Great to see you this fine day Joe. That mahogany machined up really nice. I can't see any tear out anywhere. A combination I have always liked is a base of Tung Oil to make the character and natural color in the wood "POP" with a polyurethane (Helmsmen exterior UV resistant) sealer. It is a really nice combination. The effect would be much like the one way you have gone. Initially the build didn't look all that complicated but considering you made everything from stock another closer look and "WOW" or "OH MY" for lack of better words. Every time I visit here is soooo relaxing. Thanks for that eh. Now you will need to keep it behind glass as everybody is going to want to handle it and those nasty fingerprints will be all over this beauty. The next project in line sounds like another fine piece in your Lilliputian line up. Thanks again and take care my friend. See you next post.

[@joepie221]

Thanks for the comment. Keeping that wood from blowing up was halted by sandwich blocks for everything.

[@roberthiggins1142]

That Cannon is an absolute work of art & a great credit to your machining skills.

[@kevinlott9626]

I think you made the correct choice on the stain, Joe. Excellent job, Sir..!!

[@genecarden780]

Your commitment to document these things is amazing. I am guessing the documentation added tenfold to the making of the project. Not only are you VERY well versed in your craft you are also a gifted teacher. And beyond that a very generous person. Thank you from a hobbiest machinist that has far more knowledge than skill because of people like you and Tom Lipton, among others. Just so you know there are thousands of us that truly appreciate your channel

[@dennythomas8887]

Another quality build from JP Cannon Works! Loved the series Joe. Thanks for taking us along.

[@joerogi8401]

Twenty minutes applying espresso stain to eleven small parts whilst maintaining clean hands. Gotta be Joe. Cheers John 🇨🇦

[@beachcomberbob3496]

Here's a tip for you Joe. If you want to paint/stain all sides of a part, make yourself a yard long board with a series of tapered posts along the length (I use old artist brush handles). Then, once you've painted the underside of the part, seat it firmly, through one of the holes in the part, on a tapered pin. Then that frees you up to do all of the other sides without getting fingerprints in the finish (and getting paint all over your hands 😄).

[@carlhitchon1009]

A museum piece. Congratulations.

[@jacqueso8424]

This turned out to be a great project. Im very impressed. The brass is contrasted very well by the stain of wood. I havent watched the whole build, but when ever i have, great lessons in miniature milling and turning, also from your past project like the shaper machine will certainly be used. Thanx for all tips and advice

[@joepie221]

Thanks for watching. I've always loved the dark wood and brass contrast ever since seeing a classmate make a chess set the same way. One side was brass and walnut, the other side was cherry and aluminum. Stunning.

[@weevilinabox]

Beautiful! And so many tutorials (and hidden gems) throughout the build.

[@Dudleymiddleton]

That cannon really looks the business! :)

[@lisag2771]

Wow! Joe, this thing is just lovely. Excellent work. Thanks for bringing us along the way.

[@joepie221]

Thanks. My pleasure.

[@JaredAF]

Just read in the description that the cannon was inspired by the USS Pennsylvania. Very cool bit of naval history; America's largest sailing ship. I used to have the famous painting of it in one of my desktop wallpaper rotations

[@JPGuay]

Congrats Joe ! You are my hero !

[@joepie221]

Thank you. It was much more work than I planned, but it was worth it.

[@williamkober6637]

I built one many years ago like that of my own design, I actually fire it on the 4th of July. 4140 barrel. This one is beautiful. Thanks for all the videos, I've learned a tremendous amount from you!

Thank you!

[@robertlewis4666]

Try natural woodstain cup of spirit vinegar dissolve a bunch of steel wool in it. Paint on and dry makes a very dark c Colour on most woods.

[@Bobs-Wrigles5555]

The vinegar would turn the brass pink, even if he repolishes the brass, the humidity in the air would cause the vinegar to reactivate and the brass touching the wood to go pink on the edges again, I don't think that's the look he's going for.😉

[@dzolotas]

What a beauty! As long as you don't stay at the wrong side of it, of course. Congratulations!!!

[@joepie221]

Good point.

Peer pressure. I admit I like them too. Thanks.

[@eyuptony]

Beautiful work, Joe, your attention to detail is mind-blowing. Love to see this sat on a genuine vintage used battle scared cannon, along with some commentary while viewing the old iron and woodwork. I enjoyed watching the series. Tony

[@joepie221]

Or a forced perspective shot with this in the foreground by a real one. That would be cool.

[@eyuptony]

@@joepie221 Yes brilliant Joe and giving gratitude in some form or other to the forgone skilled craftsmen and craftswomen who made these cannons on a mass production scale with very primitive woodworking and metalworking tools along the Navy personnel that used them in anger to keep the sea's safe from enemy attacks so many generations before you and I ever put tool to metal, or something like that. It would be very nostalgic, very cool and educational to the younger generation of today. Tony

[@BillySugger1965]

That’s amazing Joe, looks fantastic!

[@mousemade1]

Now that is a build to be proud of! Well done, Joe!

[@camojoe2]

Beautiful work Joe, and a stunning presentation! Regards, Duck

Another beauty. Thank you Joe.

[@rods87175]

Another beautiful build Joe! I greatly enjoyed the series of videos.

[@bobtorrence3461]

Beautiful work Joe! I actually think you made the right decision with the mahogany as it has nice tight short grain making it scale well. The walnut would have looked out of scale with the longer grain lines and swirls. Looking forward to your next project!

[@jasonpfeilsticker5692]

Was fun to watch this project come together!!!

[@joepie221]

it was waaaaay more time consuming than I planned. Fun project though.

[@joepie221]

The dark was the right choice.

[@ChrisB257]

Amazing number of components in total and one heck of a lot of work. I agree with your choice of stain - works well. End result is just gorgeous - you should be well proud of that for sure, and thanks for sharing all the labor involved. :) Looking fwd to the steam engine.

Love the model, Joe! So beautiful. I agree that the dark stain works best. The wood of old cannons always looks dark, so it’s an appropriate look. Thank you so much for sharing this build with us. It makes a real difference to me.

[@joepie221]

Thank you.

[@donstelfox6921]

Beautiful Model, enjoyed the build immensely, and was worth the time invested. Details are striking, love it. Cheers

Hi Joe, Congratulations on a finely crafted show cannon. It was a pleasure watching your machining skills during the build series. I know the steam engine build will be as enjoyable. You and your family stay safe.

[@ellieprice363]

Wow, I love it. What a gorgeous combination of polished brass and dark stained wood you chose for this miniature beauty. I don’t see how the bar could be raised much further on your future projects.

[@mikelamuraglia5645]

Outstanding, turned out great.

[@joepie221]

Thanks. It was fun.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

That is absolutely beautiful and you can be proud of the accomplishment. Even though my cannon fires half inch steel balls it is the sows ear compared to the silk purse. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

I like the idea that the cannon can't fire. At least nobody will be killed. A beautiful work of art, Joe.

[@buckinthetree1233]

I like wet sanding it with Tung Oil to fill all of the grain and then apply top coats of Tung Oil until I'm happy with the look. I don't like boild linseed oil because it never really hardens. I think what you did looks good, but I just wanted to give you an idea of something to try if you do this again.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Hand rubbed Tung oil is one of my favorite finishes. Takes a bit of time but it is time well spent.

[@richardsweet7452]

Beautiful work as usual Joe. The fruition of many hours of tedious machining.

Joe, that is one beautiful canon. I think you should be very proud of it and all the machine work that went into a super small project.
