re: grammar in this year's posts
dont -> don't
there -> their
your -> you're
grammer -> grammar
awsome -> awesome
iv -> I've
u -> you
therw -> through
freeking -> freaking
Not counting capitalization or punctuation... JUST KIDDING!!! ...all in good fun.

It was a dead topic, but I do like the cannon. I would love to make a similar one with sch 80 black iron, just a tad larger diameter and make it a hybrid; however, the fittings would bankrupt me.
