My brothers new toy

(1/2) > >>

Ironhand:
I took my brother to the Kalamazoo show this weekend. He came home with a cannon.  Gulf ball size bore (1 pounder?). Now we need to make/buy a carriage and equipment.

Any one have suggestion?

Also, how do I shoot the thing and still retain all of my body parts?

Spotted Bull:
Find someone in your area that knows about cannons. Look up artillery reenactors in your area. Find someone that can show you the proper and safe loading and care of a cannon. If not we may hear about you in the papers...in the obituary section.

Try these guys. Looks like they know what they are doing...

Cool...what is the provenance on that lil thang?  Signal cannon?

Ironhand:
It is new manufactured. Steel lined and rated to 90, 000 psi. Closest historical example I can find is an English ships cannon. Can anyone give me some historical info on this type of cannon?
 
Thanks
