any members here make cannons?

[soimcrazy]

anyone here make simple cannon barrels? I'm not looking for brass or anything fancy, just something that will hold up to some shooting !! I've got a 11.5" long w/ .75" bore now. I want something bigger and louder. Let me know if you can make something.

We will be making a variety of parts for artillery;  Capsquares, locks, those fancy nuts for carriages, pendulum hausse's?

Parts for live steam engines; side rods (trains) valve gear linkages and whatever there is a need for.

AAAmunitions
Ammunition for the new millennium means politically correct ammunition that will not fire, and is intended for the use of historians and collectors for exhibition. There is no live ammunition manufactured.  All rounds are fixed (this includes the projectile strapped to the sabot  and tied to the powder bag), and ready to load with one exception, they are "inert". Parts & Equipment - includes: rammer heads, slaplocks, lanyards, sponge heads, worms, lead shot of various sizes, sights, elevating wheels, and other hard to find items. If you need it, I probably can find or at least tell you where to find it or how to make it.

soimcrazy-as one of the GBO Sponsors, DD and CW are steering you right. We work hard to build good SAFE barrels. You can look at "backyard cannon fun" and see a lot of what we build.

     The other Sponsors here, the barrel makers, are my competitors, and they all build first class product. I have learned something from each of them. The information and experience available here on GBO from the Sponsors and members is phenomenal.

When it comes to cannon, our reputation is SOUND!
