Masters of Bronze | The Ancient Art of Bell Casting - 1991 Part 2

The documentary film shows the second part of the bell casting process at the Mabilon foundry (Saarburg, 1991): dismantling the molds, removing the “false bell,” setting up in the casting pit, creating brick channels, melting the bronze alloy, the casting process itself, extracting the finished bells, sound inspection, and the final polishing of the bell.
