I have been following this build rather quietly but this thing is awesome. Definitely making some progress and getting closer to the finished product. Can't wait for the video!
Been following since the first post. Very cool project. I recently saw a cannon competition on a show featuring the North/South Skirmish Association. Some of those cannons were pretty accurate. I'd like to see your cannon fire. Any test fire dates yet?
I wonder if the shockwave would be enough to make it jump off the barrel though. Plenty of metal places to stick it. You could even glue a thin layer of leather over it it make it look period correct.Great idea... I think I will do just that... I can stick it to the bottom of the barrel when not in use and it will never be seen
