1/2 inch bore.

Thank you for welcoming me.
I been in to cannons for years. I just never thought about a forum to read. My last cannon ( Looks more like a WW2 morter)  has 32 inch length and  a 2" bore. I use to start running races with that. What fun that was. I think I'll just make noise with this one. I have about 10 feet of fuse where can I buy more?
My next project is a old morter as in civil war type.

Well I'm nearly finished. I haven't fired it yet. We have very low temps and a foot of snow and a ill wife. but I will soon. I have not mounted the trunnion straps yet. I'm still thinking about the best way.  In the mean time I starting a new project a coehorn cannon / morter I found the diagram and pictures here.

I finished up my Small cannon and test fired it today. I use a very small load with no wadding just for the test.
I started a Macro Cannon last night. I found this brass thingy in the basement and drilled it out more added a fuse hole.
I tested it this morning also. Now  I'm building the base for it. More to come ...
