Horn pan primer

[PitchyPine]

Made a pan primer for my new flint lock that will be here Tuesday.
The bell shaped cap on the end screws off for filling.

Great job.

Thanks, that fill cap is off a light fixture, the piece that holds the glass up.
There`s a long threaded tube that runs up through the fixture that i cut a short piece off of and threaded into the horn.

That's a really unique piece. Using the lamp parts is a great idea!

Thanks again all, yep drilled it out starting with a 1/4 in bit.
Tricky task keeping from drilling out the side, if they only made a drill that would go around corners.
I was wondering if a person cut the horn length wise with a band saw then use a dremmel tool and hollow it out then glue it back together.

I used a Forstner bit to start mine so that a plug would fit tightly. I then used a Dremel to open up the inside without damaging the outside of the plug hole.

I would photo it, but I lost it turkey hunting last spring. :redface:
