1-3/4" cannon blank test fire

- My dad built this cannon from scratch, wood, barrel, and wheels all made by him. The barrel is about 26" long and the bore is 1-3/4", just big enough to fire golf ball sized projectiles. We made up this blank charge (one ounce of fffg black powder with about 6 inches of packed paper wadding) just so we could make a big boom for Independence day. I think we accomplished just that, don't you?
We'll be working up an actual projectile charge eventually, and of course we'll post up the resulting video. - บันเทิง

Never stand in front of the cannon when the cannon is loaded !
An hold the wood in the midle and not at the end of the pole that in case of "
accident" the pole slip out of your hand but your hand will stay.
Nice Cannon,
best Regards

That barrel will easily take 2 ounces of black powder because it's long. Flames out the barrel indicate unburned powder. I use 2 ounces in my 1.25" barrel. For a good boom, pack the barrel with sawdust. Use a wet sponge rammer between shots. It is superbly made and the first one I have seen in a long time that has adequate sized trunions.
How can I get one?
"Coaches club cannons" might be able to help you.

Beautiful cannon with a loud boom inside of a building.Priceless.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I use bread for wadding after paper. Bread packs tight and creates more pressure. Does the cannon fit golf balls?
It does fit golf balls! They come out so fast, you can't even see where they go.
I have a golf ball cannon and I know what you are saying. I tested the velocity over water, and the speed was similar to a .22 LR., using 2 ounces of home made ffg black powder.
@@SuperYGOD Bread is what is suggested for muzzle loaders, but I use cleaning patches treated with fire retardant. Without that paper or cloth tends to catch fire (smolder) and end up with a delayed fire hazard.
What I love most about this is that it's done in a Welders shop 🤣🤣 makes me feel right at home lol !!! #doingkoolstuff@theshop
Great vid! That thing looks like a blast to play with
Nice work guys. That's a piece of art AND it goes boom. :)
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
RIP HeadPhone users...my speakers were in full volume and when it came..BOOM!!!broke my windows.... xD
I mean, it's not like we didn't warn you. :D
MY EARS!!!!
Firing cannon in an enclosed space. Bravo!
Must be nice to have all the machinery needed to make a cannon..I got tons of stock cold rolled and no machines and no one to help make one.gets old watching people and their cannons.I want to make my own so bad.Very nice piece.
Cold Rolled is too soft I think.....
Don’t let the tools throw you. Good tools just make it easier. Built a very similar one in my garage with tools you could get from Home Depot. Not easy but doable
Just take a thick walled steel pipe and weld the end with a plug, and boom you got a cannon barrel
Nice looking cannon!!!!!! great job!!! 2 ounces of black powder a 1 pound lead ball, bore sighted you should be able to hit a 5 gallon bucket a 100 yards, give it a try!!!
Awesome!!! I want a cannon like that!!
Wooooo!! Excellent. Well done guys :)
Make me one! Plz, or make a tutorial. Thats so freakin awesome
It really isn't hard, I've built probably 30-40 cannons, my first one was an old pice of steel pipe I found in the garage , threaded the back screwed in a bolt put a fuse som powder and boom, now I build recoiling howitzer look alike cannons. It's really easy,
LOUD! That was so loud, I could hear it 10 years later, in 2022.
Artillery is how Napoleon got his start.
You said it! Although, it's about a hundred times more awesome when it's launching a cannonball :D.
On my bucket list is to one day get a cannon great video
In some states, it's illegal to fire a blank load out of a cannon. Never tell the police what you're doing. OK, here's how to get a good boom out of it. Use the 1 ounce FF and add about a cup or so of dry sawdust on top of the powder down the bore. Then fill the rest of the barrel with damp sawdust right out to the muzzle. Pack it snug with a hammer and wooden dowel. This baby will really bark. Always use a wet sponge rammer between shots to kill any residual sparks before reloading. Even a 5 minute wait is inadequate. Use a wet sponge rammer. Never use the can to pour powder in the barrel. Never pack the barrel with rags because they can start a fire. Sawdust won't do that. Black powder does not build pressure, so your steel barrel is very safe. Cast iron is what is dangerous. It will fragment in cold weather.

that was so so so so so sooooooo 10000000× DANGEROUS. COOL CANNON
Wow, that's a big one :)
There's a whirring noise that destroys all other audio than the actual boom from the cannon, but it's worth re-watching anyways. .. I like that cannon, it looks the part, and certainly sounds just right. Yarr, matey, let em have it.
New sub here from Oregon.
Nice work
Very nice!
Beautiful
Beautiful. It would be more attractive if some confetti paper was also stuffed in it . Very nice cannon . Loved it
All the newspaper turns into confetti after it gets fired, and you're right, it's beautiful!
Holds out index to thumb and measures, "That's a good 6 inches of wadding right there." Measures with stick, "Yea 5 inches there." Welcome to a man's world my friend. You are among good company.
Wow, that was just awesome, hahaha.
Holyshit. Your dad built this ? O_o
Believe it or not, there was a real cannon around this size aswell, and they would still able to blow big holes in people houses or a ship.
I wanted to yell “aren’t you going to wheel that outside?” the fuse was already lit.
Spectacular bang! great video
Are all the machines still standing?
There are people who fire guns indoors.
Then there are people who fire CANNONS indoors. That's some balls of steel let me tell you.
Wow que bonito cañón saludos 👍👏👏👌
Good job. You even have fourteen spokes.
That's awesome
very nice
In Indonesia they called "lodong" made from big bamboo, same effect
44mm anti-whatever cannon!
Clearly anti oxygen
anti brain cell.
The Bluesman anti ear drum
Anti bored
He sounds like the dude in good fellas
This is a beautiful half scale, as nice as it is you guys should build the rest of the Irons and dress her out. Nice job
Nice
Lucky you didn't burst the barrel. Never use that much wadding in any muzzle loader.
Pov:your neighbors at night
That’s was cool
i want to make one now
I'd think that the blast wave is even lethal within so man feet in front of it.
Cannons make everything better !😆
Was there a vid before this one where they put in the black powder or ?
NIIICEEE!!!
Hi there! It may have been answered in the comments below but what grade steel did you use?
Now you can start a war with that.
Put a projectile in there and it should be louder. The pressure difference when the bullet exits the barrel creates noise.
+Yawning Gull Check some of my other videos, we fire it with a projectile in it a few times.
Do you have plans that I could use to make one? Is there a recommended steel or brass for the barrel?
+stargeezer426 Dixie Gun Works has these kind of things and you try here:

You'll have to make your own carriage though.......
Great job lots of wadding makes great sound; Thanks
"it will be a little noisy" lol
(((
What did you make the barrel from?
1:44 SPARKS GO OFF BOOM
buitiful canon
Shooting in an enclosed room makes it a lot louder because all the sound is bouncing back at you
lets fire our new cannon inside our tin can machine shed
Adorable
From Brazil
Holy shit your shop just expanded like an inch in all directions lol. Did you blow out any windows?
Note to self - don't fire cannon inside....
How much wadding does one need!
I have the exact same barrel where can I purchase the carriage Or the dimensions to build one
guys you realy need to polish up on your skills, never stand in front of barrel when loading, stand off to the side, be mindfull of the amount of powder and for heaven sake, dont fire a cannon indoors !! cool cannon, have fun, be safe !
You took the Lord's name invain...

1:47 Someone said "Yolo" xD
Shooting a cannon indoors ???, yea now that's smart.......
come off it! it's a blank.
It was a blank twat
Arie Visker dude, it was paper
Arie Visker BLANKS
@@ozzy5150376 Burning paper projectile, and I didn't see them checking for any burning debris downrange...
How much powder did you guys use?
Lol i wish i had that one
Great work !!!
2 ounces FF would be the right load. Pack the barrel with sawdust all the way to the muzzle.
Pipebomb.
Very nice gun, but way too long fuse. Outside is the trick 🙂
wanna make it myself
Damn, that would make a great potato gun lol
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM lloll !!!!!
Julio saludos Ecuador
Do you have a project plan to share?
My apologies that the video is not up to your liking. I'll make sure to tell the front desk to refund your money. Next time, I'll try harder and make sure to turn off all the noise in the machine shop so it doesn't ruin your experience. Again, my apologies.
made plans?, pictures?
1:45 BOOOOOMMM
Which type of powder usef
Cool ;-)
fuego al cañon
Hahahahahah throw back
Of the years goes by and the last I saw kind of this on museum or in the movie of Mel Gibson the Patriot
But it is cool
LOL! I think there's something like 500 or more hours into this thing. I think we might earn a profit if we sell for 10 grand. :P
I'd be interested in purchasing a build from you guys if you would be interested. I've been looking for a field piece for a long time and I really like how well built everything is you guys put into it. Regardless if you would be guys are interested can you please respond to this comment. Thanks in advance
I am surprised not to see that gun recoil a few feet on that smooth floor!??
There's no projectile in it. There's very little force pushing it back. Check out some of my other videos where it's shooting an actual cannonball, it rolls back a foot or two each shot.
Plus, it weighs almost 150 pounds, it doesn't roll back much even with a heavy charge under a ball.
27Turo Hummm. I own a full scale mountain howitzer I shoot blanks at reenactments, and we get a few inches of recoil even in rough dirt/grass. Your report was pretty big! And on that smooth floor I was expecting....??? Oh well I guess!
What nut would fire a cannon inside of a shop building on purpose?
What exactly makes me crazy for firing a blank inside a huge shop?
👍💥
I didn't see them check downrange for any stray burning debris...all that unnecessary wadded and packed paper becomes a projectile, too, guys...
😱
Waht do you need so much wading for?
You don't ...it's a sign that even tho they got the "Toy", they didn't read the directions...
holy shit ...
Never stand in front of any muzzleloader while loading!
Fantassssssssssssstic cannon is Just fantassssssssssssstic fantassssssssssssstic wonderfuuuuuuul fantassssssssssssstic wonderfuuuuuuul fantassssssssssssstic cannon
Don't stand directly in front when doing the loading
I bet that thing is SUPER loud !......4th of July ! Love this Country ! [ lets not f@!# it up, mmmkay?]
My ears are totaly fucked up now
Woooo
