Hi Double D
I have rough turned a steel barrel for a 3” Parrott and am still trying to work out how to drill the bore, although I won’t be allowed to fire it.
As you can see in the photo’s, the trunnion’s are finished and ready to be screwed into the barrel.
Yes I am going to build the wheels my own wheels. I have machined the felloes oversize so that when I fit the spokes and everything comes together I can finish turn the wheels to size.
Zulu,
Yes I made the Axle, in fact I made the steel Axle in three parts with an Oak trough over the steel.
