And this is where the Professor murders me.

Even so, I think I've selected a good term project for the shop class. We are going to make a cannon - specifically, an 1844 howitzer. We will be taking a short field trip (don't anybody faint) to Fort Hamilton within the next few weeks to take a look at that particular gun there. Then we're going to research, design, and build a replica here.

It'll be fun.

If they can come up with something to impress me, I'll pay for the party.

Cannons = not impressive. Medieval and primitive, yes.

Now, a magnetic-impeller launch rail for high-altitude unmanned aircraft, that would be impressive (if I hadn't already designed it over my coffee break).

Good to see some things haven't changed.
