Building beer can mortar

[Heinrich]

I want to build myself a mortar in size to shoot the concrete filled beer cans.

But have no idea where to start. Where can I start looking for drawings, and plans for them??

I need some directions please, and you guys seem pretty up to date on these items.

I'd like to try and build a carraige that looks like this.

Perhaps you should consider drinking Foster's Lager. The cans are about a quart (1/2 liter?) size. Tastes good too.

Guinness and Kilkenny also have great 500ml cans. :thumbsup:

Your right using Guinness cans would be a great way to make projectiles. :winking:

I'll need to start drinking more Guinness again.

Tell me guys, what mix of concrete do you put into the cans?

the cement i use is the "just add water" portland at the home depot. i DO NOT put rocks in it.

I would have to say quickcrete or any readymix type in a bag should do. They have very little aggregate or large rocks in them.

Just be sure to clean any and all concrete residue fron the exterior of the can or the residue will scour your bore.
