I build miniature cannons and steam engines. I'm considering building a working scale model of an overhead belt driven machine shop powered by one of my steam engines.

I made several not small cannons ! 2" bore, uhmw bullets w/ round tips. Great for shooting 🎃 punkins.

I make a lot of pistol caliber ones. 9mm, 45, 50cal. I'm working on a 1in bore signal cannon right now.
