It works well.  But I have only used it in limited quantities because the wife was "helping" me.  She is at work tomorrow so maybe I can use it without her "assistance". 

 

Was she wearing her Maker's Mark bikini?  I can see why you had to switch from your cannon to your gun.....

This was one of the last updates to the cannon.  It's the Dahlgren cannon used circa mid 1800's.  Being smooth as opposed to having ridges and bands there were fewer stress risers where cracks and failures could occur.  It was mostly used in fixed emplacements and as naval cannon of large sizes.

I am happy to announce, it is back in business after 20 years. 

I grew up with this and it was heard all over the lower mainland in BC.  Loved it when I was living aboard my boat in Coal Harbour as it signalled the go home time for my boat partiers. :)
