If you build them, or are just curious, join us. The group has a growing
inventory of plans for blackpowder naval and field gun projects suitable for
small lathes.

This was NOT a good idea! Functional cannons in the hands of some of these
people (me included)...but, but, but....then again, we don't NEED no
stinking plans!!! My first, and sadly, last was .75" bore x 24" long.
First shot pulverized a concrete block to dust with a cast Minnie from a
wood mold. It's still in the shop someplace.

Just how much ammo was "prepared" that day? What brand was the beer can?
I smell a commercial! I used FF for my now demasculated cannon, what
propellant is right for the 3"?
