Hi,
I have a plan.
I have assignments each year with salute the national day.
Now I plan to build a very large thundermug that will be very similar to a mortar.
outside diameter 335mm 380mm depth of drilling and 110mm inside.
overall height 500mm. steel st52.
What you think about this.
Should be good salute.
Mvh

Oyvind

Unless I converted wrong, this thing will be about 20" tall, 13 1/2" dia, bore 15" deep, inside dia 4 1/2"...these are approximate, but you can see it's BIG!

That's more of a thunder KEG instead of a thunder mug!

It will take a lot of powder and make a lot of noise.
