Finally....instead of the many videos where people are just pretty much motioning their hands to describe the process of cannon making, here's a video that actually gives a bit of details and shows some of the tools and methods used to making a cannon

1978Bajax, It sure does. I remember making fun of my parents, grandparents, etc for talking about those good ol' days of things but over the past decade started realizing that the good ol' days are actually something to value and try to retain instead of promoting changes from them.

Yet i want to see how the drillbits are made. Lathe/drilling in waterwheel is known process.

Thank you for this. My D&D players want to make cannons and I've been stumped on how to handle setting up a cannon forge.

3:01 Those metal chip cuttings are amazingly consistent for water power, I didn't think water could push so hard as to drill iron, I just found this show a month ago and I can't stop watching, I've been out of school for 6 years, I'm 24 and Deane and Rob make me hungry for knowledge

Force equals mass times acceleration. You can get a big mass of water and you can get gravity to move it fast. You also can use levers and gear ratios to increase the amount of work done.

Thank you so much for uploading this. It's exactly what I was looking for.

Sus.

I used to have all my birthday parties there in the 80s! it was so awesome. there was a boat ride with animatronics and you could fire canons. It had a makeover in the last 10 years so i'm not sure what is different now but i remember it well

Curiosity show brings back fond memories of Australian childhood in 1970's/ 80's. Cheers

Everything about this video has such a wonderful aesthetic

Thanks. Making all that back in the old days , without electricity, AMAZING !

Thanks for the post. What was done pre-electricity and other kinds of motors is astonishing - building cathedrals, fortresses, pyramids, huge ships. Hard to imagine now. Lots more segments at www.youtube.com?curiosityshow - Rob

@@CuriosityShow well I've worked on some old small arms, and figured they must have had a time with hand drills. But, how in the world could they ever make a decent cannon ? very little info was available.. now I know

I had no idea how much time it took in the past to make cannon's, amazing presentation Deanne and Rob.

Thanks for uploading this, my neighbors won't stop annoying me and I think this will help

The Deutsches Museum of Science and Technology in Munich had (may still have) some interesting displays of windmills and water wheels, and part of that was a model/display of cannon manufacture. They had the cannon vertically oriented within a large heavy wooden structure, open at the bottom to facilitate shavings removal. Horses could also be used to turn the boring tools. Quite an interesting display!

Thanks for sharing.

Videos like these are amazing! Thank you.

So. Bend Replicas. South Bend, Indiana. They have a webite under that name.@@GunsAndAmmo3

Awesome!

What video tape is this from?

My God. That was heck of a job in gone days.

Thanks, I will use this for home defense.

The smaller cannon he talked about at around 1:50 is a falconet if I’m not mistaken.

Thank you so much

Thank you for video. I guess that "drilling magic" accuracy was connected with usage of reamer, than turning technique (fixed tool vs fixed detail). Any kind of "magic" stink is probably a boring forgery.

Is the mill still there?

+keeleeng It was filmed in Tasmania at the Penny Royal Gunpowder Mill -really a recreation for tourists of how they used to make cannon, gunpowder and more at the time of Australia's European settlement. I am not sure if it is still operating, but well worth a visit if it is - Rob

as a US citizen,I can own a musket without a license, the same with cannons. Even if I'm not even old enough to get some sort of license for that So can felons in the USA

Tf 5000kg? For one barrel? Holy fck that's indeed heavy

I'd assume that even those small cannon with cast bores would have to be reamed to smooth them. Is that correct?
