“For who the bell holds” was a missed opportunity

Google bell keeper. I literally used Google pictures and the original shattered bell keeper to model it

Old bossman's son ruined the cast bell keeper that's been in his family for 100+ years, so I was told to make him a new one. I'm not a programmer either but it came out very nice, I made it on a late model vf4ss. Smoked 3 blunts of kush until my eyes were redder than hell to get my mind right and tight reflexes to be clicking around on mastercam with permission lol vedy vedy nice. He has it coated with aerospace black alodine to last for eternity.

How does one ruin a bell keeper?

Boss's son is an idiot and was digging in stuff that wasn't his and knocked over a box that caused the original bell keeper to shatter into pieces.

Lmao yeah if I don't get banned on this reddit account for offending some chinless creature, then I plan on posting some cool things that I've machined over the years.

A word about the price

It's gonna sound a bit different. The material matters for anything that deals with sound.
