Just as a little fun fact, bi-metallic mechanisms are used basically everywhere around us. Most of the time not in the form a strip but in stamped discs that can be made to snap at a temperature with tolerances of less than one degree. Every item in your house that has a heater inside will most likely have a bi metal snap disc, as they are called, in them as safety mechanisms or every simple kettle that switches off when the water is cooking will have between 1-4 of these discs in them. It's actually quite fascinating how they work and how they are manufactured and actually how few companies there are in relation to the billions of discs used all over the world

It's like a Rube Goldberg machine. An over the top elaborately constructed and complex machine designed to accomplish a mundane task.
I absolutely love it! I enjoy fabricating myself and can understand the delight one feels when designing and constructing such a device.
One time I saw a group of engineering students who, just for grins and giggles, constructed a machine with over 20 different operations that took 50 seconds to complete.
The machine was constructed to place a stamp on an envelope. Marvelous!

If you turn the inside of the bell (and a small part of the outside) first and then clamp it internally to do the outside there's no problem with the bell ringing. Did this when I made an about 300 mm "ships bell" in stainless as a wedding gift to friends some years ago. Do be gentle with the pressure internally though, the bell deforms easily but the setup is very stable as long as turning is made towards the chuck..
Sweet little project!
