soldered them up anf the sabot is turned from a 150 year old timber. There are cast iron ball and saw dust from the old timbers packed inside. I found a way to age the tin.

We have some serious craftsmen posting here. Nice work.
I reconstructed this 6pdr one entirely from original parts found in the Oconee River dump.
