Looks mean as hell. I like it and appears to be of high quality workmanship.
Sweet! Bore? Fired it yet?
Thanks!
Coaches Club billiard ball barrel (swapping American Cannons golf ball barrel), Zoro wheels, trunnions from "27chevywithseat" on eBay, a lot of oak boards, glue, and my wood shop. It turned out better than I thought.
This is the 2nd BP cannon I've made. The first was 30 years ago for a Father's Day gift, and it's still running strong:
Looking forward to taking it out to the boonies and punching some holes in . . . . stuff !

I have one of the coaches club billiard ball cannons. Has proven to be excellent quality and strength. Quite the crowd pleaser. Nice jobe there on your build for sure!
Well, I know the bore perfectly fits a mini-can of soda, so I hear people cut off the tops and fill 'em with all sorts of pellets, bbs, marbles, and "shotgun" whatever is within 50 feet in front of it. So, some bait, a friction primer, a really long lanyard, and... yeah, I could vaporize a squirrel !Are you taking it out for squirrel season??
This is the Coaches Club billiard ball barrel which I powdercoated black:

I also bought an American Cannon's golf ball barrel and made some new screw-in trunnions for it to match the diameter of those on the billiard ball barrel so swapping is easy:

The powder coating turned out really nice, but I think I'll wrap the wheels with a layer of 1/8" rubber since the surface obviously won't hold up to rolling around on concrete or gravel.

It's still a virgin right now, but I hope to head north soon to hear it roar!
