    I tried doing this years ago with my 14 year old son. I discovered, after doing a vertical pour like you did, that we had a tremendous amount of hydraulic pressure at the bottom of our green sand mold. So much so that the cavity at the bottom would enlarge beyond the intended size of the pattern. We solved the problem by baking the mold. The cope and drag were made of stainless steel plate, so it would not burn up during the baking process. To solve the outer surface being impregnated with sand, we pounced our pattern with twice baked charcoal dust. ( the red embers left when you are done grilling your steaks.) These embers are smothered and allowed to cool before being crushed into a fine powder. Put the dust into a sock for pouncing.

    Not sure if you've figured this yet, but...
    To prevent shrinkage on later projects, use a "reservoir". Leave a cavity above the thickest area so that as it cools the reservoir empties into the actual desired item, thus filling it in and preventing defects. Then when it's set just cut off and grind down the reservoir.

    Those of us who watched the full series won´t be surprised not to see the cannon being fired as you explained your reasons for abstaining, but people watching this for the first time must feel a little taken aback to see the video end with the barrel still a virgin. Still, you took the trouble to transport your baby to meet its big brother, which I think was above and beyond the call of duty, and a great way to end the video.

  • @douglascox9996
    @douglascox9996 4 года назад +17

    Traditionally, cannons, along with bells and hollow bronze portrait busts, were cast with the bore roughed in, to be finished by machine-boring after the pour. The core for casting the void for the bore was often made using “family recipes” handed down as trade secrets, but could use such ingredients as clay, mixed with manure, straw, and pieces of broken brick or crockery. Once the cast cannon had cooled, the inner core that had created the void for the bore was picked apart with slim hooked probes to leave the rough cast bore. That not only saved on the initial amount of metal needed, but reduced the effort of machining the bore to accept the charge, wadding, and ball. Granted, the effort of making an effective core on the reduced scale in the video could be a problem, but the metal saved by using a core for the bore void could have gone into making a larger cannon barrel.

      @drummer0864 2 года назад

      How would you suspend the core for the bore in the mold and keep it centered? At the top I could see a steel bar and rod or bolt, but how do you keep it centered in the bottom where the chamber will be? There is a lot of pressure and the molten metal may fill unevenly, at first, causing a shift. Just wondering.

When the barrel is cast, that rod of same metal then becomes an integral part of the casting.

      Is that what he said literally? If so he might have been telling to make sure the to pack the sand tight enough to get a proper casting made.

    You are quite a competent craftsman. The cannon is a work of art as is the wood carriage and wheels. You were fortunate that molten pour didn't find moisture on the floor---- BOOM

    Thank you, your casting has turned out to be incredible, you did not get a single blowhole or tear which is amazing, I love it as I used to work in a foundry before.

  • @BJtheInquisitive1

    love the cannon, job well done. Also you took me back to my dad, he was a wood pattern maker for 40+ years, and some of the mold halves, shrink rules and different metals they poured at the foundry. Those were good memories. Also the problem with glues are they will be waterproof, but they will not bond and permeate the wood. there remains a barrier from epoxy and wood. So the best way is to build the wood wheel and put a hot steel strap around it, let it shrink to hold everything together. Then use it for the next20 to 30 years. Thank you I enjoyed it.

    Whether it fires or not, you got my full attention on this video. I have loved cannons since I was a kid and made them on the lathe starting in 7th grade. I'm 52 now and still dream of making something like that.

    One word to describe it-Masterpiece. I machined a stainless steel naval cannon years ago that I bring out and shoot on occasion, but it's only about a foot long overall with a 3/8" bore
    . If I were to make a Napoleon civil war cannon, I would cheat and machine the barrel.

    Excellent video and excellent job - well done ! I made an iron 1/10th scale model of the British 24-Pounder - very detailed. I bored it from an iron ingot to 50 caliber. I have fired it and it was quite an experience. Unfortunately, I never made a carriage. Maybe, someday. Your work is truly a work of art.
