Standard version: floor standing, with a simple set of pulleys above the ringer, so there's no need to install a heavy dumbbell high above head height. Short on floor space, or have plenty of headroom? It can also be mounted high and/or offset to the side, with the pulleys placing the ringer wherever you want.

Portable free-standing version: a stand-alone frame that needs no fixings to your ceiling. More information on request.

We can often customise the box or supply extra pulleys to suit your space. Call Trevor on 07860 770535 to talk through which version suits you.

Tools you'll need

Drill/driver with PZ2 bit, level or plumb line, tape measure and scissors.

Your Home Dumbbell arrives by courier in a purpose-made plywood box. Connect it to your favourite software, such as Abel, Beltower or Virtual Belfry, and you have a complete home bell ringing simulator.

Each Home Dumbbell is built to order, so pricing depends on your setup. Please contact Trevor for a quote.

Rope has been crafted on ropewalks in much the same way for centuries, and every Maypole piece carries that heritage forward. It's handmade to order by Trevor on the Maypole Ropewalk in Kent. Wool is fed into each of the three strands as the rope is laid, then the sally is combed and trimmed with traditional hand tools, exactly as for a church bell rope.

Because it's made by hand, expect slight natural variation, which is part of the charm. If we have any questions about your colour choices, we'll be in touch before we start.

Need something bespoke, such as a custom length or your church's patron saint colours? Call Trevor on 07860 770535.
