    Default re Hub rings

    Hi Eskimo, I too have been following this impressive build with interest and as a result I have been doing a lot of reading and research into the Napoleon cannon and the American Civil War.

I found that out from a very interesting and informative online document which is actually the ordinance manual for use of officers, printed in 1861, at the beginning of the war. In this 600 page manual are itemized diagrams of the various weapons of the time.. including the Napoleon.

    The real cannons had to be proof fired and if they failed proof, they were rejected.. duh!. As a matter of curiosity, will your model need to be proof fired and if so .. how would it be done?
    Regards

    Friday am after 24 hrs of rain the naves on the hubs were still loose...no sign of timber taking in the moisture

    Saturday am....the naves are stuck fast in the spots the were last at ...thats because they were so loose they would move if knocked or the wheel being moved

    Anyhow, its good to know the wheels and hubs have taken up moisture and expanded after the very hot spell...will give it another day or two (we are expecting more rain next week) before giving the wheels a darn good heavy polish to seal and hopefully prevent the naves from falling off during future intense seasonal changes??
