Hey guys,
I'm looking for some ideas on an elevation mechanism for this cannon/mortar I'm building. I have several ideas in mind, but thought a little input would be great. DD you posted a pic of the model 1844. I have been to home depot several times to see if I can find something similar to the hardware shown in this pic. I am considering everything from using dowel,to a 1/2 inch aluminum rod with a collar & set screw. I would prefer something threaded though. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
