Jim's Harley

[scottcrete]

This page is to show off the combustion i built for my father n law today.. i worked on it for 2 days on and off.. but not alot of work.. i made all the graphics myself.. and they are printed on photosticky paper.. then i took clearcoat and coated the whole gun making the printed labels never run or wear as "printed" things dont last long..

what do you guys think of it..?

here are the pics of the finished animal..


both barrels.. 1.5" and a 3"

notice there is a cap for both ends of the gun to protect threads








barrel up close


other barrel up close

one barrel is 2 feet long and the other is 6 feet long

anyways cheers.. and hope you like it..

by the way.. the reason this is a harley cannon is cause he has harleys and i think this is his favorite thing besides his family.. and its his birthday.. so heres my version of a harley.. lol and yes it has a chamber fan.

Edit by MrC: Preview picture too big so it's been removed. Try resizing it yourself, I had a similar problem once.

Whats the red button sticking out of the chamber for? Aren't you worried about it blowing out when firing? The cannon looks great! Good idea to clear coat, you are a cannon building fool! I mean that in a good way. This is a great present!!

[scottcrete]

its the ignitor.. and its epoxyed in and clamped on the inside..

[jrrdw]

I'm sure he's going to love it! Hey, my birthday is the 10th, but I'm not related and I don't own a Harley Davidson, I'm out of luck, aint I? Lol.

i get my money from a military disability.. I have several health problems do to things that has happend while in the military.

i dont work.. just save money.. and do things for entertainment.. and go to the doctor 3 days a week.. thats all brother..

that gun cost me 35.00 total with both barrels included. plus my time making it..

ive actually considered opening me an online buisness.. for things other than and including spudguns.. and offering them forsale.. totally custom for people.. plus other stuff.. i am able to design websites myself.. so it wouldnt be much trouble.

Scott man you've won my vote for the best looking Spud Gun of the year award...your a machine at this 8)

[scottcrete]

thanks jared.. can you tell im really knucking bored here?

[Jared Haehnel]

I'd say you've been busy...I've been bored since I have taken this job its been so dead that I have some how found time to make almost 575 posts in the space of about two months...I suspect when it picks up in the summer I won't be so bored...

[Blitz]

You and your decals... I love it! You siad you printed those off a computer?

[scottcrete]

yea.. i made them.. on powerpoint.. then printed them blitz

[starman]

That last pic of the gun fitted with the 77mm has a mean look to it. I made myself a "tee shirt" barrel that size and have yet to shoot it...fits the same way as yours there.

Like the others have said the labels really make these things what they are...as well as the paint job of course. I'm a big proponent of a paint job, I just haven't done as much with the labels....

Do you have a fan in there? I assume you do with the batteries showing there.

[Blitz]

Hmm, PowerPoint. I may have to try that.

This is definitely your best looking cannon to date; I'm sure even better ones are to follow.
