Hi Gents, I saw the thread on the 6 pounder and was impressed. So I would like to add something i built last winter. A chatter friend sent me the barrel. He made it years back out of navy brass. He went on to bigger cannons and offerd this barrel to me. I never built a cannon before, so I found some pictures to go by. Obviously it's not your regular design, I wanted it to be a little different, so I cut out small brass decorations for the sides. Not really worth the effort. It is a .50 cal cannon. Here is the youtube link to its being fired:
