I haven't a lathe a home. I'm happy enough when it works without o-rings. :p

All you need to do is put a ring of tape around the piston, and use it as a guide, then cut into it with a saw, and smooth out the groove with sand paper, then lube up the piston, and slide an O ring onto it.

I will have a look for finding o-rings here.

btw: I have lubed the piston before I placed him in the tee.

that would be better mrcrowley! also a bit safer in my opinion

I would hope that you lubed the piston before putting it in there...

Offcourse I lubed the piston! I've got a large can of (grease)lube.

Anyone getting a idea for the color scheme? Painting is not for directly, just need to tune it up.

love the door damage... and the "repair"

red or bleu cammo would be cool, or with some yellow, i dont remember the name ;p or dip it in a large bath of plasti dip xD

The new glass is ordered and I can get it Monday.

I bought some darkblue hammerite and black.
Darkblue for the chamber and T, black for barrel.
I do not think I will use this cannon for destruction, just for recreational tennisball shooting. I think you want nothing more than to destroy objects. Right?

This afternoon a update!

Some progress. Since I started working this week again.
The vacation is over so I have less time to work on the cannon.

This morning I maked the supports for between the barrel and chamber. I painted them black, they are drying now.


This week I painted the entire cannon.
I like it pretty much.






I still need to mount the support between the barrel and chamber, but they are drying now.

I'm thinking about making something where I can place the cannon on. Some ideas anyone?

Can you even lift that thing?

It'll be a shame if you have to repair the piston and damage the paint job with a large pipe wrench

hehe that's the same colour scheme of some of our reactors at work

Nice paint job and color scheme... I love it!!!!

It is indeed incredible heavy. When the moment comes when i have to repair the piston and damage the paintjob. I have some paint left.

nicly done! now make a video

Here a few pics with the spacer installed. I was first thinking to mount 2 of them. But it's enough with one.







This weekend videos of shooting!
