what wrong with having a cannon ? I have one myself that I working on getting ready for the 4th. 1.25 bore. naval bronze and about 18 inches long. going to show those guys with their 1/2 inch bore ones up with this baby ! everyone should have one !
I wonder how many people know what can be done with modern ultra high pressure steel tubing? Especially the stuff used in the oil patch and which can be obtained all over the place for very little money. Likewise, how many know that a .5 inch ball bearing fits pretty well perfectly into that tubing in .5 inch? In 1962 my dad was a stationary engineer working in the Canadian oil patch and he knew those things.
He was working on a 2 inch model when he came to his senses. My brothers and I did play with the half incher for years though, until we put a 'Steelie' right through the garage - 2 walls of shiplap wood siding, plywood sheathing, insulation and drywall, and dad took it away. I still have it in my shop somewhere because dad gave it to me when my first son was born.
Note the plates.
ReplyDeleteAnd that definitely discourages tailgaters on the freeway.
I probably should've captioned it "Headed to the gun-buyback" then, huh?
DeleteI call bullshit on that. That's a Commiefornia plate. Unpossible!!
ReplyDeleteWhat, there are no Gun Owners of California???
DeleteThat reminds me, I need to send them a check, while I still have some money.

I like cannons.
No doubt the owner of the cannon has an F-15 in his one-fighter-plane garage.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a few glances to realize. I was thinking, who gets a pink Ram?
ReplyDeleteIt's white. Look towards the front.
