Cam locks are good though but I guess that should be fine. Any more updates? It sound awesome.

I really like the design... But I'm worried it might not pressurize.

You'd have leaks at the two tee-connectors that hold the barrel. Unless of course you plugged up the pipes that hold the barrel up to the right height with epoxy or something.

You got it. Those are just supports, no pressure.

Alright guys, I've been tossing around excuses for weeks. Truth is, I'm just way too busy to start this project. I ski every weekend, and get shitloads of homework during the week. Just no time to work on it.

When spring comes around, I'll get it going for sure.
Besides, the hard parts should be over. I found the right tap, I bored out the tees and I have all the parts already. When free time comes my way there should be no more delays.

But when it IS done, man, it'd better live up to the hype...

I did too.

I just made a little cannon today that I'll post soon and now that it's warm I'll get working on this beast of a cannon again. I tend to "hibernate" in the winter.
