  1. Default What else can you do ?( what talent do you have)

    I have a skill and talent of automatic rotery cutterhead building. I can freehand grind intricate shapes on industrial knives and balance them for a "head" that rotates at about 3,000 RPM.

    I am a dying breed.

    I like cannons, too.

    I bought the square nuts, lock, and chain. The rest of the stuff was built from scratch. I drew up the plans and a machinist friend made the barrel. He also made about 1/2 the "iron" and I made the rest.

    I use 1,050 grains of black powder. It is bored for golf balls, but they are rather dangerous to shoot - since it is kind of hard to know where they are going to land.

    Having a skill is a wonderful thing. If you can support yourself and your family using your skill, that is absolutely outstanding,,,

    BUT... I had a skill that I was very, very good at. I competed with professionals and won 15 tournaments but still couldn't support my family. Winnings in 1984 was $22,360... my expenses that year was $24,000+. My skill sucked, your skill is beautiful and unique enough it might work for you.

    Best wishes, and good luck.
