Beautiful gun. It truly looks amazing. Your combustion was good, but in my opinion, this is much better (i'm biased toward pneumatics though...)

This is kind of offtopic, but where/how did you learn to weld? I am considering learning, and do not really know where to start to gather some information

Is it just me, or are you randomly placing the term 'yer' throughout your post?

Anyway, nice gun. I can't see the welds very well, but was this just fusion, or did you use filler? Wish I had stainless steel in cheap abundance around here, welding teacher says if he can get the metal for a pulse jet for under one hundred we can TIG up a pulse jet.

Rmich, I personally have it offered at my school. I don't know of any companies willing to teach you either if your under 18. Best bet would to find a friend that has welders you can use. Although I personally only know of two friends that have TIG welders. Most people have arc, flux-core, or MIG welders. I'm going to try, and TIG up a gun before the end of the year, although my teacher is all paranoid about making cannons.

EDIT-
As the poster below me noted, please cut-back on the slang, and mis-spelled words. Very hard to understand.

Nice Gun!

It is one of the nicest looking metal cannons i have seen, and I'm sure it will be the nicest as soon as you can weld again.

I'm sorry that you broke your hand, and good luck with completing the gun!

Awesome gun!! I'm sure it will even look better as soon as your hand has healed. I like the stainless steel and all! Keep up the good work!
