In this video, I cover the basic techniques I use to determine where to cut the tip off on a horn and how I drill the spout hole. This is the first step in most powder horn builds.

Clint, this is the preacher from Alabama who portrays the Rev. Samuel Doak during OVTA's annual re-enactment of the March to King's Mountain. Your Dad & I were good friends & he worked on several of my flintlocks in years past. I actually met you several times in Morgantown, NC. My older son is also named Clint. I'm happy to learn of your KZbin Channel & I have just subscribed. I know that you miss your Dad. I lost both my parents last year within 8 months of one another; so my thoughts & prayers are offered on behalf of you & your family. Your Dad & I were close to the same age; I turned 83 my lats birthday. I look forward to learning from you as I watch your presentations. Thanks a million; & may God bless you & yours. G. Cobb (aka Samuel Doak) By the way, we have not been on the March since Covid & we were taking care of my parents until their passing. 'Hope to see you this Fall in Morganton or along the Trail!

Howdy: I started making powder horns in the 70's. I've vented (drilled out through the side) a few, but not too many thankfully. It happens! Anyway, as to shortcuts or helpful hints? FWIW, I buy rubber O rings from a plumbing supply store in different diameters. You "roll" one of them down the tip to where you want to cut/mark, etc. and you can draw a perfect ring around the horn with a pencil or marker. Just carefully run the marker along both sides of the O ring. Works every time. I hope that helps some newbies? Nice work, great video. Thanks. God bless: Two Feathers Proprietor of...

I've followed your horn making for a while and enjoy your work. I've made several over the years and have made every possible mistake there is but I really enjoy making them, not to your level of talent but I hope to get there some day. Thanks for the video I'm always looking for tips to improve my horn making.

Where do you get your great looking horns from?
@hornandfiber4523 Жыл бұрын
I usually buy horns at events where I can pick them. The Annual HCH meeting, Kempton’s Gunmakers Fair, and CLA show are all great places near me. If you are looking to order online, I recommend Powder Horns and More. Hope that helps.
