Dumb Question number 4,000,291(more or less)
« on: March 18, 2007, 02:23:34 PM »
As you can see from my little picture my main cannon needs some jewelry--- you know those rings that are on the sides of marine cannon carraiges? I need some. as the piece is 50% scale they need to be about 1" (I think) and brass would be pretty but illogical i think. But where do you find them? (the kid at "big blue" went crosseyed when i tried to discribe them!
I am building the implements in white oak with copper ends (except for the worm which is in black steel) THIS IS FUN! ;D

Len -

WELCOME to the board.  We would like to hear more from y'all - after all you are one of our sponsors!

Love to see some pictures of what you shoot (with smoke and a black powder can on the side for scale)!

Santa Dave,
I received your email but am unable to answer you through graybeard.  I get a reply that I can't post a reply.  You can reach me at len@dicannonworks.com or help me figure out how to reply to your message.
Thanks,
Len

Yep it's five post before you can use the GBO Communication network.  Keep the spammers out.  Sorry.
