    Deck Gun Completed. Thanks

    No I have not fired it yet. I'm waiting for some wet weather. I'm in Utah and everything is scary dry. I was told to put four or five tire weights in one end of the can before putting in the cement and shoot the heavy end forward and that will keep it from tumbling. It is a little over a half...

    Cannon Kit Question??

    Mule Brain Thanks again, I think I will take your advice. What about the ratios for the thickness of the barrel wall that is needed for the diameter of the projectile? You know of any charts or info on that?

    Mule Brain, Thanks for the link. So what hardness value would be needed to use for a barrel? If you read what I wrote above the pictures I posted you can see that the tolerances of the inner and outer barrel are so close that they can only be assembled with a torch so I really don"t want to...
