Horn spout

[Jim Spray]

I finally got the shop set up and have been workin on this for a few days. It has been apart bent and re bent drilled and re drilled but I finally have it working the way it should. Just a prototype but I learned a bunch from doing it. Next one will be a little different. Don't ever move when you're 70 years old!! It took forever to get the new shop set up the way I wanted it.

 Looks Good to me, I wouldn't even try to make one, what of you got 7 or 8 pieces there multiply that by 10 and I may have the parts to try and get started.

Looks good I agree with Tim I would not even want to try to make one. Well maybe one out of horn

Don't see one of those every day.
Very nice work.

Nice work -- how about an end shot in the big end or more details -- i.e. thickness of brass sheet, lap or butt joint, soft or silver solder/braze. How do you plan on attaching it to a horn?
Many years back I made a few of the English Shot Flask charger head that has a quick cut-off gate and that was a chore to get it working properly also made them for powder dispensing. All were a lot of work for little return.

The brass is 20 gauge .032 butt jointed with silver solder. The one's I have are pined on to the horn. I have never put one on a horn. I don't build horns if I can help it.. I anneal the heck out of the brass and form it to the jig. I use a very small ball peen hammer and tap away until is gets to where I want it. The springs are made from a Briggs recoil spring.
Thanks,

 Thanks Jim, neat to see the break down like that. What are the dimensions on it?

Tim, The AOL is 1.810, base OD .920, tip opening is just over 1/4". That's the size of the two I have done so far. I'm sure the will all be a little different but not much.
Thanks,
Jim

Some better looking ones.

They look great how did you make the spring or get them? Looking for a couple of springs like that for some horn container builds I have set my mind on making.
