I built a 24-pounder Naval gun from Jerry Howell’s plans in 2002. My missus said – since we have 2 sons – I’d better make another so they can have one each when I croak (not that that’s in my current plans 🙂 )

Took a while, especially the cap squares. The new one’s the nearer, paler one.

Gonna hafta do summat about that gap behind the bumper, but that can wait.
