The bell and cowbell smelter sometimes makes his smaller models by sand casting after having traced, on a truing board, the desired exterior and interior templates according to the note to be obtained. Three bell foundries persist in France today. After a 2-year CAP (NVQ) as a core molder, copper and bronze option, and a 2-year CAP as a bronzier, bronze turner option, the rest can only be learned on the job. There would be 45 bell foundries left in the world today.
