Jak vyrobit dělo - How to make a cannon

Nekomerční projekt Slánská rota 1469 - 1474 si k 10. výročí svého vzniku splnil sen a po dvou letech prací dokončil projekt rekonstrukce děla z konce 15. století. Díky všem, kdo nám pomohli či poradili a také našim rodinám, které nám tolerovaly mnoho hodin, které jsme strávili v dílně namísto s nimi.
Non-commercial reenactors group „Slánská rota“ (Company of town Slaný) has made its dream come true and celebrated 10 years anniversary by finalizing two years lasting project of reconstruction of the cannon from late 15th century.
Many thanks to all who helped or advised us and special thanks to our families for extraordinary tolerance for plenty of hours which we spent in a workshop instead of being with them!

This is totally legit. Hats off to you

Very impressive. I'm being inspired.
From the lack of recoil when firing I am assuming that you were firing blanks. Do you have any plans to actually fire projectiles?
Also, how did you manufacture the chambers? Did you mill out a solid piece of steel or did you weld or otherwise attach a plate to the rear of the chambers?
Thanks.

Thank you for your interest. The chambers are officially authorized only for shooting without a projectile, so we do not plan the actual firing of projectiles. The chambers are turned from one piece of material.
