Cutting the Tip & Drilling the Spout Hole for a Powder Horn
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.

Before installing the horn tip, I always taper the spout hole. This video explains why and how. This was some leftover footage from an earlier video, posted as shot with no editing. Thanks for watching!

I would be interested to know, what type of lathe are you using?
I use a Turncrafter Commander 10 from Penn State Industry.
I think that I remember that atone time were you doing leather work & using a stitching Pony in Morganton, NC. I bought one last year to use in my leather projects! 'Blessings on you & yours!
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 TH-cam 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!
So good to hear from you. Hopefully we’ll see you this fall. I’m hoping to have some new videos posted soon, so thank you for subscribing and following along.
@@hornandfiber4523 And thank you for your prompt reply. Betty and I hope to see you in a few months. May God bless you & yours.
Nice work
Thank you!🙏🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks clint for showing the whole process. Lots of goog info. Danny
Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully have some new videos coming soon.
This is fantastic. I have made a couple without any info. It was tough but did work. Your infirmation was amazing especially with the measurements of everything. Thanks so very much. Love your horns. Danny
Thank you Danny! 🙏🏻
I need to get a lathe!
Definitely worth the investment!👍
Clint thanks for sharing your time, they are very informative.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice what do you use to permanently attach it to the horn. Thanks
Traditionally bands were glued and/or pinned on. I usually pin mine.
Great job
Thank you!
Thank you this was very helpful. LOVE the viking motiff.
Very interesting video, I too am a hornster, but, no offense intended, if I had a dog that looked like you I'd shave his butt and make him walk backward. I'm lucky I guess, don't have to make meself ugly, I was born that way. Just kiddin, great job!!!
Thanks. I think?🤪
Pretty slick truck with the rod.
Thanks! I learned it from another craftsman.
@@hornandfiber4523 oh and by the way Congrats on the Honorable Company of horners position
Sweet
Great video. I am planning on building a horn and this info is just fantastic. Also, it is nice to see you again after all the years. Wayne told me about your videos. Many thanks.
So good to hear from you! Thanks for the feedback, I hope folks are finding these videos helpful. I’m hoping to make some more in the near future. Life just keeps getting in the way. If you talk to Wayne again please give him my best. I’ve miss placed phone numbers for all you guys but would definitely love to catch up at some point. Good luck on your horn build! Please let me know if I can help in anyway!👍
Thank you for showing your process. It reminded me that I often do things the hard way. LOL Again thanks, Ike
Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully some new videos coming soon 🤞
@@hornandfiber4523 I have two big 1&1/4 curl domestic sheep horns I've had since the early 90's. I steamed the cores out but still don't know what to do with them. I was waiting for them to talk to me but...
@@totallyjonesin I haven’t worked with sheep horn much. Sounds like a great set of horns though!
We now need a video of how you attach turned tip. I’m trying to step up in my horn building and I now have a lathe. Starting a base plug this morning and your video is a big help. This one as well. I have a large buffalo horn that had a large split and nasty growth on the end, so I had to remove almost 2 inches. Going to use a turned hollow base and tip to add a little length back to it.
I’ll try to do a video on attaching a turned tip in the future! Good luck with the build!
Great video. Thank you. Word of wisdom regarding the dust mask. You only have ONE set of lungs. To get a proper seal only a clean, smooth, beardless face will promote a proper seal. Since you have no family I guess it doesn’t matter… right? 😅
Thank you, and thanks for the word of wisdom. Have a great day.
I hope to see more videos from you. Nice craftsmanship.
Thank you. I’m hoping to get back in the shop and do some video work soon! Thanks for subscribing!👍🙏🏻
Hi there, new to this channel and love your vids. I want to ask, can you not use the horn tips you cut off too make the plugs for the same flask?
I’m sure you could but it would require some work. Historically speaking, spout plugs were usually made from a soft wood such as pine or poplar. They were generally simple: a tapered plug to fit a tapered hole. This allows the plug to still seal well and keep moisture out even as the wood and horn both change due to moisture content.
Hey there Clint, just curious, have you ever tried using a beading tool when making your beehive style base plugs?
I haven’t. It’s an interesting idea though.
Hey Clint are you using the #1 or #2 mandrel saver package from pen state?
I use the #2 because that’s what my lathe calls for.
@@hornandfiber4523 awesome thanks Clint!
I would love to see a video of how you make the base of the horn perfectly round. How you make the wood mandrels for such a process. I’ve watched all your videos I can find. I’ve been making powder horn for over 30 years and I’d like to step up my game. I have the lathe and tip turning mandrel.
Awesome! I appreciate your suggestion and will try to get a video posted on it soon.👍
Thanks for the quick response, I'll check them out.😁
Where do you get your great looking horns from?
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.
Wandering if you will post vids on a more regular basis in the future ???
I’ll try! I would definitely like to!👍
@@hornandfiber4523 I will be here ready to watch !!!
@@davidwhiren817 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Enjoy your videos hopefully I have learned something 😊 have made a few horns but not to your skill level thanks for the advice!
Thank you! I hope they are useful. We are all continually learning, especially myself!👍
Could you please make a video that shows the complete installation of the tip to the horn. Thanks for sharing your skills so freely!!!
I will try to soon. I have several horns with applied tips to build this summer. Thanks for the request!👍
@@hornandfiber4523 Can’t wait!! Thanks for getting back to me and sharing your knowledge and experience!!
Beautiful job. Except for the beard vs lathe part.
It’s a risk I accept. I’ve set it on fire in the forge too!😂
Wondering where you went glad to see you back enjoy your videos
Thank you! Yes, life sometimes gets in the way of shop time. Several new videos in the works. 👍
Very nice 👍
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Hello Clint: I'm curious? Can you do a video on how you attach the bands to a horn? Thank you. God bless: Dave
Awesome idea. I will definitely put it on the list for a future video. Thanks for the suggestion!
Clint I am most definitely wanting to see that video. Great work
Great!!
Thanks!
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... The Mountain Man Emporium Berwick, Pa.
Awesome! Thank you so much! And thank you for sharing your experience. All how-to’s are welcome!👍
cool beans Clint...so neat.....
Thank you!
Nice!
Thank you!🙏🏻
I've been following you on Instagram for awhile now and I had no idea that you also have a TH-cam channel. Awesome videos, can't wait to see more!
Good job.
Thanks!
What were you using to make the band?
Bands are turned from cow horn.
I saved a lot of money using Penn State Industries when I owned my bowl turning Delta lathe.
Keep the videos coming! Thanks for sharing your wisdom my friend.
Thanks, will do!
Cool man cool
Thank you!
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.
Thank you! That means a lot! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I got a question about Shenandoah Valley powder horn straps,what was the common material they used,was any of them hemp?
Straps vary greatly from plan leather to elaborate weaves. In my opinion, Hemp would certainly have been an acceptable material for the time period.
Historically straps vary greatly from plan leather to elaborate weaves. In my opinion, Hemp would certainly have been an acceptable material for the time period as would linen or wool.
Thx. You've inspired me to make a banded horn. It's gonna cost me about a grand for the lathe and what not. Lol. But hey.. it's only money.
Well worth the investment!👍
A Lovely job! Kind Thanks! And Merry Christmas! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Merry Christmas to you too! More videos coming soon!🔥
@@hornandfiber4523 Great! I’ll be watching! Kind Thanks! DaveyJO
