cannon wheels

[grouper75]

Hey there cannon enthusiast, Does anyone know where I might be able to find plans/instructions on cannon wheel building. Thanks

At the top of the board you will find our post on Where to find Blackpowder Cannons and shooting supplies.  Under wheels you find a listing for  Wooden Whagon Wheels.  They sell instructions for making Wagon Wheels.

Ahhh the fine art of being a wheelright.

I'll look, I have a book on it, when I get back from Atlanta in a few days.

Be aware that true cannon wheels are generally not identical to typical "wagon wheels". They are generally more heavily constructed and I believe they typically had an offset as well.
