Well that's a nice family photo for a first post! Welcome!
Hope we'll see some photo's with fire & smoke,
you have accomplished quite a bit in a short time, including the carriage
did you build your wheels? or did you buy them?

     They are all very, very nice.  Great looking guns!  Do you by any chance have any in-process photos? How about some close-ups of that Parrott carriage?

Regards, Tracy and Mike

Beautiful!!! And stainless steel too...

I have a thing for stainless, but haven't tried to machine a barrel out of it (yet). I do use a lot of stainless hardware.

Welcome. As first posts go, yours is a winner!



Hmmm... A cannon, and two mortars?

Now why didn't I think of that?

;D

Terry, the stainless that I use is 416, the same type used for gun barrels. I was able to get several hundred pounds several years ago of various sizes up to 4 1/16" dia. The were drops from deep well pump shafting and heat treated to 110,000 yield. The stuff machines like butter. or like 12L14.  Jim
