A bit more involved Horn repair - C. in Indy - 10-20-2018
There's more than saw-totes and plane-totes needing new horns...
Recovering from a recent loss in flipping a string of German planes off "the auction place". .. I wanted to re-use the horn from a scrapped plane in another plane. There was a total mismatch on size, but I was able to determine that the "desired horn" dimensions existed totally inside a bigger "spare horn". Looking back, I should have taken a picture of the glue-chuck I used on the lathe. Anyway, I was able to use a turning axis that went through the center of the base and the center of the tip, and carefully trim the base to a new diameter, without smacking the nice curves in the middle. Then some rasp work, etc. Quite fun, and I'll look forward to the next one

Happy woodworking / tool hoarding!
