Hi
I'm wanting to make a resonator cone and i have a few questions:
Is there specific size/shape/curvature needed?
What is the best afforable material?
How do you put them into a CBG?
And most importantly - how do you actually make the things?
If anyone can answer any of the questions i will be very grateful.
Penfoot.

Thanks for the videos, i might try the idea of a metal bowl as i dont have a lathe :(
But, thanks for the help.
And it didnt look too dangerous spinning them Ben's way....
Wow - I feel kinda famous.
And a little responsible for whatever happens....
A fair point CBJohn - Having the nickname "No fingers" doesn't make for a good CBG player ;O)
Here are a couple of videos off youtube that show what is involved with the building.
