The cannon I put together has gotten a lot of virtual ink recently, so if interested in reading about its making, take the wayback machine to here, & read forward.
If anyone has any questions about do-it-yourself cannon making, I can mebbe help, & I do have plans available...

DT, I appreciate the info there. Loved the artillery this weekend and I've been thinking about building one for a while.
Got a big lathe and some 5" stainless round.... Just need some time and motivation.
Do you fire projectiles or just blanks ? I'd like the option of projectiles, but could only conveneintly turn 1.5"D projectiles. Probably could cast anything though (buddy has a foundry, I have a CNC shop)
Wally-
It'll take projectiles, but the woods around here aren't particularly forgiving when launching.
Almost took out the wife's windshield on a ricochet...
I just usually fire wadded wet rags over the charge, rammed in tight.
(Mmmmm- CNC shop... I was a machinist in one of my lives...)
