Vern, you can't be a man until you show us pics of the cannon.

Don't forget the powder can in the picture for the scale.
I may not be completely sane, but at least I don't think I have the power to influence the weather.

Ordering the barrel is easy... the carriage will be fun.

Going traditonal, or something simpler?

I am trying to go traditional if I can find a supplier of small wooden wagon wheels.

I tried to find a can of powder for scale but couldn't find one.

Vern;

Nice looking tube. What's the bore on that baby or did I not read everything?
