Dom,

 Nice work and videos! On a side note, the Rev. cannon video. It sure looks like and acts Bob Jr. firing it. Is it him or just someome who looks like him?

The barrel in the video was built for me by Dominick, and the quality is outstanding. I'm still in the process of building the carriage and hope to have it up and firing soon.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have learned alot from just reading and searching this forum and no I'm not done learning. It has provided me everything I needed to build my 1/2 scale parrott. To answer the question, no this is not my first piece although it is my first build. I also have a small golfball howitzer that I obtained from Wildimports years ago also one of Dom's golfball Dictator's. I cannot say enough about how good Dominick is to deal with he is also a true artist and a great asset to this sport. When I am done with my build I will post pictures.

Thanks
Robert
