Hi all
The name is simple... it shoots spuds froma 1.5" barrel (I can think of anything better)
This is my first cannon.
It's a basic cannon with a wooden handle.
From what I could see in my dusk test it shot across the yard (aprox 200')
NOTE: the pics are sooo out of order... I can't get them fixed.

Very nice, it looks pretty clean. I like the wooden handle. Might I suggest propane metering next?

nice handle, it could use some paint, and id recomend a neater tape job, or plumbers tape(metal straping that tightens with a screw assembly). oh, and please take 30 seconds to remove the white price stickers from your assembly pieces, i really like the look of the gun, but the stickers just make the appeal dive. otherwise great job
You did a good job on the trigger handle...the cannon as whole however is rather sloppy....probably one reason it stopped working for you.
It's a reasonable effort for your first try. However, don't waste time repairing it, just start over with your next improved model.
