This seems to be one of those things that every one has to do somewhere some when! I looked on the net for an accompanying picture and there are thousands!. I remember doing it and it surely is something for nearly every boy� I don�t know about girls.. to do. Someone seeing the piece for the first time commented it was very phallic. I can�t recall that being the intention in climbing a cannon when I was kid and this piece is really just a reflection of my memory of those things I did as a kid that I haven�t done much since! I had a wonderful piece of a car joint and this called out to be made into a cannon..but I had to weld it in place to stop it falling down! (Recycled)
