Post subject: | my cannon SAGA.......... |
After roy fixed me up with some wonderfully made roundells, i have started the putting her together.... ![]() these are the metal "spacers" that are black thingies between the wood cheeks and tailpiece...they help with the lateral recoil forces when the cannon fires. The amish fellow did a great job in makeing the first of te steel capping pieces...BUT, he thought i needed some screw holes to hold it the wood!!?? so he drilled little hole all over the pieces....*sigh*....i pointed out the 1/2 bolt holes in the wood....THAT is what will hole the metal strapping in place...*AHEM***i wish i spoke german sometimes!!! not to worry...i will get them holes welded up, then grind them smooth...THEN drill the 1/2 bolt holes......and then start on the attachment pieces~ slow but sure!!!!! ![]() ![]() current weight to date:75lbs~ my baby is growing! |

that will be beautiful , i know from where you speak reguarding the $ lately - its that time of year isnt it ? im also tuned into the future sale , it makes sence to get the winfall out of it , and that would be a bugger to store , but do set it up and fire it a bit first - you know proof it and sight it in and all that ![]() |

I thought you were supposed to build 3 at once so you can keep one and sell 2 and turn a bit of profit.while still having yours paid for.... |

build 3 and keep 1?....i don'y have THAT many cuss-words! there is ALOT to building/doing this project!....i have learned a bunch about wood/metal scaling/fitting~ and there's more to come. the thing is getting heavier and heavier to lug around, turn over etc....but it is fun to use big wrench's on my 'gun' project ![]() and yes....i will shoot it when done, as i have a few pounds of powder and fuse~~~and pool balls, ans 6 STEEL cannon balls.... ![]() we will see what the 'penetration' will be of a 2" cannon ball.............. ![]() but how to mount a scope on it may pose a problem........ ![]() lookie here: http://www.steencannons.com/ |
