Quick how to - Cheap Recording Horn
I got this idea from Ben on YouTube after talking with him and decided to make my own after watching his success. It's exactly what I was looking for. So I figured I'd take some pictures in case anyone else wanted to try it without watching a video. For one horn it cost $3.00. See pics below! I cut the tip to ⅜ of an inch, and instead of epoxy I used loctite instant adhesive I had laying around.

I bought a really nice snapper lawnmower a few months ago. Worked great, changed the blades, changed the plastic and all that...looked brand new. Only had one problem, the previous owner had broke the motor part where a bolt that holds the top plastic and the pull start on. With only 3 bolts holding it on it was difficult to start cause the plastic teeth on pull rope would break if it wasn't level. So my mom decides to bring it to her shop (she owns a glass business) and have them "fix" it. Well...they drilled a hole into the head and tapped it and boy it held it down good. When I started it it idled funny, as I had not yet noticed the bolt in the head. When I went to remove the dipstick it blew out spraying gas and exhaust everywhere... out of the crankcase. Completely ruined the motor lol I was not a happy camper! So luckily the house I'm about to buy is new construction and doesn't have grass right now

I love multi use items... You can oil your lawn mower, put transmission oil in your car , then have a slick recording horn. Tom B

Made my first cylinder with it. I'm very happy with the results!! Of course I used brown wax, but it's very clear.tomb wrote:I love multi use items... You can oil your lawn mower, put transmission oil in your car , then have a slick recording horn.
