5 SHOTS

a couple of years ago I decided to make this.







I started with a piece of brass bar I found in the scrap yard. The wheels are made from hobby brass and the frame is from 1/4 inch thick brass flat stock (had to anneal it to get the curve). All told there is about $6.00 spent, but 3 days work on the lathe and milling machine. One of these days I will take it out and see if it survives being fired.
sometimes I wonder....is that getting closer..... then it hits me

I had a personal conflict the other day, now I'm not speaking to myself.... I'm getting lonesome

I met the girl of my dreams, I was the man of her dreams too.....she used the term "nightmares" though.

That is nice work!! You will have to take a video of it being test fired.

What caliber did you drill it out to?

I can't remember for sure but a plain wood pencil will work good for a ramrod. I have been thinking my next project will be an oil field pumping unit, If I ever break down and order the metal.  :innocentwhistle:

That is cooool!

Yeah, get a video set up when you go to fire it.
Even if it blows up you'll still have a cool video.  :eyebrownod:

You did a very nice job on the cannon.  Unless the wheels are much stronger than they look, they will not survive the recoil.  I have a couple of small canons and they tend to go wherever they want when fired.  They are a blast (so pun intended) to shoot.
