     Interesting video, night shots are pretty cool.  Looks like a nice tube on a sturdy carriage.  Can you tell us a bit about it?  Did
you machine it?  If not, who cast it?  Is it made of steel, cast iron, other?  Over all length and weight?  It has a nice shape, but from that angle it's hard to tell if it is supposed to represent some specific historical cannon.  If it does, what would that historical gun be?

Thanks for posting!

Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin'-cool,
I walks in my old brown gaiters along o' my old brown mule,
With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
It's only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets - 'Tss! 'Tss!
