I love it when you come up with those technical terms, Father!I'm not surprised he has this gift, Nancyk. The clapper is known as "the tongue of the bell". Perhaps Father Steve has been blessed by the Holy Ghost. :) Acts 2:1-11 V4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.Comment from Bible Studies website [link below]: "The Holy Spirit gave them the words to say, they did not have to think of what to say. Here they are filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak other languages that they did not know how to speak before. An example would be some one that could only speak English now with the Holy Spirit could also speak Japanese." http://www.biblestudygames.com/biblestudies/speakingintongues.htmNo-one has ever accused Father Steve of Babeling, Nancyk. :) http://www.unmuseum.org/babel.htmMrs. Coot has no idea what she started here. :)

Or simply a compound word.
Anyway, bell founder is the word wanted in the thread starter, yes, or are there other distinctions? If a bell were made of, say, pottery, would we have to cast out 'bell founder' for the potter and call the maker a 'bell potter'?

I think the Chinese, at one time, made bells (or perhaps chimes) from stone. Would the fabricator thereof be a bellcarver or what?

I never made a bell myself but I have been, on occasion, accused of being a little dingy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cootcoots appear mysteriously on Minnesota lakes twice a year, hang about feeding for a few days, and then mysteriously disappear.  Snipes are good eatin', they taste like a cross between teals & quails. At least that's what my taste buds tell me. I highly recommend Snipe. I will eat my hat before I eat coot. - anon

Oh dear. Well, that's not important to most women anyway.
