At first my mind went to some ideas to help it. But after a moment of thought my suggestion is a nice place in the living room would be best for it. Do not recommend firing it. But it looks kind of neat and you own a replica cannon at a low cost, good luck. And I should have said welcome aboard.

My vote is for picture 6, nice photo.

Zulu, If only one person is to comment glad it is you. Your postings have shown with great pictures the Master Pieces you have made. Your work is impeccable and I admire your accomplishments. This is one of your postings and I can really see the time and work involved. So for you to give a...

Guilty of playing around with the hobby machines in the basement. That block of cold roll steel that was left over from the project “My New Cannon Barrel” needed to be made into something. After all they had the same DNA.

The cannon was probably much louder in person. I'm guessing the person counting down was working the camera and his voice shut down the mike from recording the cannon sound accurately. Cannon did kick slightly and maybe it could have been loaded a little hotter. This is one heck of a nice...

I also agree, but possibly since the person firing will have hold of the handle giving support it may stay under control. Have never fired this kind of gun so not sure how a 1 inch bore would react. Would be cool to see in action.

While this type of cannon is not my greatest like. I prefer Artillery and Naval Cannons including Mortars best. But your firing stand and or display stand looks very nice. Nice work, for sure. And it shows off well.

Being a machinist and selling your goods can be tough to do. Picking your product is very important. It is so easy to rack up the hours in making that it seems almost like your giving your time away. Making a complete cannon and carriage is time consuming. But I am sure you know that now as with...

Well your a good friend. Nice work, take a picture of the cannon mounted if possible.

Steve, Welcome to the cannon forum. The picture of your builds is very nice. Look forward to your stories and achievements in making model cannons. Yours look very nice, do you fire them also.

I see nothing wrong with using this mortar. Looks real nice. The wood base looks good to me also, I would take some 3/16 steel strap and have it extend 2 inches beyond trunnions and attach to base. Since you say it is made of steel and has a small chamber it sounds good with 90 grs and should...

You need a plan. Start with a paper and pencil and try and list what type and style rifle you want. Select a kit that is on the easier side and buy it. Then take another sheet of paper and list your steps needed. Take your time and enjoy your new job. So many people think that now it is a race...

If you have some extra space in your home for odd pieces. This Rube Goldberg Cannon might look unique. But the price of $850 Please $85 would be if you really want it. By the way it is not the real deal.

Looks like a Million Bucks, great job and pictures.

Thanks for updating, This is a wonderful thread for cannon builders. Really shows the dedication and skills involved. Nice pictures.

Why not just put a price on the very nice cannon and list it for sale? No cost to list or sell on forum. Start price might be high but maybe you will get offer that would be acceptable.

The angle on the vent hole looks to new and the trunnions look suspicious. But there does seem to be some numbers on the breach just behind the vent hole. But you need to remember I am just guessing on my part. It would be nice if I was wrong. We need some more help.

I am far from a expert, but my guess, it is not the real deal. Looking forward to other people giving information. It is a nice little piece, so can see it being bought.

Making hammers is definitely a test of your skills. In trying to understand your desire, If hammers for this gun were not available to purchase I also would want to make the replacement hammers also. Having made so many items out of tool steel O-1 that is what I would use probably. I offer this...
