I suddenly want to make a high pressure springloaded ball valve steam cannon hmmm. Yeah try to get your gf to join it would be nice having another girl around here.
You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

My wife loves my cannons, spud guns too hahahaha, she has even expressed interest in building them, but she's scared of my dremel since she saw me run a tungsten carbide bit through a knuckle(yes the bone) once, and when it happened it threw blood and chunks all over her...

Anyone think its funny that a good post takes 3 or 4 days (sometimes) to have more than one page, but when cannons and women come together this topic could hit 3 pages after just a day and a half?

I know a girl who keeps asking me to bring her to the cannon days we have around here... next time we have one shes coming along, and she wants to build one too.

She said shed let me shoot a few clips through her Colt 1911 if I being her along for cannons, so I'm pretty content!!

She built most of it, and really liked learning about my hobby.
Pshhh...she says she is going to get better than me
Yeah, I had lots of fun with my first cannon building experience. I look forward to building more.

As a matter of fact, I am very proud of myself. Thank you 8)

Amazing how that works huhh Frank -> job = girlfriend ... :roll: ... :wink: Who would have thunk it?
Actually in this case girlfriend = Job.
I made him get one. lol. jk. no really

At the risk of sounding blatantly sexist, would you really want someone with the hormonal instability of a woman with knowledge of and access to spudguns? I'd sleep with one eye open if I were you ;)
Personal experience?

I can guarantee that there are girls out there who would appreciate your hobby. Others are just ignorant to the art of working with one's hands and the knowledge that goes along with it.
Cannon are cool. :o
