Here is a neat thing I don't think I have ever seen before.

The guy who made it wanted to use a Reynolds fiber bell with a King brass Sousa.
What do you folks think of this?

Cool!
Here's an adapter I made a while back to make a convertible helicon/sousa...
A little farther down on the page from that image is a segment about a neat little 'ring roller' I bought at Harbor Freight for making those gizmos.

Thanks for posting that Dan. I have a rain catcher in my shop right now and I think I might try to make one of those for this customer. He would really like that.

These really need to be made of brass.
