I do Love a good bang! One of those in the workshop with the string attached to the door would be a great intruder alarm...anic:

Nice little cannon, I have been wanting to build one for years. Since you are in Medina, can I assume that the Log Cabin Shop is handy for you to have nearby ?
One of my favorite shops to visit. I have built a couple of black powder shooters with their hardware.

All the best,

I live 10 min from the log cabin shop. I buy my nipples there but I make all the hardware myself.
