Hello, This guy lives in a neighoring town. http://www.geocities.com/Neffcannons/ His work is top notch. I've talked to him several times. I thought others might like to see his cannons. maybe CW could add it to the list.

Thanks Powder Keg - good site!  It's been added.
Let him know we've posted his site and (I for one) like his workmanship!

Hi. Yes, he is using Green's plans. I managed to talk him out of copies of what he had. They are hard to come by.  Does anybody know if they are still available? I've searched the web several times and found nothing.

William Green died several years ago.  Jimmie Waits a regular here who died last year had contacted the family to see if they were interested in selling the rights to the plans.  They weren't.

There are several people here who have the plans.  Im sure some one will offer you a set, it you tell us which gun you are looking for.
