Yard sale cannon

[gunluvver]

Here's some pics of a 2" cannon I picked up at a yard sale in my neighborhood a couple of years ago. It was rusty and in parts, but the blasting cabinet and some paint brought it back to life. I use it on New Years and the 4th of July as a big noisemaker. I haven't fired projectiles yet, but give me time. Whoever built it put many hours of machine work in it, even the swivel caster was hand made. The elevation screw and block, and the bolts were the only shelf items on it. The best part? It cost $10!

Here kitty kitty! :haha:

Well, it's not PC, but who cares? For $10 you got a bargain. Look at all the thought and work that went into it! Not to mention materials.... Looks like a lot of fun is going to be happening soon. Emery

Looks like fun.
Why do cats INSIST upon doing that sort of thing? They must have great faith in Bastet to preserve their nine lives.

That cat will lay in the middle of the street with no regard for cars coming. It also faces off with the neighborhood Great Dane and wins.
