A friend has caught the bug.........
« on: June 18, 2011, 02:22:44 PM »
This should be a warning to all who view this site or hang around people who shoot or collect cannon.....
It can be contagous.... A friend of mine who doesn't like going on forums is letting me post some photo's
of his work, he started building pocket artillery......



This little fellow shoots bb's and his 7 year old son named it GNAT





This one shoot no.3 buck his son named it SKEETER




This one he found an antique barrel in a shop and turned it into a Swivel gun







This is an antique Cheeroot cane that a friend loaned him so he could take
measurements and photo's





And this is one he build for a friend who is just getting a cast taken off a broken foot.



This is the last little cannon he built sorry for no quarter for scale I didn't take the photo's

He has an iron gun in the works in 50 cal,

all of them shoot and he is having fun building them.

Tell your friend that those are very nice ! 8) .

He kinda looks like he is already 'bitten the dust' as far as making goes .....

Tell him to lurk for awhile and see what he thinks ?????

He has internet access at work and limited time otherwise
I think he would be here talking about his creations himself.

If the time situation changes and he is willing, I think the group would benefit from having another craftsman in our midst.

I really like Skeeter! Your friend has more patience than I do with small fiddly things.
