Building a Historic Cannon Replica: The Carriage. FarmCraft101

[@TheLexiconDevils]

Wasn’t it meant to fire? From what I remember in the casting videos

[@YoutubeAccountName]

Yes, but if I remember correctly, there were some issue in the casting, and there are dents/cavities on the inside wall, which means it would probably break if fired.

[@wolf359loki]

What a waste of my time! I was wtching for all these videos to see him fire the thing? Why do all those test and recasting if you were not even going to fire it??

[@BrapMan]

@@wolf359loki Yeah I agree, I thought he'd at least have the nuts to fire it once, even with a lighter load of powder or an undersized ball to reduce the pressure

[@donjohnson5424]

I'd be willing to bet it will fire and he just had to claim it's a non-functioning replica since KZbin has rules against showing how to manufacture a firearm.

[@davidwagner7179]

@@donjohnson5424 haha but this is technically not a firearm

[@donkidd7863]

Just found your channel and Sir, I now live vicariously through you. I wish I had the skills, tools, and knowledge! Well done.

[@Osmiculture]

I am absolutely gobsmacked and in total admiration of what you've built and achieved! You have such a diverse set of skills... and your editing skills have made this a real pleasure watching, from the melting of the materials to the finished look. Thank you for sharing this!

[@tonylalama3803]

Burning the wood was the perfect choice for finishing. The carriage looks great next to the barrel. Great work!

[@matthewkessler1643]

I have a number of cannons that my grandfather built, I believe they are aluminum bronze. It was a lot of fun to watch the process and think of the time and hours he spent making them. Awesome content, and the quality of the videography keeps getting better and better - well done!

[@ferway6295]

The finish on that looks amazing!!! Awesome work!

[@fmbfla]

love the way you and TOT have super human strength and sharp scissors and straight edge bolt cutters

[@xxtrengt8871]

Cutting the steel rod "This Old Tony style" was pretty fun :)

[@berkoskilandscaping4247]

Wow, that scorching and oiling of the carriage came out awesome!

[@curtismurrell4995]

absolutely incredible work, truly a pleasure to watch you work. Your skill set in second to none. Great work on the cannon.

[@nightwingzero8905]

I admire your dedication and patience throughout this project, well done.

[@murderbeam9614]

That looks absolutely gorgeous. I was clenching my teeth during the torching, but after the linseed seal, it looks - dare I say - better than a stain.

[@patscopat]

That is a beautiful cannon! Outstanding work. Thank you.

[@danbasham9207]

Your level of patience far exceeds my own. Mad skills, fun to watch this series.

It turned out to be a beautiful Cannon. I watched all the videos in this series.

[@keithbrown2458]

When it comes to burning the wood I love the idea I’ve done it before I’ve deeply burned wood and then took a wire brush to it to bring out the grain makes it looks ancient and beautiful

[@MrMattumbo]

Really top-notch editing on this one, it was a joy to watch! I think the torched finish turned out great btw!

[@Concorde4711]

Next Videos: - Cast your own canonballs - How to make gunpowder - Fireing canon replica - Holy shit it exploded - How to patch your wounds Seriously: Amazing videos. But i'm still concerned about the defects in the barrel. Especially the amount of small voids.

[@Gibblegobblegoob]

Black powder is really low pressure compared to smokeless he'd be just fine firing it

[@spvillano]

@@Gibblegobblegoob my thought exactly, it's not as if he'd be firing a military load in it and if he's *that* uncomfortable, he could sleeve the barrel as he discussed in a previous video.

[@56815]

Don't think making gunpowder would be allowed on KZbin even though it isn't that hard to make if you buy the tree components.

[@phillhuddleston9445]

Those are the voids that you can see, what about the internal hidden voids that may be there? Unless he gets it x-rayed the only way to know if there are any hidden major voids is if it comes apart upon firing :(

[@thevancouverguy]

@@56815 Are you serious? of course you can, there are tons of videos already. hell there are videos for much much more dangerous chemical synths. this is youtube , not kiddietube

[@pyromen321]

The torch finish looks great! I’m glad that worked out so well!

[@AReasonablePerspective]

One of the most enjoyable (if not thee) builds I have ever watched and torching it was proper ballsy. It looks awesome.

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

That's stunning. After putting so much time and effort into this, I think you should take the final step and line the barrel with steel so you can fire it. 1/4" wall thickness would be perfectly adequate, because the liner will be supported on all sides by the brass. If you do, be sure to make the liner out of solid bar stock. It's possible to use DOM tubing or similar, but that involves a separate breech plug, which is a janky way of doing it and will probably end up becoming dangerous after a while (whether welded or threaded, it provides places for corrosion to accumulate). If you bore out a liner from solid stock, the cannon will last indefinitely as long as it is cleaned properly after firing. If you do line the barrel, don't forget to also line the vent, so that corrosion doesn't start at the junction between the steel and brass. You can make the vent liner by boring a hole through a hex head stainless bolt.

[@frivolas]

Bronze bushings work better when the shaft is polished and hardened, so I'm happy to see you went and rubbed it shiny alright

[@mikerayle6103]

Looks great you have dipped your hands Into a lot of cool things I enjoy watching you don't just show but also inform which I appreciate very much and so do a lot of other people. Keep doing what you are and you won't have trouble building an audience.

[@hamm6035]

The torch, great idea. Looks great. What a project.

[@jmpattillo]

I love working with white oak. Your shop must smell great. Another way to get a dark finish like that in white oak is to expose the wood to fumes of concentrated ammonia

[@proberts34]

Just remember, Jon, don't breathe the concentrated ammonia fumes. Open a window or something. 😉

[@justinhall3073]

Talk about risk and reward.... that burn finish is gorgeous!

[@dcbadger2]

Oh man, that fire finish was great. Gave the cannon an aged look to fit the period.

[@kenlude97]

very nice! I usually don't care for a burnt finish but i think that you did a marvelous job.

[@Dsdcain]

I really like what you did with the edit at around 15:39, and that stop motion animation near the beginning looked really good. Not only do you have some serious metal and wood working skills, you do some really great editing as well.

[@MexieMex]

Check out the This Old Tony channel, he does loads of this (and might just be where the inspiration for the edits here came from) and is a bloody good channel too.

[@N0d4chi]

The burning went brilliant. Id have my doubts too and would be scared to do it. But it looks amazing. Well done!

[@blenderheadxyz2418]

I found your channel a week ago, or so and now i watched almost all your videos. I have to say you got a real talent to make very entertaining videos. Please carry on

[@bigstackD]

Good work matey I’m glad you didn’t paint it 😁. The burning look turned out great 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@G56AG]

I really had my doubts when you said you were going to do a burn finish, but when it was finished it looked really good, well done!

[@JCtheROD]

The burned wood and BLO was a really nice touch. Next a good fire session would be ideal.

[@Slikx666]

It's been a real pleasure watching you make this cannon.

[@michaelsimpson9779]

Excellent workmanship and production. Well done.

[@Friedbrain11]

The burn of wood followed by the linseed was fantastic!

[@CordCrenshaw]

Excellent choice on the finish.

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

My first impression was to go with the wood scorch and linseed oil buff-in personally. I have done that to wooden furniture in the past personally and I LOVE how it makes the wood just POP!

[@gabewhisen3446]

Great job with this build the scorch n oil worked well beautiful finish

[@neuro6164]

Followed the cannon from the beginning, Well done!

[@dr.murder2690]

Wonderful work man ... You put a lot of work into this 👏👏 the final result was amazing !!! I enjoyed watching every second of this cannon series

[@robson.abarbosa]

the torching was on point, very nice indeed.

[@SkunkTreeCarvings]

[@ICKY427]

wow that burned finish came out BEAUTIFUL.

[@KevinMn1]

I really like your decision on the finish, it turned out great!

[@clomb1234]

Another totally satisfying video. Thank you.

[@JakeSnake07]

For future reference, mixing vinegar and steel (i use steel wool, as it works much faster) and then leaving it to sit , produces a period-accurate stain that's grey in color. If it's not dark enough you can always just add more wool to make it darker.

[@padams788]

Was a pleasure binging this playlist. Covid layoff. Machinist.

[@geraldmiller5260]

I bought an exact replica civil war Parrot cannon (at an estate sale) that fires (about four feet in length). The spokes have three different tapirs, iron rims, incredible craftsmanship. Looks identical to it's full size authentic battlefield versions at miltary parks. Civil War carriages were painted a shade of green with iron trim,by the way.

[@Devin82m]

Great job! Yeah, I get a little nervous with the burnt wood stuff, but it always turns out nice, not to mention preserves it.

[@dracothetm]

This is looking awsome. You made me have a small heartattack during the torching but it looks way better now.

[@hillonwheels8838]

This cannon is BEAUTIFUL! Wish like others it was functional but oh well. I was wondering what was going on with the long pause between vids and now I know you had a million hours of wood working and machining to do. The burned wood is great and looks like something that could have been done back in the day.

[@MrRagequitnow]

Love the editing work you put into your videos as of late. The magic "part" edit is a nice touch.

[@hunterboswell6653]

Great job,the carriage turned out to be beautiful. I thought this would be about casting a brass canon.

[@bloodhammer84]

10:13 best thing to do would be to have spiral lubrication grooves in the bushing (similar to what you did for the epoxy, just shallower) and have the shaft polished. Another option would be honing the bushing but it requires special tools. If you leave the shaft rough it'll carry oil instead of the bushing but work into the Bronze much quicker.

[@ProseLitigant]

Damn Good job Man, been following the past few videos Trails and overcoming exactly the way life is isn't it? but in the end we win We never quit never give up. Mastery in the making thank you for the share.

[@GregorShapiro]

Staining with ferric sulfate FeSO₄ makes oak nicely blue-black, and covering it with linseed oil preserves the wood (but it will lose the blueness). No risk of burning too deep! The torch treatment looks good too though!

[@toolspayless]

Dang thing looks great, thanks for sharing.
