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.

Roosterman did a great video on spinning cones here http://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/spinning-reso-cones-at-home
Also if you check out this group you will get a few ideas http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/howloudcanwemakeit
Ok...if you are linking to Ben's cone-spinning working methods...is there a doctor in the house?!!!
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.

Or a set of photos of one made by Ted Crocker using a stainless steel bowl for a cone

Or if you haven't seen this yet the reso cone from Old Lowe

....and not forgetting da da da da da da dahh!!!! Roosterman's candy reso cone http://www.randyroosterscigarboxguitars.com/page5.htm
Wow - I feel kinda famous.
And a little responsible for whatever happens....
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....
