DIY foam cones

[weldman]

if you dont feel like spending $8 for a foam cone just make your own like i did.

i started out by cutting 5 2" circles out of some foam with a hotwire i built last year and then glued 5 circles into a tower...

after that i set the hotwire to cut at an angle to cut the ...um, towers into cones

they came out really well...better than i thought they would

i used a rubber type glue...hot glue just melted the foam and super glue just dissolved the foam as well

They did come out really well.

It's just that I would wonder how many cones you can buy for the
price of the hotwire machine.
