Building a 1/3 sale Napoleon
« on: March 24, 2008, 01:08:33 AM »
Barrel is turned from solid EN8 steel. Diameter at breech is 110mm. Barrel weight is 18kg.

Carriage is made from African rosewood. Carriagework still needs to be made from mildsteel.

Busy with the spoke work and hubs. Still got a long way to go.

DD, I would have loved to, but since the budget is a bit tight and the upcoming Blackpowder shoot in Colesberg just four weeks later I will have to skip this year, but who knows, maybe i'll be there in 2009.  ;D

 ;D ;D ;D ;D For both the Sharks and Bokke.
