    Yes, I was speaking in  terms of hand bells and such - I know (not
    from experience) the methods you talk about, and some giant bells
    aren't moved at all, just formed, left in one place, and poured.  I
    made some bells about 3" tall (essentially the Liberty Bell in look) -
    Lost wax casting- Yes, that was my drift....
