Well as far as I'm concerned 'fettle' has a couple of meanings here...apart from the metal casting correct useage.
Fettle either means 'mood' or 'fight and win'
In the 'fight and win' meaning its interchangeable with 'fell' Eg 'I'll fettle you' and 'I'll fell you' are identical in meaning
in the good sence it usually means a bad mood grumpy or angry. eg 'He/Shes in a right fettle' - he/shes in a bad mood 'Oh they're in a fine fettle the day It can, however be used in a positive sence Eg 'You're in a good fettle' but thats usually only used if the person is in an unsually good mood
