My new cannon project
« on: June 13, 2009, 04:46:44 PM »
Well she is coming along fine for a rookie builder, I got the elevation screw from Dominick today and installed it Great job he did for me building it!...(yea it is a plug but he does great work) I got the axle cap put on and the trailer ring too.....I am tired! The Texas heat here is so bad a saw a coyote chasing a rabbit and they were both walking...........smile. Anyway just thought some one might want to see it...nothing great but it will be a nice shooter....KA-BOOM!!

Looks like it's coming together real good.  It's always good to see pictures of new builds in progress.
Thankyou for the update.

You could shoot a gopher but you wouldn't be able to eat it....The barrel is in the garage (my shop) with wet paint.... added a pic before the black I used, I am not a professional builder by any means......I just like to make noise...Thanks....

Centermass, thanks for posting the pic of the barrel, it's a looker. What's the OAL, and the bore size of the tube?

28" long with a 3" OD and a 1 1/4" ID....Makes a very loud bang for your bucks...Almost finished with the metal work on the barrel mounts. Will post when done.......... ;D Oh I had to change the barrel mounts too due to the test shots bent them. I cut out places for the truinnions to fit into the wood so that shouldn;t happen again..live and learn........BUT MOST OF ALL>>>>>>REMEMBER!

Great carriage. I am about to post pics of our new cannon. The barrel is pretty much mounted but we are waiting on wheels.
