E-dawg!!!

Good lookin' iron! Great ironwork too. I really like the way the wheels turned out. They look a little wide, but I'm sure that will pay off when put on the ground (as opposed to the decking of a ship).

Let the smoke roll!

The wheels are 4" diameter by 2 1/4" wide.

Looks good my friend, looks good!

Are you going to paint the hardware black?

The next picture you post should be of smoke and fire belching out of the muzzle!!

Hey Evil Dog.....nice looking set-up. I really like the wood work. Just wondering if you have a set of plans for the carriage?? If so, where in the world did you find them. I'd be very interested in making one, actually just attempting to make a carriage as nice as yours. I'm not a wood worker so it'd most likely be short on looks. Have you fired it yet and if so, will you be posting some pictures soon?? Thanks. Blaster (Bob in CO)

Hi Bob,

Sorry, I don't have actual plans for this particular carriage. It was made mostly by looking at a picture of a cannon that I liked and then going from there.

I do however have plans for a very similar naval carriage. Send me a "private message" with your mailing info and I will be glad to send them to you.

No, haven't had a chance to fire this one yet but am really looking forward to doing so within the next couple of weeks.
