Switch & Lever A countersink for example, you drill the countersink then drill the through hole. In woodworking you work from largest bit to smallest to keep the center point. I believe that's what he meant.
Wonderful idea. I will definitely be keeping my eyes out for an old horn. Some people say they don't have the tools, but you can do a lot with just a drill and a dremel. The idea is what counts. You can always find a way to make it happen.
+jimmydiresta cheers man! Still, a bit jealous of your horn, been looking for one like it for a while. Love your build, and that you kept the integrity of the old horn and didn't repaint it or something such.

It's "obviously" a copy? Despite something like this being released on the same day as Jimmy's, and taking several days to actually make and edit video? If time is not in the equation then the pyramids in Egypt is obviously a copy of the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas.
Well technically your video was released two days after Jimmy's. Relax though I'm not 100% on anything I just don't believe in coincidences such as these so I assumed you copied the idea. Tons of people on TH-cam openly copy DiResta. Great job on your creation and all the love and support. Didn't mean any disrespect.
Man, I wish I had all the tools needed to create cool things like this. I've got a decent amount of handheld tools, but nothing like lathes, band saws, table saws, drill presses, and so on. I do have access to some of these things though. No lathe though. I'm glad I discovered this channel. I love shit like this. I've been working on making a bass guitar from a water damaged body I found. It's completely unpainted, and no strings or electronics installed. It does have a neck though, which appears to be in great shape. It also has the tuners and strap pegs which I'm going to replace. There is some rust that accumulated where the screw goes in on the bottom to hold in the strap peg. I'm not exactly sure what to do to clean it out though. I'm thinking of drilling a bigger hole and filling it back up so I can drill a new hole for the new screw. I procrastinate a lot though, so it's taking me quite a while to get this done.
man. i could probably build this easily without the crazy tools he had. You just have to use some ingenuity, and figure out how to modify the build to the tools and materials YOU have. for example. the lathed brass flange and plate could easily be replaced by using hardening epoxy that you sand smooth then simply paint the epoxy and base the same color. just do it clean not sloppy and it will look nice. Also I love this idea because I like older music like Sinatra or really old blues music. Their stuff originally was played on vinyl records through a Victrola (early record player with a big horn for a speaker) This unit really REALLY gives you the old feel of a Victrola with the modern touch of using the cell phone. I REALLY LIKE THIS.
Man, you are a perfectionist. It starts pretty simple but then it becomes fairly complicated. Nice technique and all but sheesh... so much work details and effort... I love it. Pretty entertaining and satisfying
This is one of the best looking and best sounding versions I've seen. In the process of gathering the components to build one myself. I'm considering internal metal tubing, all the way to the phone speaker.
Sure, at which point you either re-mill the groove, or remake the wooden part altogether. I tend to use my phones for three-ish years at a time, I can live with remaking the wooden piece with that interval. Turk musun?
+Anas Malas it's a drill press, with an endmill. You can clearly see me moving the piece by hand, no computers involved. That's what the C in CNC stands for, Computer Numerical Control.

Technically it's a horn. An amplifier requires an electronic component driving the power output. The audio of the phone before the horn is pointed at the floor and then the audio coming out of the horn is far more direct. You filmed this beautifully. Wish you had a better example of the before and after audio.
Farnømat analog amplifiers are also electronic. some are digital and some are analog (tubes) an amplifier increases a signal prior to leaving a speaker. It's a direct manipulation of the signals amplitude that makes it an "amplifier" this is an acoustic horn.
@@kcgunesq the energy comes from the phone battery. This horn is a passive device and so cannot increase the output energy. It does two things, it makes a better impedance match to the air and focuses the sound in the direction it's pointing. It increases decibels for a listener in front by "stealing" them from a listener behind. It's principally a lens.
You did a terrífic job Daniel! Upcycling that horn was a clever idea. It matches really well with walnut, no doubt. I'm glad you came back in business. Regards!
People keep talking about how most watching this will not have the tools necessary. So what!? This is super informative and interesting (and humorous) so maybe someone will get more interested in woodworking enough to buy some tools. Fantastic job!
It was marked walnut though (valnöt in Swedish, you can still see the sharpie mark on the wood in the video), in my experience mahogany isn't as deep in color as walnut is. I may be wrong though. Glad you liked it!
+Practical Engineering could also have been mislabeled long ago when that piece was shelved. I have no idea how long it's been laying around just collecting dust. That makes me wonder if there is something like a quick, maybe chemical, test of determining species of wood. To the Google-mobile!
+stubee52 come on guy! I like the digital angle feature on his table saw. I was interested in what model it was. The brand is clear but not the model number. I Googled it before asking but couldn't find an answer. What happened that made you into a person that finds the need to be an asshole for no reason? It's a legitimate question from one maker (and big fan) to another. There is no need for your hostility and general suckiness.
I am not building a french horn phone speaker at the moment. Its a great build and very clever. I am well aware of the nuances of building one. I'm an inventor and engineer. Does that matter? Not one bit. I am a professional woodworker in the market for a very nice table saw. I like his. I couldn't find more information. I asked. It was a beyond reasonable question. You responded by being a complete condescending knuckle dick. Everyone deserves the right to seek information, engage in the discussion and learn. I hope you find whatever it is that you're missing in your life that makes you lash out at others so viciously, even when unwarranted. I wish you happiness and peace of mind my friend. Have a great day, seriously.
Very classy build. I'd want to hear a sound test of music that's full definition and not the oldies (even though I love the classics), just to hear the amplification capabilities. Even if not used it's a beautiful ornament in any home. Well done mate!
I love this! A few years back they sold these at a store called Restoration Hardware for around $150. and they worked great. Sadly Restoration stopped carrying them and most people do not have these tools at home to make their own.
+Samuel Boisvert I make these videos and I don't even have these machines at home. In the end, if you get hung up on what you don't have instead of trying to explore alternative methods of doing things then of course complaining on TH-cam is much easier than getting things done. My videos are not a recipe that you follow step by step, they do require a little bit of more cognitive effort than that.
Sorry you took offense to my comment. It wasn't meant to be offensive. Side note: I actually did like the video. More cognitive effort than that? Really? Dislike.
+Samuel Boisvert I'm glad you like the video, don't get me wrong. But the argument of not having the machines is more a sign of not actually wanting to do anything about it. If you actually wanted to you wouldn't complain about it, but rather try to figure things out. I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm not sugar coating things either. Dislike if you wish, that's your right, but my videos are not "How to make anything with duct tape and a paper clip" kind of videos, and even if they were I'm sure someone would complain that they don't have paper clips.
(btw, when I say these videos I'm talking about the general ''Making ____'' videos). I'm not complaining about your videos or any other. I was just saying that there a lot of cool things on youtube that many people aren't able to replicate easily. That's it. It wasn't even aimed towards you. My comment was just a question to see who could relate.
One of the most wonderful examples of "over-engineering" I've ever seen. Thank you so much for this, it made my day! BTW, it looks wonderful and I wish I had the gear to make one!
Not sure why getting the horn would be a hold up, a quick search on eBay for "Decorative brass horn" brought up a plethora of results ranging in price from under $10.00 to about $30.00.
Oh!sama thing is this video is to show how you can have an artistic looking analog speaker that sounds great as well. it's like a vinyl records instead of cds.
Wow, not only are you quite the skilled craftsman, but you are obviously very skilled with cinematography. These are some beautiful camera angles and you make it quite pleasant to watch.
I saw this video last night, and went hunting for an autorickshaw horn for this make. But out there in the flea market , I saw some brass based items. A miniature table fan made out of brass. It works!!! and a good collection. See if you can give it a try. I will surely try this one of yours when I get the right stuff. Loved this video
Amazingly well done tutorial with many wonderful tips and techniques. And yes you seem to have access to a full machine shop but is was fun to watch and very instructive, thank you for making the effort and posting it for our enjoyment!

How to get money off hipsters: create an iphone accessory from walnut and brass. Nice work though. Makes me long for the days when I had an actual workshop and tools more specialised than a screwdriver.
That all depends on how much you're willing to pay. Since it's a bespoke item, and has taken quite some time to create, factoring in time, tax and a small profit it would end up being somewhere around $2000. Are you still interested?
Greetings from the Great White North. Excellent build and great explanation. Luckily, I have access to all the tools and materials you have used and I am going to build one too. I just thinks it looks and sounds great. Thank you for posting the build. Take Care.
Amazing work! Please keep doing these great builds! I love watching your videos because in my opinion you are one of the most dedicated craftsmen and incredibly creative, too
Hey there, I'm a big fan, so I'm probably biassed, but nonetheless : 1) great original project 2) perfect editing 3) the 'tongue in cheek' makes it so much more entertainable. I watch maker youtube stuff all the time. You're one of a kind. Thank you for this.
Brilliant build! Two further hints: 1. Sand the sound channel smooth, including the "roof" over it on the upper piece, and give it several coats of varnish before assembling the base; this will have a notable effect on the amplification. 2. This Edison-era technology isn't fabulous for listening to music (unless it's Edison-era music; I love that old stuff), but it's very handy for podcasts, where fidelity is much less of an issue. If you want to get an idea of how well it works, you can accomplish similar results -- without the convenience, beauty, or full efficiency of this design -- by putting your mobile device in a conical vase of glass or metal. A friend of mine has such a vase that's five feet high. I lowered my iPod into it, and the result was amazing!
MeToo, "Safety Third!!!" What a great way to remember the mantra! Master Switch & Lever, you well deserve the title of "Master." Like a musician we call "Maestro," I am in awe! And for you to play that archeo-audio is like a science fiction time traveler (Oh, wait, you are in this century, right?) Thank you so much for sharing your skills.
When drilling I prefer to start with the final size and work my way back to a pilot hole.Your way seems to work fine though.
+warrantyvoid100 ahh, you're using the additive drills, been looking for those for a long time.
I think what he means drill the largest non-through hole first then work to smaller so you don't lose your center.
+Rick McQuay I tried to wrap my brain around what you meant, but failed. Could you elaborate?
maybe something like start with a wide shallow hole, and cut the tighter deeper hole afterwards ? oh well...

Wow it actually amplified more then i would thought it did.. Great did, and a beautiful please of Mastercraft

wood-hard wood is a great amplifier its why its used for most older music boxes because it resonates really well
I like how 99% of people watching this won't have any machines, or supplies to create this project.

Thank you! I wish everyone had a similar wisdom as yourself!

Love this! I really like how you turned this horn into something else.
if safety is 3rd, what is 1st and 2nd??
drugs and money
Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll
Accident and hospitalization
Danger and carelessness.
Subrata Ray Chaudhury you made my day xd
Holly damn!!! It really gives the old vinyl feeling. I would buy it
How to get money off hipsters: create an iphone accessory from walnut and brass.
Nice work though. Makes me long for the days when I had an actual workshop and tools more specialised than a screwdriver.
A pretty steampunk amplifier. Very good and nice explanation
Can i just buy it off u
That all depends on how much you're willing to pay. Since it's a bespoke item, and has taken quite some time to create, factoring in time, tax and a small profit it would end up being somewhere around $2000. Are you still interested?
Switch & Lever How about a small loan of a million dollars
+Cre8able sure, I'll get right on that. Who do I make this imaginary and invisible check out to?

Greetings from the Great White North. Excellent build and great explanation. Luckily, I have access to all the tools and materials you have used and I am going to build one too. I just thinks it looks and sounds great. Thank you for posting the build. Take Care.
For a second I thought you said autistic amplifier
Otherwise known as an 'internet connection'.
tSp289 good one haha
Amazing work! Please keep doing these great builds! I love watching your videos because in my opinion you are one of the most dedicated craftsmen and incredibly creative, too
That's a wonderful build!
I might have enough parts for this! Thanks for the well made video!
Absolutely fantastic build!!
Awesome job I love the steam punk look that this has!
so beautiful and well thought - a real peace of art!
well thought. .....no
Very cool! I love the design!
+Carl Jacobson cheers! It was a fun project!
Hey there, I'm a big fan, so I'm probably biassed, but nonetheless : 1) great original project 2) perfect editing 3) the 'tongue in cheek' makes it so much more entertainable. I watch maker youtube stuff all the time. You're one of a kind. Thank you for this.
+Joris Van Puyenbroeck cheers man! I know the humor is not for everyone, but I'm glad someone likes it!
Brilliant build! Two further hints: 1. Sand the sound channel smooth, including the "roof" over it on the upper piece, and give it several coats of varnish before assembling the base; this will have a notable effect on the amplification. 2. This Edison-era technology isn't fabulous for listening to music (unless it's Edison-era music; I love that old stuff), but it's very handy for podcasts, where fidelity is much less of an issue. If you want to get an idea of how well it works, you can accomplish similar results -- without the convenience, beauty, or full efficiency of this design -- by putting your mobile device in a conical vase of glass or metal. A friend of mine has such a vase that's five feet high. I lowered my iPod into it, and the result was amazing!
Oh my gosh! I so wanna build this, wish I had the tools. It's a really cool idea and it looks cool af.
Nice job, Iike the steampunk look of it as well
Just seeing this now. So cool. Very creative 😁
Very cool project. Nice audio instructions.
MeToo, "Safety Third!!!" What a great way to remember the mantra! Master Switch & Lever, you well deserve the title of "Master." Like a musician we call "Maestro," I am in awe! And for you to play that archeo-audio is like a science fiction time traveler (Oh, wait, you are in this century, right?)
Thank you so much for sharing your skills.
Nice video and clear instructions. I’m just wondering why didn’t you clean the brass plate and the soldering?
