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!
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.
In this second part, I build a panel of buttons to control my bell board and install the system on my shelf.
Now the bell board is totally complete, and in this video I show you the completed bell board and demonstrate all of the bells.
