Bell Board Project

The Bell Board is exactly how it sounds. It's a board of bells. I've collected a few different mechanical elevator bells over the years, and I wanted all of them to be functional and look nice. These series of videos show how I created this neat looking board that displays the bells and allows them to be functional!

Part 1: Building the Board

This first video shows the creation of the base that all of the bells sit on. The base holds 5 different bells. Two of them have solenoids that work on the lower voltage, and three of them I needed to create my own method of ringing them. Luckily, I had created some custom hammers from older project that I was able to use here. In the end, I have this really nice board of bells that's ready to be connected to a controller.

Part 2: Controller and Installing

In this second part, I build a panel of buttons to control my bell board and install the system on my shelf.

Part 3: Completed Board

Now the bell board is totally complete, and in this video I show you the completed bell board and demonstrate all of the bells.
