Why did you pack them up in a RAR file.... :roll: Most people don't have quick access to a RAR unpacker.

Use a public image server like Imageshack...it's super easy.

That's better. A little overkill on your chamber there. I'll bet that thing is modo heavy. You could take half that chamber off and not miss much of a beat.

Or better still, use the resident spudfiles uploader, ensuring your pictures will be unaffected by external sites ;)

That looks like a pretty heavy cannon. Also, what schedule is that barrel? Looks a little thin from the first picture. Overall good job though. Have fun splitting firewood, ya yank. :wink:

Hey, it looks pretty good for a first. Might I suggest a modded sprinkler valve rather than a solenoid?
