WMcD Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Recently a few people have asked for tips on building bass horns. Cutting is a challenge, but so is locating screws. Wm Gil McD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Excellent Ideal! If all internal boards are same width, you could also just make top fork long enough to mark the center of internal placement. I prefer a Tri square to measure placement of internal boards, add additional measurement to locate center. Draw line, then adjust tri square back to support internal board while placing 1st screws at each end. However I've never built any base horns. My tri square limits me to about 18 inches.

CECAA850 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Nice! It's one of those "Why didn't I think of that" ideas. I'm sure I'll use it in the future, thanks. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Warren Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 To location screws I dry assemble the parts to be glued by first either clamping or tacking the panels together (using brads) then outlining the entire joint using a sharp pencil. When the parts are taken apart, the joints are defined and a pilot hole can be drilled from inside out locating the screw. Attached is example. Look close, a pencil line is seen.
