Ambitious DIY Horn Project

[Beowulf57]

The whole idea of the Klispch corner horn was how to get a 8' horn into a corner with a small foot print.

Agreed...but you'll need good woodworking skills.

Cousin Bjorn's Nowegian Ambitious Horn Project

Now that is a weapon for the war against silence! Just think, in the dark of night, Jurassic Park at full power.

I would be happy to have a garage that would even fit in, and unhappy to live on the bussiness end of that!

I would love to see a bill of materials list, just for fun. How many steel drums is that? That's great!

Now THAT'S what it would have taken to properly call the moose accross the lake

First off thanks for the limitless possibilities this thing could have.

I'll probably go with a more conventional enclosure for the low end. Looking at the Magicos I see the subbass is more like a Bazooka Bass Tube. That shouldn't be too difficult. Design a cylindrical enclosure (radius = 13.25 inches) following the vented 2245H enclosure.

The project is underway. I thought I'd start off with the hard stuff, HF horn, first. Attached are a few starting picks. The view on the table saw is the wedge shaping sled and blocking to laminate the curved top and bottom. Next picture should be the wedge sled on the router doing the tapered shaping of the compound curve. Last picture is some shaping with a wrasp to remove burrs.

I consider my woodworking skills pretty good. I think the hard part will be finding time to complete. Life is always busy without having a hobby. It's gonna be a slow one but I'll try dropping in pics as I go.
