Hi all,
I did a lot of Lego cannon building research, for mine new cannons.
see: http://news.lugnet.com/pirates/?n=4176
I googled up a storm. But I can tell you that this group is the mother load
Lego cannon design. I have compiled a few of the many useful cannon links.

Well, thank you so very much for counting me among the giants of LEGO cannon
design. Youve inspired me to make more actually, and inspired me to spend about
$50 on bricklink this afternoon. Haha. I started off just buying a few more
bucket pieces (going to paint some pink ones black), but then I decided to get
backpacks, hats, and many weapons. Then I decided to not stop there and got many
other cool pieces. It added up quick but oh well. When I get them, Ill be
building another few huge cannons, as well as working on some smaller ones.
Thanks again. Daniel Yuhas
