These are drawings I copied off this forum and the net. I am just tryiny to get them gathered together in one location.

















As I get the time I will add the other 30 I have.
I don't know who the authors are on any on them, so if you recognize your work feel free to add a reply with any data about your work you want to part with.

The drawing with the green images comes from the bottom of http://lassengunsmithing.com/html/specproj.htm.  The second pair (the carronade/gunnade) originally came from the USS Constitution web site but is no longer available there (I have a copy on http://mysite.verizon.net/gfg/images/ConstitutionCarronade2.jpg.  The pastel Coehorn below comes from http://mysite.verizon.net/gfg/images/Coehorn.GIF.

I hope that this will save people from having to search the complete forum for drawings.

The golf ball Coehorn "kit" at the top above is from <a href=&quot;http://68.190.219.22:443/images/golfballcoehorniii.gif&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;>http://68.190.219.22:443/images/golfballcoehorniii.gif[/url].   Be careful with the dimensions here; for example, the muzzle ring ID is shown as 2.004" while the barrel is shown as 2.000".  The two rings are supposed to be a heat shrink fit on the barrel.  Likewise, the breech plug is a press/heat shrink fit inside the barrel.

The Coehorn sled mount above is from http://mysite.verizon.net/gfg/images/SledMount.GIF.

The fourth one above with the barrel and mount drawings is from Round Shot and Rammers and is available at <a href=&quot;http://68.190.219.22:443/images/gribeauvalmortar2.gif' target=&quot;_blank&quot;>http://68.190.219.22:443/images/gribeauvalmortar2.gif[/url].

Here is the link to the page I created a while back.  It has pictures, drawings and descriptions of some of the pieces IÂ’ve built.  I hope others find it useful.  

Cannon and Mortar Drawings

[accuratemike]

My drawing of the "Yorktown" mortar ( http://www.huntingpictures.net/data/529/199SP32-20060312-132119.jpg ) is something I threw together from pics at Cannon-Mania. I did it so I could post it here for feedback. GGaskill identified it more accurately as a Gribeauval and posted the aforementioned drawings of one. I then scaled these drawings and posted the better drawing in the "10" Gribeauval mortar drawing" thread.



I think it would be better to work from this one.
Both are listed in the "Safe Loads and Cannon Plans" sticky: http://www.graybeardoutdoors.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=89682
The more I think about it, maybe this whole thread belongs there. (?)
Either way, my library of plans has grown extensively as a result of these threads
Enjoy, MIKE
