I had to take a diversionary break from gettin things ready fer Hampton, this is how I spent me mornin'

Now I either gotta build a carriage or a swivel.

I'm sure it's not right .... it's wood fer cryin' out loud

Ya know I woulda called this "Quaker Guns" but Mr. Oatmeal would've thought .......

I coulda called it "got wood" but a Senator would've had somethin' ta say 'bout it ... well before 10 pm anyway

As Mick Jagger once said ...... "Please, allow me to intro ......" ooops .........

Nice!

I'll eat when I'm hungry. I'll drink when I'm dry. If the hard times don't kill me I'll lay down and die.

Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey I cry. If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die.

Sanded well with 2 coats of sanding sealer and three coats of good quality exterior matte black enamel w/400 grit in between coats and it should look like a good quality iron gun accented with a small amount of "rub-n-buff" silver :rolleyes:

Jack, that be one of you're guns on the lathe.

I've got some good thick paint.

Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty ...... Bondo fer wood!

Incredibly well made. Aye, I'm keepin' ye in mind. Been ponderin' a good faux cannon t' "train" th' tenderfoots and new recruits at events.

Hi Silas,

I'm always thinking high prices but somehow that just don't fly,

At the moment PM me for price.

BUT WAIT THERE"S MORE,

sorry, too many infomercials ....

I haven't built a carriage yet, ideas still wanderin' round lost in me skull. I do like your idea for the unfinished and the plans for the DIY type, and you'd be able to pick your own lumber for the carriage.

Lady B. thanks for the compliments ... see I'm not as Evil as ye 1st thought .... or am I?

One of my current projects, the barrel is already made and will be cast (lost wax) when the viceroy gets back in bronze. The entire piece is about the length of a heavy dragoon and is taken from original drawings/demensions. As for a lock I was hoping to get a miquelet but a normal sized pistol lock will fit beautifully. Its big brother also has the wax work done for the barrel and has a barrel that is about 18 inches long. Im planning on having both of these finished for PiP along with a couple other designs.
