A friend of mine has a Cornish Dipping Lugger (sailboat) which apparently was a favourite design of smugglers. They had a transom mounted small cannon to fire over the stern. He has wanted one for ages but they are very expensive. They look like this
So I thought I would have a go at making one.
A couple of disposable gas bottles
A bit of 13mm bar bent round the end to try and get a bit of shape
car body filler to fair the shape
band of flat bar for more shape
Hazel log on table saw jig
"turned" a handle
primed
20mm round bar for the staff and an old horseshoe for the curved support
Cheers
Colin
