I got this idea to build a mini wooden cannon when I was looking at these old table legs that we had laying around the shop. Outside of the hardware, every part of this cannon is stuff I found around the shop. The wood for the base cam e from some rough cut lumber that I snagged from the trash pile at Home Depot and the wheels were made from a piece of a fence picket. It really makes you think twice when cleaning out scraps and "junk" from the shop.
I hope this video gives you a couple of good ideas for those scrap pieces around your own shop.
Thanks for watching!!
