Thread: Foam Lathe PVC cannon

Tweet

Searching around for plans for making cannons, I came upon this site that has step-by-step instructions and photos for making a terrific looking cannon, looks like it can be adapted into an air cannon.

I'm also looking for plans to add a small water(rum) pump to a skelly drinkin from a bottle and the rum splashes into its ribcage(or appears to)..

Here are a bunch of links for air cannon guts and triggers...

Skygodtj, If your still looking for ideas for rum drinking skelly, I can help I made one last year. This is an old post so I wasn't sure if you found plans or not.

I forgot abt this thread and just stumbled across it.. Havent found any plans for it yet.. I looked at your pix and caption, water pump, red food dye, bottle and will try it.. I have next Wed to the end of the month off so I've got a few days to try it.. looks like a fun project! Great yard by the way! I love the skelly lying on the large cannon! Can you email the steps you used, or have a website you went to?

Thanks..

TJ

Thanks! I sent you an e-mail with the instructions.

Hi BB.. I dont remember if I sent the link for my video of the drinking skelly I made, patterned after yours.. Daytime I used water with red food dye, but it tended to slash up and soak the shirt(red tint), (:30 and 1:00)... at night I used antifreeze as it glowed under a blacklight.. TOTers and the adults loved it..

Skygodtj, no you didn't but glad that you remembered. That turn out great!! I never would of thought to use antifreeze. So what did you tell everyone what he was drinking? Some kind of fancy pirate drink? I like the music you picked for your haunt and your ship is awesome too!! With the addition of talking skellies you'll be on your way to a Disney theme park attraction in your front yard!!!
