    Ya can get an idea of what they can look like and how the work from these sites. Mine looks better, The cannon itself is a different shape and I put some sand in the flat black paint to give it an aged texture look and used some pewter hammered spray paint in spots to make it look a bit more like metal. I also added handles on the top. I havn't started the carrige yet, but mine will look more like a naval gun carrige, with the elevaton notches on the side brass fittings and rope. I will also stain the wood. That project is for this weekend. And yes william ya be knowin me to well Im a tease. I promise I'll post pics of the cannon as well as me new hat. :lol:

  2. This be a carbide cannon. Not black powder. You can be making one fer less than a hundred dubloons from bits from your local hardware store. Looks pretty good too. :lol:

  3. So I’ve been building a cannon and the barrel is completed. Well yesterday them ammo came in the mail. I should have waited until the carriage was built, but I couldn’t resist a test fire. I wasn’t sure how loud it would be or if it would actually work for that matter, or if it did work, would I blow myself up. I’ve been blown up before and I have to say I didn’t really like it all that much and wouldn’t recommend it, trust me its not as cool as it looks. But that’s a different story. So I really didn’t want it to happen again and I wasn’t really sure about this thing considering I got the plans of the internet. Well, I got it all set up to fire and when I lit it. KABOOM!!!! . :lol: A muzzle flash about the size of me shot out of the barrel and the blast left a ringing in my ear. I was so stoked that it actually worked and I didn’t end up killing myself. THIS THING IS THE COOLEST THING EVER AND ITS LOUD AS SHIT, HAHA I HAVE A CANNON, my neighbors are gonna hate me.

  4. I just got my captain jack style hat from Captain Jacks Pirate Hats yesterday and I just had to say Oh My God. These hats are beautiful to be hold. The professionalism, quality and time that he must have put into these hats are phenomenal they truly are works of art. Every dubloon was well spent on this buy. I would recomened them to any of you out there. He has the last say when it comes to pirate style hats. I'll post pics later this week. :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

  5. Next one is gona be a tall ship on me fore arm.

    On the forearm it will hardly do the beauty of such a ship justice. One of our sailors had a three mast full rigged ship across his chest. Now that was something!

    Its not gonna be the side veiw. Its an old traditional style tall ship frontal view. Something like these.
