So my great grandfather was machinist. He built some cannons for his children and grand children. We believe in 1948.
As some of you local's know there is a small red brick building in Jacksonville below the Britt grounds. Haven't looked in awhile, but at one point was a Christian book store. That building used to be my great grandfathers machine shop.
He built the larger cannon's for his children and and smaller ones for great grandchildren (my mom and others).
Anyway, my uncle past down to me my grandfathers cannon for Christmas. He cleaned it up a bit and had my great grandfathers name engraved on the side with my name beneath it. My mother added to the gift by giving me a framed b/w pictured of my great grandfather working in his shop back in Logan, Utah (we think 1932).
Fully function kah-pow!.
This is the cannon I received. In the flickr link you can see the others made. Every New Years day the fam goes off and has cannon day. THey do some damage
