I just redesigned the rope system at St. Michaels in Wayne NJ. Still a work in progress. My issue, the way the smaller bells are hung; too high and its hard to control due to the steep angle.

Is there a good book on ringing?

Hi Shea, there are some good resources internationally but nothing in English, although that would be a good project for us in coming years! But all the information you need to get started you can find in our full online video course: www.thechurchbellcompany.com/learntoring
