Organization Form

[CannonCreator]

I made these 2 forms on microsoft word to help organize designs, cannon ideas, and all the canno dimensions, parts so that designs and shopping for parts is easier and not a big mess. I know some people like to just keep it in there head, but when your doing big proects this will help.
All you got to do is download them, and print them out. I made 1 for Pneumatic Cannons, and another for Combustion Cannons.

Combustion Form:

Pneumatic Form:

These links are off of my site, that I uploaded the files to. So anyway I hope this helps you guys organize your cannon designs. Tell me what you think.

thanks for the forms, i guess if you were to share and were a geek they would be helpful. i don't think they will ever replace picture though.

They opened fine in word and are editable. Good job Cc. I'm sure they will be usefull, you don't know how many times i.ve been in the hardware store and forgotten something because of having so much on my mind. I usely don't remember untill i'm back home, what a kicker!

Pretty nice. I'm sure this could also be used for posting with a few modifications to the chart (like for pneumatics: adverage pressure for firing.)

I suggest a mod copy them into a post and sticky it in the showcase.

[knappengineering]

this was a great idea, thanks for taking the time to make it! I just printed out like 6 of them to document all the cannons I have made(which i need to take pics of and post them in pneumatic showcase eventually)

[Modderxtrordanare]

Why?

[knappengineering]

why what?

[Modderxtrordanare]

It's a stupid idea.

I suppose I could print a bunch out and make a couple of sabots with them...that's alot more useful, but a waste of ink.

[MrCrowley]

It's not the greatest thing ever, but it sure as hell saves me from making my own

Usually I just write it on a pice of paper in a list and 'visualize' what it'll look like at the store, but this will save some people some time, no harm in it Modder, better then nothing.

Thanks for that CC.

Personally I probably wouldn't use it but i'm sure others would.
