Detailed steps and tips on how I manufactured a miniature cannon.
Authentic scale model of a 1700's ship's cannon.
PART 1. Milling the trunnion bosses and then the various stages on how to bore it out.
320mm long, 500mm diameter with a 15.6mm bore. Everything is carried out freehand with not a CNC machine in sight.
Why 15.6? 15mm ball bearings are available to buy, should I ever want to fire it. The bore size also looks right for the size of the barrel. The last part in this series will hopefully show the cannon in action after the shotgun licence has been applied for!
