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.

+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.
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.
I see a lot of comments about not having the machinery to do this, but this can be easily accomplished with basic hand/power tools. I think the part with the lathe was just thrown in for fun. Great idea! Great video! I'll be digging trough Grandma's Christmas decorations very soon!
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 RUclips 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, 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
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.
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!
+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.
Switch & Lever I know what a CNC is, I am an electrical engineer ;) Could you share more details about how a coordinate table works? Fairlt new to wood working and especially new to your fancy equipment... My guess is that is like a CNC but you input the G code manually?
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.
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?
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!
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.
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!
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!
+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.
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.
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.
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.
+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 RUclips 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.
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?
Happy to see that you read my comment and replied. You are really right about that. But what I meant was a reference to Crazy Russian Hacker,😊 Have good day! ,
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!
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.
I like the fact it would look totally at home in a Steampunk themed setting... And as far as people saying they don't have all the devices to make the project.. Improvise!!! I'm going to give it a go, but do it all by hand.. It'll take a bit longer, yeah, but it looks like a fun build..
Excellent design and build but I have to laugh thinking that after more than a century of advancements in sound technology, it looks (and functions) like the original Gramophone invented by Emile Berliner in 1887. 😄 Great stuff.
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...
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.

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.
That's a wonderful build!
Nice job, Iike the steampunk look of it as well
Wait... what? Safety third?
Indeed. There are far more important things than safety, like being aware of your surroundings for instance.
But being aware of your surrounding is a part of safety...
You are right
Mango safety never
Safety third is overkill. In my shop, safety is fifth or sixth, depending on what I'm doing and how drunk I am.
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.
Dank je wel. You really made it look so simple, beautiful and functional. You seemed to enjoy yourself, and I enjoyed watching. Cheers, Alison K
I think that was well done, simple and functional. Looks nice.
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?

I thought safety was number one priority.
+Sayuj Raphael all the safety gear in the world won't help if you lose focus and have a poor grasp of your surroundings.
Happy to see that you read my comment and replied. You are really right about that. But what I meant was a reference to Crazy Russian Hacker,😊
Have good day! ,
Switch & Lever you make really good videos, just subscribed to you
+Sayuj Raphael welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay! :)
Sayuj Raphael OH MY GOD HAHAHAH
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!
That was some _awesome_ steampunk phone-amp!!! 🏆 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
For a second I thought you said autistic amplifier
Otherwise known as an 'internet connection'.
tSp289 good one haha
Everything is so perfect and crispy. Nice job!
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.
Just seeing this now. So cool. Very creative 😁
Very cool project. Nice audio instructions.
With all those tools and brass stock at his disposal, I'm surprised he didn't make a custom horn for the top.
Great work and video.
Very cool! I love the design!
+Carl Jacobson cheers! It was a fun project!

I like the fact it would look totally at home in a Steampunk themed setting...
And as far as people saying they don't have all the devices to make the project.. Improvise!!! I'm going to give it a go, but do it all by hand.. It'll take a bit longer, yeah, but it looks like a fun build..
Nicely done. Functional art.
Very good instructions, thank you for sharing 😊
Who cases if someone else has build something similar?
It looks very nice and the video is going into all the details of making it. love it
the music is making me rethink my entire life
Excellent design and build but I have to laugh thinking that after more than a century of advancements in sound technology, it looks (and functions) like the original Gramophone invented by Emile Berliner in 1887. 😄 Great stuff.
Very well done. The nice thing about your design is that the horn can be recycled with a different wooden base for the iphone 7, 8, 9, etc
+Andy Wright yeah, it would be very easy to just make a new base. The only issue would be if, like the Samsung phones, the speaker sits in the back.
