Did you and Karen both work on these together since they basically are the same? Just yours has cool paint? Anyways, nice job on an old school cannon!

"Well there's your problem" just kidding :twisted: 8) :lol: :D :shock: nice cannon btw although wouldnt it be unsafe to drill through the cap. also you should shoot pingpong balls filled with water out of that nice nice distance and a satisfying splat

The cap is completely filled with epoxy, making it even stronger.
Some people would say a chap stick container would be an unsafe chamber;)

Cool Frank...a his and hers model now huhhh... :wink: I'm glad you're having fun with them. There's something kind of primal about the basic combustions. I used to have on and off trouble with them...seemed like it was based on the weather, humidity, blah..... got tired of fooling with them.

Good paint job!
