Wrench722 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 This is something I have been working on for 32 years. I saw and heard my frist set when I was 17 and though that I would never be able the afford a set. So I started learning and gathering info and doing a lot of wood working and building furniture and doing trim work. Till around two years ago and then I started this set. http://s981.photobucket.com/albums/ae297/wrench722/H%20Horn/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twu Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 That is a beautiful piece of work. Well done and congratulations! I'm guessing it's was way more satisfying than buying new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Wow...what a great hair dryer! Oh...they were behind it. Let's see, at 60/hr for your labor probably a real bargain. [6] Truly magnificent work. The satisfaction level must be immense. Now you'll find yourself wandering around trying to figure out what to do with the time. Congratulations on a labor of love.

The Dude Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Congrats. nice looking piece of art. Great pics by the way, those really help some that might be trying to figure it out them selves. Hope you enjoy. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundbound Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 You did a great job building those. They are very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skonopa Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Absolutly beautiful work there! I am willing to bet you probably get far more enjoyment out of those than you would if you bought a pair. Just think that everytime you sit down to listen, that these are something you've created with your own hands. Very nice indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorjen Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 WOW Wrench, just frickin' wow! Outstanding effort man, they are truly beautiful. Now, how do they sound? Even if they only sound half as good as they look then you are in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 So THAT's what you've been working on for the last two years. [] They look great, and I'm sure they sound great too. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Very nice!! Congratulations!

Wrench722 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Thanks guys for all the kind words. And yes they do sound very very good. I put them up next to my 1975 Khorns and man it is like night and day. There are one or two people on this forum that helped. So thanks to ALK, Bob, Greg's for helping with the elec and Greg;s for some measurements I did not have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me Loves Khorns Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Those are beautiful. Do you work with wood as a job? Or serious hobby? That is amazing work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench722 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 No just a serious hobby. And love it. Those are beautiful. Do you work with wood as a job? Or serious hobby? That is amazing work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench722 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 I agree. That is only thing I did not finish. Very nice!! Congratulations!
