Hi All,
This one is the largest of the ones I usually make and sell here on . Noticeably the cannon is longer and the wheels are larger the rest of the carriage and fitting are also beefed up. Quite a bit heavier as well.The Specifics :This is a 8 inch brass black powder cannon milled from solid brass stock. 3/8-inch bore plus windage drilled to 7 1/4 inches. 1/8-inch touch hole located 3/4 inch from the back. 1 1/4 inches in diameter at the breach tapering to just over 7/8 inches just before the muzzle just behind the first support ring. Trunnions are 1/2 inch brass. Wheels are cast iron and 4 3/8 inches in diameter. Length of cannon and carriage is 12 inches width is 6 1/2 inches height is 5 1/2 inches. The carriage is made of stained and antiqued Oak with brass and iron fittings. The angle of the barrel is adjustable via the 14/20 screw as seen in the pictures. The 3/8 inch bore is reamed by a small amount for windage. Weight of Cannon and carriage is 3 lb. 14 oz heave and sturdy.
This is one of a kind out of my head and reminiscent of a Civil War cannon.The length of the carriage makes it more like a M1841 12 lb. cannon. The only part that I did not make are the wheels. Everything is done on a mill and a lathe including and up to the nuts on the end of the axle. The barrel is made from solid brass. This probubly the nicest cannon I have made to date, certainly the largest.
This is being sold as a noise maker per policy. Ask questions. The purchaser is responsible for knowing the local laws and ordinances. The seller takes no responsibility for the use of the product. It will make an impression at any celebration. They are loud when loaded with FFG Black Powder 10 grains and a wad of wool or grass. Again, being sold as a noise maker. Do not use Smokeless Powder and do your homework.
