In this video I explain what a Thunder Mug is and how to use it. Also some video of it going off and torture testing it. Enjoy! www.ebay.com/itm/204415354195?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=74tRpcMYQtu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=74tRpcMYQtu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY thunder-boom.com www.spiereengineering.com
Thunder Mug Machining
Переглядів 5 тис.2 роки тому
Today we’re looking at the machining of these Thunder Mugs that I sell online. From start to finish I show how I make them. Skip through as much as you want - I’m still learning how to film and edit videos. www.thunder-boom.com/product-page/1-69-bore-thunder-mug-signal-salute-cannon
Cool!!!! I like to have something made.... its a stainless shot glass. 1 oz
I just ordered one. Now, where in California can i use it?
This is totally AWESOME !!!! Been running 1K gn of powder in it and rattling the windows in the area ... What is a good thing to use to clean the fuse hole ??? Been using pipe cleaners but it seems to be not very good ,, What have you folks been using ??? Forgot to mention I bought a 2nd mug and having twice the fun ...
Hello! (from Patti in Oregon - old girlfriend of your dad's from half a century ago!) At first i'd thought the device was a super heavy duty steel thermo flask you were making, then found your video that tells about it & shows demos of it. You sure have a spectacular workshop, equipped with literally great machinery. btw - that decibel meter you used in your demo video - that is cool! Could you please tell me what brand it is, thanks! Blessings to you, your dad, & family! 🙂
Yeah.... you might not want to do that yourself!
I have 5 of your original thunder mugs and use them professionally several times a year. I have 2 that are starting to bulge about 5/100s of an inch. Yes, i abuse them. I'm looking to make another purchase this coming year and would like something more like the " fat boy". my order would be at least 5 and would like to know if theres a discount for any number of these. also do you do custom work along the same lines only bigger. sometimes I find myself on air fields 1000 ft away from spectators and need as big as I can get and still handle all things considered safely. I also fire electronically and need a bigger hole for the e-match.
Have you had any issue compacting with an e-match in the powder? What brand e-match are you using? I'm thinking these would work great in some of my firework shows to add some boom with a gas mine at the same time. I wasn't sure how safe it would be to compact with the e-match, unless maybe you add it after?
I drilled the ignition hole larger so the shroud on the ematch would not need pulled back. i NEVER put the ematch in the hole and then compact the black powder. i put a round stick in the ignition hole about 1" and then compact the blackpowder. remove the round stick and the insert shroud and tape securely.
Hey! Sorry but I’ve just seen your message. I have some contact information on our website. Could you reach out to me that way? I’ll keep an eye out for your message.

Awesome! I have the same one, 600gr. works great! Neighbors hate me!
Haha glad you love it. Neighbors either love it or hate it. 😂
Primo!
Wholesome, I dont have a following but I did buy one
what are the odds that I bought one THEN found your channel lol
😂 Glad you found us!
I love making loud booms that take your breath away. Your thunder mugs have done just the trick!
I've already bought 2 of your thundermugs, and they are both nice.
No info in description however!
Give me a call! 925-354-5393
🎉 Count me in!!
Made another purchase and bought your bullet thundermug and it made quite a bit more dust fly off the dirt road we were on, next time im going to pack it even more.
Update: it's pretty good.
Cool video man. Nice to see the process and all the fancy tools that go into machining something like this. You should update the description with your current link not the eBay one. 🍻💥🇺🇸💥
Thanks for the idea!
Which model are you making in this vid? Thanks
This is my original 1.60 bore cannon
Can't wait for mine to get here!
I just placed an order for one of these and now I’m watching the manufacturing, pretty impressed both with how it’s made and honest explanation of the entire process. I’m sure I’ll be happy with it!
Do that about fifty more times and you'll have her mowed! work harder not smarter wait what?😅
I wanna see someone put flash powder in it 😂
Would it be safe to cold blue a thundermug? I figure that could help with preventing rust, at least on the outside for added protection
yup!
Dubious TM claim 🤣
What size bore did this one have?
1.69”
Fixing to make one for my boss he would like to purchase one, if i was to machine one, to start golf tournaments. so thanks for the video.
That's awesome. check out our website: thunder-boom.com
Bought your 1 inch bore little man thundermug and it slams. First shot it was weak. Second shot i loaded about 3/4 of an inch of pyrodex FFF and packed bread almost all the way to top (pretty sure this small thundermug has a better wall thickness to bore ratio than the bigger one, i would be carful with how much you pack the other thundermugs) It lifted the dirt off the country road it was on from the shockwave..... Five stars, would totally recommend it. Stay safe guys.
Thanks for sharing!
Also , no fault of yours, but this is how I received mine
I bought one recently, can not wait to fire it off. Why do you turn down the outside diameter ? I would love to actually get a longer one than I bought. Lol I know still nots are expensive, but I would like to make a similar cannon as they used in the civil war, as a functional scale model as a lawn decoration.
We just posted a 24” naval style cannon on our website if you want to go check it out. www.thunder-boom.com/product-page/preorder-kracken-s-call-24-naval-cannon
I'm so jealous of that shop. So excited to play around with ours! Great video.
I highly recommend this device to all golfers trying to get more distance on their drives.
I had no idea these were more for just entertainment nowadays. I thought they had a more practical use like placing at the entrance of a rabbit hole or similar critters.
These mugs work really well ;-)
Thanks! We think so, too! 😊
I really enjoyed the video and your enthusiasm. You should make something along the lines of a Civil War Parrot cannon or maybe an early ships cannon. The trunnions might be impossible to machine on the barrel but you might supply them with the cannon and folks could weld or have them welded on. Maybe you could drill and tap shallow holes for the trunnions and screw them on? Anyway, I do know it would be a lot more work but your prices are very fair, so perhaps it could be an option?? Good Luck - Make More Videos!
I did just make this one for sale now: www.thunder-boom.com/product-page/preorder-kracken-s-call-24-naval-cannon. Maybe not exactly the kind you're talking about, but I did make it kind of like naval ship signal cannons.
Very Nice. I'm just learning about these. Where the hell have I been? Now I'm placing my order. Thank you! Hello From Pahrump Nevada!
Great job love your work what size is the one you made in the video thanks for sharing
I bought one of these and I would highly recommend it .. I worked my way up to 800 gn and was very impressed ... The key to the whole thing is compression ,, Don`t be afraid to use two hotdog buns and pack it in tight .... It`s really loud !!!
Safety suggestion, borrowing from U.S. civil war re-enactors shooting cannons: Never pour powder directly into the muzzle. A spark could remain from a previous firing. Make a cartridge out of aluminum foil containing a measured charge. (You can make them ahead of time so loading/firing is quick and easy). To load, put the cartridge into the muzzle and tamp. Then pierce the cartridge through the fuse hole with a piece of 12-14 ga. copper wire, then insert the fuse. Continue loading wadding, etc. Fire!
I have seen them use an old 1/8” drill bit with a wooden handle and clean out the vent hole as well as puncture the load to accept the fuse. At least in a real,cannon.
I have always wanted to be a professional!
Haha!
We're working as professionals?!?! Professional what? Pumpkin executioners?
One thing I have learned in gunsmithing is to use a flat end mill cutter when trying to cut into curved surfaces. There are some instances where a barrel has to be set into a trunion and pinned in place. Once we have set the barrel into the trunion we clamp the piece into the Vice and use the flat end mill to cut into the barrel through the pin hole. Where a pointed drill will walk the flat end mill cuts into the edge of the barrel without walking. Might order one next time I am back in the states. Shipping into the EU is way too costly not to mention cost of the customs thieves here.
BP question, you mention several different grain levels/courseness. What is the preferred level for maximum effect without worry from pre-detination or any other ill effects?
Where do we get one of these without going through Ebay?
Hi! I also sell on Etsy (several styles/sizes/price points available): thunderboombytj.etsy.com
And...I will have a product site up very soon.
Price and where to buy is what i am reading comments for nothing else
Hi! I currently sell on eBay (but hope to have a product website soon). Here’s a link to one of them. There are a few styles and price points available. Thanks! www.ebay.com/itm/204415354195?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=74tRpcMYQtu&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=74tRpcMYQtu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Great video, quality American made Thunder Mug. I would have liked to see dB readings using less powder. Great, for the 4th of July. I can still find a few gun-shops that keep and sale black powder. I have never come across the fuse cord before.
I'll have a new video soon comparing dB readings with different charges.
So in other words, when I'm peacefully relaxed and chillin in bed at 12am in late June/Early July, and there's suddenly an explosion so loud it sets off every car alarm in the neighborhood... I have you to thank? Gonna go ahead and leave a dislike
