I hadn't seen any posts on this and when I saw the article in their magazine I found it interesting that they were casting their own cannon. The pics from the mortar casting were fascinating to see it done that way. Have any of you cast a cannon or mortar?

I've never cast anything, other than lead balls and bullets, but that is a very interesting link! I especially enjoyed the video of the actual casting of the mortar. Emery
