This is my latest project, made it with Franklin<3 It was really fun working with the PVC and gluing it together and such. It has great performance, much better than my last one, and I had lots of fun shooting my old nail polish bottles. I look forward to painting soon.YAY

1" sch-40 barrel (removable)
2" sch-80 chamber
pzeizo-electric ignition

Nice canon you have there Karen. I see you got the obligatory "shoe shot" out of the way too. :lol:

We definitely know that you are a girl and you are going to be a spudder.
Because.....
1. Your foot is in the picture and its a girl's foot
2. You have the condition called "Spudder's Foot"; its where one takes a picture of their foot when taking a picture of a cannon.

EDIT: Lol, didnt catch that Gippeto, is the testosterone level to high? Jk

Its a nice cannon, damage pics needed. I an beginning to expect great things from you :)

Now that all the toenail polish comments are out of the way.... :wink:... I'm curious about the strange breech connection to the sched 80. What are you using to fit in the inside of the 2"?

I'll bet those polish bottles can dish out some pretty decent punishment...damage pics?

Nice polish color BTW.... 8)

Please dont mistake this for me hitting on you.

I wish my girlfriend was as cool as you. She loves when i show her my new cannons and she will sit and listen to me talk about stuff she doesnt understand all day long but she wont build one with me. :cry:

She likes when i tell her about pneumatic things. I explained a piston valve to her and she actually asked questions.

After explaining it i asked her if she wanted to build one with me. She simply said... "no" with a cute little smile...

Cool stuff, makes me want to build a cute lil' thing like that too :P

It looks good without the paintjob, but i'm sure you'll come up with something creative.

Interesting. I knew the pipe fit in there real well...I just hadn't made the leap to include the 1.5" spigot fittings. Great parts usage there!

Awe, thank you :)

That's good that she shows interest by asking questions and all:)
Maybe next time you can tell her you want her to help you, that it would mean a lot to you if she just helped you even if it is for a small portion of the cannon. Nice bonding time!:D
