🏛️ Part 1 documents the foundation of a centuries-old craft, revealing how knowledge, geometry, and material control came together before electricity to create bells meant to last for generations. 👉 Part 1 of the Before Electricity bell-founding series.

Since 1770, the Mabilon foundry in Saarburg has been casting church bells the same way. What you are watching in this episode is the final and most demanding stretch of a process that began over three months earlier — when the team first started building the molds by hand. In this episode, we follow the critical work week leading up to the pour. The molds are stripped down, cleaned, graphite-coated, and reassembled with the kind of precision that leaves no room for error. The clapper suspension ring must be set at exactly the right point. The cope and core must align perfectly. Then all five molds are lowered into a gravel pit and buried under three days worth of compacted topsoil — because only the pressure of the earth above can hold the mold together when four thousand kilograms of bronze comes pouring in. The metal itself is no simple matter either. Bell bronze is seventy-eight percent copper and twenty-two percent tin, with strict limits on any foreign material. It has to reach eleven hundred and fifty degrees before it is ready. The pour is always scheduled for a Friday, so the bells can cool undisturbed over the weekend. Any vibration during cooling can ruin everything. Five days after the pour, the bells come out of the ground. Months of work come down to the moment the cope is knocked away — what the foundry calls the true birth of the bell. Original source material: Glockengiessen.

The Process of Making the Forbidden Mirror of Japan. The Last Remaining Japanese Mirror Master. ▶What is a Makyo (Magic Mirror)? “Makyo,” or “magic mirror,” is a traditional Japanese craft imbued with mystery. Unlike ordinary mirrors that simply reflect, a Makyo was said to reveal hidden beauty, inner truth, and even worlds beyond the surface. During the Edo period, some of these mirrors were ingeniously crafted to secretly project Christian images when light was cast upon them, serving as a discreet form of faith for the “Hidden Christians” (Kakure Kirishitan). Today, a Makyo stands not only as an exquisite object of artistry but also as a profound cultural expression that intertwines craftsmanship, legend, and history. ▶Product in Video: https://suigenkyo.store/collections/a... ▶Craftsman Profile Akihisa Yamamoto Akihisa Yamamoto, the fifth-generation head of Yamamoto Alloy Works in Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto, is the only mirror maker in Japan who still handcrafts magic mirrors (makyō). While preserving the traditional techniques handed down from his father, he is devoted to passing on the legacy of these mysterious mirrors to the present age. ▶Contact: [email protected] © 2022 Suigenkyo Ltd.
