Very cool! Ingenuous re-use of what would have been thrown out. Very impressive piece of work. I look forward to seeing your demonstration of this with a flare. When I was younger I liked to build all sorts of things, most of which either didn't work or caught on fire. Your horn is a pleasant contrast to my typical disastrous projects. Keep it up!
thank you for the kind words! I am now in college and don't have access to this horn or my workshop, but when I go home I might finish it up and post the results.
Luke ... kudos kid! ... you really did it. Awesome horn. If I were to close my eyes while standing on the shore, I would swear an ocean liner was approaching the harbor. The video production was outstanding as well. Great format. I used to work with a production company and saw what worked and how to put it together. Great job. This will surely be a treat for all who watch. Keep up the great work my friend. ...Jay
I made one similar but with 8' of tubing and attached it to a regular airpump like for tires, and it blasts loud and a deep sound that travels REALLY far.
I've got a piece of polycarbonate in one I made. It's 4" and I have a 2" PVC pipe touching it. I can't get it to make a sound. Does the polycarbonate have to be slightly floating? Think a coin rattling in a cup holder as you drive. Or does it have to be sandwiched firmly around it's circumference?
Luke, you’re doing well so far. Add a 12’ tube, then find what you are calling “flare” (in fact it’s called a bell, because of its flared shape). There are all sorts of things you can use for your purpose, a funnel being one-off the cheapest and best. It will provide good amplification for your project, and should you decide no longer to use it, you could repurpose it as a tuba!
Just go to your local Hot tub dealer,an ask them for an old broken jacuzzi motor.They will have plenty of them and I'm sure will be more then glad to give 1 away....if they try 2 charge you tell em your gonna charge them for hauling there junk...
You can use Fiberglass and mold it on. Douglas Smith did. Fits any.But a Leslie 300 is as loud as a locomotive. So the 3 to 2 inch reducer needs to be twice the diameter. 6 to 4 inches.
u should try with a rear differential cap off a cars rear gear axel instead of that Jacuzzi part because that would be more readily available. and as a flare maybe a traffic cone
I've never come across one of those but if I do I'll take a look at it, and yeah a traffic cone is a good idea but it is rather flimsy and I'm not sure how it would handle sound amplification. But I might try that. Thanks!
Bowtie41 and my counter argument is that the hole in the housing that the air goes through is the limiting factor! it's no larger than my 1/4" hose, so theres no sense upgrading the hose size
Hope all is well. I notice you haven't uploaded in a while. Would really love to see how this turned out and maybe a step by step so I can make one too
@@LukeSantore those automotive horn flare tubes are not designed for the strong low frequency sound of your horn.higher frequency needs resonating flare tubes and lower frequencies(specially like the one you created) need non resonating rigid flare tubes.good luck
Is it going to be close to Nathan K5? Becase K5LA 115db at 100ft.How loud is it with a funnel?The black part is not a Jacuzzi pump unit, that's a Flange.
No, this is a boat horn, not a train horn. I do not have a decibel meter, so I cannot answer that question. And I did not refer to the "black part" as a Jacuzzi pump unit, I said it came from a Jacuzzi pump unit. Obviously it is not a pump unit.
wow.. thats great.. i bet you could make main bodies out of plastic closet flanges from the hardware store.. the flange that toilets mount to in the floor. perhaps a pair of them bolted together.. .. very cool.. very loud. there are also cast iron versions that have rubber sleeves that tighten with 3 bolts to pinch the pipe.. might be easier to mount to the pipe for adjustments and fine tuning.. www.homedepot.com/b/Plumbing-Pipes-Fittings-Valves-PVC-Pipe-Fittings-Fittings-Flanges/N-5yc1vZbuvl don't forget. there are also PVC and ABS pipe elbows.. so you could in theory create loops of tubing like a tuba out of plastic..
Can you come clear out my trash pile? The dump truck hasn't been by in ages and it's starting to get a lil stinky. It would be much appreciated. Thanks. *said in Wisconsin accent*
do you sell any of these? i wanted to get a ship horn like that for my car , as have a set of real nanthan KL5A train horns for truck, but really want a ship horn ? let me know and if there is an email and maybe we can work out a deal and get one of these :)
Luke Santore nah I got the Nathan's train horn for a steal at 200 bucks off a buddy of mine lol . ship horn's are impossible to find trust me been looking for along time and got the perfect vehicle for one . you wouldn't be interested in making or selling one at all ? its impossible to find horns with that low "fog" type tone
wish my buddy would sell me nathans for 200!! haha. I mean, i could make one like this but I would have to come across the right materials or buy this same stuff new
tbh i'd be interested in buying one of those off you but i'm not sure how would it fair in international shipping, i live in Romania. Would you be so kind in giving me the build cost and the proffit you are looking to make on it?
step by step? Okay, step one, go find a jacuzzi pump exactly like the one I have, then take it apart to only use 1 part of it... do you see the problem with that? its called a demo, not a tutorial. there are plenty of tutorials on youtube for how to make horns, including my own.... do your research
Pirates! Blimey! If they ask if you want to see the inside of "Davy Jones' Locker", tell them you would have to be "loaded to the gunwalls" first. Arr matey.
Inches? How "professional". /sarc The rest of the planet uses ISU (International Standard Units), might be wise to do this as well, for ... an actual professional imago?

Really love the horn. Thanks for sharing. Sounded like a real ships air horn
thank you!

Thank you for the kind words!! Wait until you hear this thing with a flared end... it will be a MONSTER!!
BTW I knew you'd be the first to comment! haha :D
Use a road cone as a funnel, cheap and easy to obtain.
thats a good idea...
The road cone is a good idea, but you could just use thick paper rolled into a cone to do testing first.
Absolutely fantastic. Nice work 🎉

@@chrsrumbaugh yes, you have to adjust the distance between the diaphragm and the tube. It should just barely touch.
What parts did you use for the diaphragm
plastic baggy stretched
Luke, you’re doing well so far. Add a 12’ tube, then find what you are calling “flare” (in fact it’s called a bell, because of its flared shape).

Have you ever made one like this?would like to buy one if you have the time.
Y'all could heat up the end slowly to make pliable and use a funnel to press into shape of bell you want.
Just go to your local Hot tub dealer,an ask them for an old broken jacuzzi motor.They will have plenty of them and I'm sure will be more then glad to give 1 away....if they try 2 charge you tell em your gonna charge them for hauling there junk...
nice job...the low frequency sound is so it travels farther across the water
Great horn Luke! Did you ever finish it? I would love to buy one or make one.
Your Neighbours must love you! 😅😅😅😅
Well done
Nice job on the boat horn, Luke What a phenominal sound! Would be fun to install it on a vehicle! I have subscribed to your channel.
+RonN448 thank you very much for the kind words and the sub!
+Luke Santore You're more than welcome, Luke! -Ron
You could always buy the one in this video, nobody has yet!
Luke Santore how much?
@@LukeSantore did you ever sell it?
Nice job
good job man
You are looking for something to use as a flare? .. right behind you I see at lest 2 cool looking FUNNELS. But this was a very smart build; Thanks.
That one boat in Dynamic Ship Simulator 3
You could use an old oil or transmission fill funnel. Cut it to fit your desired diameter and viola!
+watchman626331 If I can find one big enough!

Great job
Nice fabrication
Thank you
this is wonderful
I would just use a heat gun to get the PVC pipe to a shapeable temperature and put my own flare to the end of the pipe.
Very cool
for a flare you could use a vuvuzela, or a plastic 'yard of ale' with the ball cut off?
Tom G i don't think those are big enough! but i appreciate the suggestions
Nice job! My only suggestion is you need at least a 1/2" airline.
Bowtie41 and my counter argument is that the hole in the housing that the air goes through is the limiting factor! it's no larger than my 1/4" hose, so theres no sense upgrading the hose size
use a traffic cone or heat up that pvc really hot to funnel it out
I realize this was posted almost 4 years ago, but to make the flair end, I would heat the PVC and mold it into a flair shape
thought about that but you can't flare pvc out enough!
How much you charge to make one
Nice video! I want to build one of those horns.
thank you! definitely go for it man
How much is pressur in bottle?I will tray widh gas holder instead of jacuzzi pump sheet.Thank you.
Bravo! Well done!
thank you!
Nice! It has been a year has that additional flared horn piece been found?
James Wallace yep! still not finished, but I hope to complete it over summer
Hope all is well. I notice you haven't uploaded in a while. Would really love to see how this turned out and maybe a step by step so I can make one too
I just bought an old tuba to make one 😄
I dig deep pitches.
+condog42
Deep bitches in tight britches!
Is the jacuzzi face plate 2 inch im build one of these
i swear to god i bought a couch set from your dad. i recognize that house.
very cool.
thats crazy man! have you found a flair yet?
I ended up simply attaching an automotive funnel, but it's not as good as I planned
@@LukeSantore those automotive horn flare tubes are not designed for the strong low frequency sound of your horn.higher frequency needs resonating flare tubes and lower frequencies(specially like the one you created) need non resonating rigid flare tubes.good luck
Im gonna make a boat and make a ship horn like this
Okay Luke what's up, Gypsies get you again?
Can you send me plans for this?
Is it going to be close to Nathan K5? Becase K5LA 115db at 100ft.How loud is it with a funnel?The black part is not a Jacuzzi pump unit, that's a Flange.

Ive seen homemade PVC train horns with Polycarbonate diaphragms. You have train horns and you could add it there.
yessir my homemade PVC train horns do indeed have polycarbonate diaphragms, same stock as what I used for my boat horn actually
I don't know if an aggitator out of a washing machine would work for a cone or not.
how about using a traffic cone ?
Where do you find the plans for this
Can you please make a tutorial of building it? Thank you.
U could use an old cars rear DRUM Brakes. with help of a welder too.
espessure of diafragm ?????
How much to make me one and send it but one deeper and louder.
GREAT VIDEO !!!
NO UPDATE ON THE HORN ?
still no bell! but I am buying a big funnel for it when i get it back in a couple weeks
what kind of lil compressor would you have to use on a car to make that thing work?
a BIG little compressor..
Luke Santore
Hey Luke
I want one of these , but I can't find the tone.
I like your Tone
How can I get one of these , I can pay for the parts etC
unfortunately I am in college now and I don't currently have the time or resources to fabricate these horns
What about a traffic cone?
I want to make one for my bike!!
I would die if i saw that, lol
wow.. thats great.. i bet you could make main bodies out of plastic closet flanges from the hardware store.. the flange that toilets mount to in the floor. perhaps a pair of them bolted together.. .. very cool.. very loud. there are also cast iron versions that have rubber sleeves that tighten with 3 bolts to pinch the pipe.. might be easier to mount to the pipe for adjustments and fine tuning.. www.homedepot.com/b/Plumbing-Pipes-Fittings-Valves-PVC-Pipe-Fittings-Fittings-Flanges/N-5yc1vZbuvl

That would look mighty fine on my truck... Lol
Can you come clear out my trash pile? The dump truck hasn't been by in ages and it's starting to get a lil stinky. It would be much appreciated. Thanks. *said in Wisconsin accent*
I hate you
Where are you from...
2:55 is when he tests it...
Your telling about its been a long time you made a video. Why?
Can you how to make
2:56 or 2:58
would you sell these
do you sell any of these? i wanted to get a ship horn like that for my car , as have a set of real nanthan KL5A train horns for truck, but really want a ship horn ? let me know and if there is an email and maybe we can work out a deal and get one of these :)
if you can afford nathans you can afford a real boat horn! haha

so have you sold it yet?
still sitting in my garage.
Luke Santore how much do you want for it?
$250 + shipping
Still have it?
Do sale them
floridian!
I didn't learn💩 on how to make this... You should of titled this video, "Let me show you my unfinished horn" instead!
when did I say it was a tutorial? ;-)
Length of picture pipe
SMART MAN
can I buy this from you
gimme a number
tbh i'd be interested in buying one of those off you but i'm not sure how would it fair in international shipping, i live in Romania. Would you be so kind in giving me the build cost and the proffit you are looking to make on it?
Shipping to Romania would be pretty expensive lol
damn... oh well i'll just have to build my own :)
dude i need step by step..not ready made..
step by step? Okay, step one, go find a jacuzzi pump exactly like the one I have, then take it apart to only use 1 part of it... do you see the problem with that? its called a demo, not a tutorial. there are plenty of tutorials on youtube for how to make horns, including my own.... do your research
Jay Jacobs pirates!!
Pirates! Blimey! If they ask if you want to see the inside of "Davy Jones' Locker", tell them you would have to be "loaded to the gunwalls" first. Arr matey.
lemme buy it
you need a funnel : )
Luke ... good to see you back. Thought you either ran off and joined the circus or were abducted by gypsies and or et.
Never left :P
Inches?
How "professional". /sarc
The rest of the planet uses ISU (International Standard Units), might be wise to do this as well, for ... an actual professional imago?
Sell me the one you made for college $$$
I can modify it once I get it
Thanks
how much are you willing to pay? this horn is made from extremely rare parts...
