Inquiring young and dangerous minds can find it at just about any public library.

carefully?




sorry...couldn't resist....
Carefully indeed, some neighbors attempted this feat and the results were fatal. The cannon exploded removing their garage door as well as someone's face. So take every precaution.
 
I know of a guy who built one out of a train-axle (the cannon was pretty big) by somehow hollowing it out.

I know a place you can BUY authentic, antique ones for $40,000.00 us if you are interested. :)
Atlanta Cutlery's antique department sells them...if you've got nothing else to do with that kind of money.
 
Just to give you some ideas if you ever do find out, we have a BP cannon at my Ranger Outpost that looks like a flag base (we have two of them actually). We use them as alarm clocks for the camp during pow wow and then run back to the camp and stick the flags back in them. No-one the wiser.
