I made a Cannon from Brass, Wood and Stainless Steel

[@misterpatina]

What’s a good name for the cannon? Oh and (most important) it weighs 965 grams (2,1 pounds / 34 ounces) 😅

[@danielprivate7442]

Jumping Billy.

[@dietergranitzki7680]

I would call it Whistol, pistol on wheels. Also a bit crazy to know that you could build your own gun in your basement 😱!!!

[@Hostilenemy]

Big Bertha.

[@moomae1]

Lil' Patina

[@zwilnik]

Obvs the two-pounder.

[@sinformant]

Wad goes in before the ball. Put in powder, then wad, then ball and compact it with a rod. It eliminates air pockets in the propellent and makes it burn more evenly and with more force. The wadding helps seal the barrel behind the ball and provides a better velocity.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks for the tipp :-)

[@joearledge1]

You've got that backwards for a breech loader.

[@briannemec9214]

No he is right. Breech loaded rounds powder is usually in a "bag". The bag acts to keep the powder tight and supplies a seal behind the projectile. For proper ignition a pick is pushed in the wick hole to puncture the bag. This seal helps prevent hot gasses going around the projectile an burning groves in the barrel. You might put some light packing in front of a ball projectile when shooting a negative elevation, keeps the ball from rolling out. Too much packing in front could become an obstruction. The packing could act like a wedge an not allow the projectile to move. This changes a cannon into an IED. Nice job. I hope it easier to clean match powder than black powder. For me a few hours of shooting means a night of cleaning. @@joearledge1

[@larry1875]

I know that cleaning doesn't mean a lot of work! Larry

[@bigpappahemi4263]

I can't stress this enough, thank you for not talking or putting stupid music over your videos!

[@StealthDonut1]

Mr. P, that gigantic file/rasp REQUIRES a video dedicated to just itself! Where on (or off) of Earth did you find that magnificent tool?!?!

[@misterpatina]

Haha, thanks! I found it in Switzerland while I was 'shopping' in barns with my mechanics 😅

[@StealthDonut1]

@@misterpatina If you go barn shopping again please make a video of it!

[@MisterGames]

I know right. I literally "What?" When i saw that.

[@ad5000donnell]

It's called a Farriers Rasp its used to shape horses feet after putting on shoes.

[@MisterGames]

@@ad5000donnell Thank you. Now i have learned something new. 👍

[@bovanshi6564]

The phosphor is in the friction strip and the tip of the match contains a potassium (per/) chlorate and sulfur mix.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks for clarification !

[@Elmosquitodelmundo]

make the mix more potent < make a finer powder and at rate like 70/30 mix that's a better bang ! @@misterpatina

[@royothebuzz]

Brilliant project. Great camera shots and I loved the way the wood grain popped out when you put finish on it.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks my friend!

[@bigwilly43729]

That's pretty cool! I wasn't expecting that big of a boom from such a small cannon.

[@misterpatina]

...me neither...:-D

[@larrybud]

Guns, how do they work? He essentially made a .22 caliber firearm.

[@bonlappen3000]

Made a cannon when I was 9or something, made out of a 12mm id stainless pipe sounded louder than a 30.06 but we couldn't find it afterwards

[@Blade1310]

Couldn't stop thinking of Christopher Lee in The Man With The Golden Gun when you were assembling the brass parts. Well done Mr P.

[@misterpatina]

Thank you so much! 🙂

[@Drankoii]

That was sooo cool! Now I just want to see more shots!

[@misterpatina]

Maybe I’ll make a short 🙂

[@condar419]

Nice design, excellent craftmanship, as usual!

[@misterpatina]

Thanks!

[@BruceDWolcott]

I like the bolt section what a nice addition to a "regular" cannon.

[@allymac68]

You could NOT in this lifetime - NOT show us the last fire hitting the Target!! lol..... Please do a redit - It would be a finale - a conclusion, if you will - to what is possibly the BEST thing Ive ever seen on KZbin - on a host of different levels. Kudos MP!

[@misterpatina]

Haha, thank you so much! I really appreciate, and iam glad you like my work! Hugs!

[@johnnyo3fan]

My uncle was a machinist and worked at Lawrence Livermore labs. He made a cannon that accepted a tennis ball. He fired it off pointed straight up, the ball was never seen again.

[@iridescentgherkin]

[@misterpatina]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jerryjohnson4618]

Outstanding craftsmanship !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@misterpatina]

Thanks Jerry!

[@steadfasttherenowned2460]

You have to make your own breech loaded cartridges for this cannon. That could be so cool. Even if the cartridges were card stock sleeves or something the fuse can ignite easy to set off the match head propellant

[@buntzi]

Cigarette paper?

[@Halinspark]

Cigarette rolling papers would be easiest.

[@hansjansen7047]

Blackpowder is also quite easy to produce.

[@joearledge1]

Nitrated paper cartridges would be best. Lots of how to videos online for that

[@sithyarael6807]

Now I want one. Maybe using #10 Percussion Caps or even 209 shotgun primers if going for .50 cal with 30 or 50 grain Black Powder pellets. And in the US all black powder is 100% legal so no issues there. I would probably do the main parts out of steal instead of brass just cause it could handle it better and last longer. Although adding rifling might be a tad tricky.

[@jimthesoundman8641]

Elm is such nice wood, it's a shame there isn't any of it left in North America anymore.

[@ratroddiesels1981]

this was one of the finest videos ive watched , the videography , machining and epoxing a wood knot. so good thank you

[@misterpatina]

Hey, thank you so much!

[@hannahpinson4361]

Something I really appreciate is your warning at the beginning. I've seen creators punished in the past where someone tries to recreate it only to get hurt. Never understood that as it's not the KZbinr's fault a viewer decided to attempt something that might end badly.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

This was so much fun to watch. You are a talented woodworker as well as machinist. And your filming is spot on. Thanks for sharing this Mr. P.

[@misterpatina]

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Wow... Your skill at making this canon is so amazing... seeing it work in slow mo was like Yikes & WOW together.... but at the end of the day this a toy but yet not a toy... especially in the wrong hands.*

[@misterpatina]

Thank you so much, iam glad you like it! Now its a display piece...i think a loaf of bread is more deadly than the time it takes to make this cannon shootable :-D

What a great project! Super fun to watch. What a cool thing to make, have and pass down to your son, assuming that is what you’re going to do. Disappointed about the knot it the wood. I know you can fix it. But, still. Only thing missing is your makers mark! Good to see a post sir. Hope you’re doing better. Stay safe.

[@misterpatina]

Thank you so much B! I know what you mean about the knot, thought about doing a new piece, but 1) I didnt have a elm wood piece this size 2) I somehow loved the imperfection, but 3) i agree, its a weak spot - so i agree :-) Yes, like always, i keep the projects i restore/make and...if Mr. P Jr. wants to have it one day...it´s his :-) We´re doing better, but...not a 100%. Thanks for your support my friend!

[@kalleklp7291]

If you load a cannon you would want the wad of cotton going in after the powder charge, THEN the projectile. It's like a bicycle pump without the piece of rubber no pressure builds up. ;) Nice piece.. :)

[@misterpatina]

Thanks for the explanation! The next shots will be done that way 🙂

maybe construct some "charge" bags out of tissue paper to avoid the spillage around the breech? didnt show in the video but assuming you swabbed the barrel with a wet Q-Tip or similiar to remove any embers before reloading? Very cool video!!

[@danielprivate7442]

Very cool indeed. I would not use modern smokeless powder (too much pressure) but black powder should be fine.

[@kmoecub]

There are modern smokeless powders that are engineered for use in antique black-powder firearms.

[@bumper52]

Nice work! Please post model number or source for the Paulimot fixture used for turning the end round. Perhaps uneededn, but turning a groove or two on the OD of the brass bushing to be epoxied into the wood hole will improves strength of the bond.

[@ronm3245]

I like how the maximum loading actually makes a tiny little recoil.

[@Joohnny_C]

Bro that is a big recoil for such a small cannon!

[@paulmalinoski5951]

Done right, a small cannon can have an insane amount of recoil. I think I might have a video posted with one of my cannons lol

[@Rodo1946]

Muy buena la construccion, me parece que aguanta bien una pequeña carga de polvora, con un perdigon de plomo. Felicitaciones.

[@saschma3543]

Heilige Mutter ist das Ding geil. Das würde ich ja zu gern mal real sehen. Schöne Arbeit 👍👍👍

[@misterpatina]

Dann dir! Ja gefällt mir auch sehr gut 🙂

[@en2oh]

very nicely done but just a couple points. The red material you're scraping off the match head is mostly potassium chlorate. The 'striker' you scraped is red phosphorus. If you haven't experienced this yet, you will find out that Armstrong's Mixture is highly friction sensitive. You're lucky that you didn't grind the two together - but if you want an energetic 'bang' out of this, you should grind each component individually, and then carefully combine them. Why not make some old fashioned black powder? Alternatively, turn this into a "Carbide Cannon"

[@imperialweimarball]

I think a self contained paper cartridge would make this faster to load, could also scale it up to a rifle if you so wished as a big project, but a great design in my opinion.
