The Finished Product

Piccies

The cannon is coming on nicely, just waiting the wheels.  Lots of flash as can be seen in the first pics, but that cleaned off ok, and after a trip to the industrial sand blaster we have, it looks nicely uniform all round.

Week 2

I know I was reporting daily, but its been a busy week, and I have not had the time!  Long story short, 2 days of rather boring lectures detailing more procedures, safety and sand, followed by 3 days of cast making in the foundry.  We haven't smelted yet, that begins on Monday, but we are making a rather natty looking cannon, so watch this space for another update.
