I like it! did you do the carriage or did Ed make it too? Need fire and smoke, watch out for recoil with that one.

That looks great, and beefy enough to shoot metal "golf balls".  Nice garrison wheels too.  Good Idea for cap squares.

Ed did the build and soon as it warms up a bit I'll get the fire and smoke pic but not going to do it when the wind chill is below Zero hahaha....
It rolls real easy so ya its going to move when the smoke leaves the barrel,I will use a 200grn load in tinfoil packed in with a slice of bread for my 1st live fire...Need to find a piece of brass welding rod in my garage for priming wire..

 Looks to be a bullet-proof-no-nonsense cannon that could still be in use 100 years from now.  :)
