Well Like I've said countless times before, the term is drawing to a close (yippee). Between being buried under my Engineering Texts and trying to write for Thebrig I've managed to finish my Machineshop Project.

It's only a small little Cannon, as you can see from its size relative to the heap of notes it stands on, but I think it's going to provide some laughs this Christmas break.

If I can get my hands on some gunpowder, or something of similar properties <:) I'm hopping to actually fire this baby. Of course I'll have to drill a hole for the fuse, but I've done all the calculations. It's simple Aluminum, Steel, Brass construction is more than enough to handle the forces involved in firing off a couple of blank charges (and perhaps if I get brave, a cannon ball)

Either way, just another thing to look forward to once I finally shake this term off and get a taste of the real world for a while.
