Well I have helped a bit on YouTube and on the forum (as well as directing him to this site), and the chamber design is quite similar to my VAL (perhaps there was some influence there?) so I don't think it's "funny" that he tributes it to me although I agree that matty also deserved recognition.

8ton has thanked me a zillion times, its his cannon so he can call it what he chooses. I have learned alot from everyone on this site so if I can ever give back by helping out another spudder I do if they ask and show respect while doing so. However as far as recognition for anything I could care less and a simple thank you will do. Unless you have billions of dollars and and want to cut me a check!!! :D :D
Go Bruins!!!!

not too shabby dude, I like it. Instead of adding a 1/4 plug I suggest you add a pressure gauge. At least then that hole will have a purpose. Well done!! :D


Why does everyone feel the need to capture images of their feet?? Dooe anyone believe in shoes anymore?? :lol:

A pool tarp?? Really?? You could punch through a pool tarp. Put that bad boy up to 125 psi and it will go through an inch of plywood like butter. Cool pics though!! Your skills have come a long way from your first cannon. Good work!!
:D

Thanks matty. My first cannon was actually a ball valve cannon, I stopped using it after I dislocated my finger trying to open the valve. The thing thats stopping me from using the gun that high of pressure is I'm using my good golf balls I used to golf with.
