    Wasn’t it meant to fire?

    • @YoutubeAccountName
      @YoutubeAccountName 5 ปีที่แล้ว +45

      Yes, but if I remember correctly, there were some issue in the casting, and there are dents/cavities on the inside wall, which means it would probably break if fired.

  • @thepenultimateninja5797
    @thepenultimateninja5797 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That's stunning.
    After putting so much time and effort into this, I think you should take the final step and line the barrel with steel so you can fire it. 1/4" wall thickness would be perfectly adequate, because the liner will be supported on all sides by the brass.
    If you do, be sure to make the liner out of solid bar stock. It's possible to use DOM tubing or similar, but that involves a separate breech plug, which is a janky way of doing it and will probably end up becoming dangerous after a while (whether welded or threaded, it provides places for corrosion to accumulate).
    If you bore out a liner from solid stock, the cannon will last indefinitely as long as it is cleaned properly after firing.
    If you do line the barrel, don't forget to also line the vent, so that corrosion doesn't start at the junction between the steel and brass. You can make the vent liner by boring a hole through a hex head stainless bolt.

    For future reference, mixing vinegar and steel (i use steel wool, as it works much faster) and then leaving it to sit , produces a period-accurate stain that's grey in color. If it's not dark enough you can always just add more wool to make it darker.

    10:13 best thing to do would be to have spiral lubrication grooves in the bushing (similar to what you did for the epoxy, just shallower) and have the shaft polished. Another option would be honing the bushing but it requires special tools. If you leave the shaft rough it'll carry oil instead of the bushing but work into the Bronze much quicker.

    The overall scorching is called shou sugi ban which is a Japanese style (unless you're a pedant). You did well. I wire brush it after, going with the grain which is tricky at joints, and then hose it off. Yep, linseed oil every 6 months or so if outdoors. Also, for anyone else, glue joints can show so go lightly and possibly apply a fine touch of thinned matt black paint to them.
