Here it is peeking in the window at DuBach Tool and Machine Co. a splended and worthwhile shop specializing in short-runs, stampings, prototyping and general machining. 3910 S. Mariposa Englewood. They also feature welding and engineering services.The barrel extension comes off easily for transport, and the machine has thrown a 12 lb bowling ball 1/2 mile.
Oh yeah, and on Craigs list, this is NOT a pumpkin gun. You never use the dreaded G-word there lest someone get hurt. It's for the children, you know, so this time it's a pumpkin launcher. Oddly, though, it's OK to sell a cannon there, just not a gun.

Speaking of launching pumpkins, this popped up today on Fark.
A pumpkin cannon with a 97-foot-long barrel.
I still want a trebuchet.
A treb, powered by garage door springs, is on the list of things to build. Springs are easier to work with than 6000 lb of lead. Google Hypertension, a spring powered treb.
Oh yeah: "Domini, domini, domini" (makes sign of cross with beer glass) "you're now on the treb team". Start collecting garage door springs.
FYI: I've reposted it at www.cologunmarket.com/mkt/viewtopic.php?t=8144 for you.
I figure that since I had a (small) role in helping build it, RMGO shouldn't mind.
I have GOT to have one of these to put by my trebuchet!
For $1500 I'll deliver it within 100 miles. Be the envy of your entire neighborhood!
