[TheForge] Triangle dinner bell

[Daniel Kretchmar]

I used a a leather shoelace on mine.  It lasted about 3 years without a problem.
 I checked it occasionally lightly by pulling on it.  When it pulled free, I
just replaced the shoe lace. My 5 year old loves to ring it to call me into the
shop

Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony, anyway? I mean, all you get is one
trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy
ooh hoo hoo hoo
the
sky's the limit!

> I made a triangle dinner "bell" that's about a foot on each side of 5/8"

> dull thud.  Same thing with chain.  I hung it up with an old boot lace

> over the neighborhood.  The lace has warn out and the triangle is heavy
> enough to do serious damage to the grandchildren's toes and mine.
> Any suggestions on how I could use metal to hang it up so it's stronger and
> permanent?
> I've tried using chain and S hooks, but they all seem to cancel out the
> vibrations that make the triangle ring.
> I use some ideas.
