Rounding the end of a horn

[No.4shot]

I had a good idea for making forms for rounding the end of the horn. Why couldn't you take a baseball bat and cut it into sections. Looks like I will have to go garage saling this weekend looking for a bat to give it a try.

I have tried this and it works. Find different size bats. mudd turtle.

If you dont have a wood lathe to turn a sizer or 2, it works quite well, get out the calipers and get busy!

I saw a jig a guy made for "turning" wooden wheels using a hand held belt sander. He mounted the sander on its side, anchoring it to a piece of plywood. He cut out the size wheel he wanted with a sabre saw or coping saw, and drilled a small hole at the center. He used a screw through that hole to anchor the wheel to the sheet of plywood at the radius he wanted. Then, he turned on the sander and rotated the wheel to sand off any areas that protruded.

Clay flowerpots from the home improvement store come in many sizes and work very well for this purpose.
