Last Summer the owner of the green house in town-two mi. down the highway from me stopped me and asked me if I wanted to build him two cannons--His last name is Cannon and He and his wife put up one of those nice thirty ft. aluminum flag poles and now he wants to put a civil war type cannon on each side of the pole. He came out today and I showed him my plans and he was happy with what I thought up. I bought some thirty ft. tapered street light poles years ago from a salvage/junk yard and we both think they will work.
I am open for suggestions on how to saw the tapered pipe and get it straight--one end is eight and the other is seven inches in diameter . I tried that trick I saw on those car restoration shows where they take tape and go around the pipe but did not work very good--got the cuts crooked--any suggestions--I can hardly lift the small end and the big end is worse--won't fit in the saw so have to spin them as I cut it--Thanks
We agreed on a six ft. barrel
I had two different kinds of wheels out back in a snowbank so
I brough them up with the loader and he chose the ones in front. They are 32 inched tall--I wish they were ten inches taller..
