www.DiyPotatoCannons.com is a website you should consider stopping by to check out! Potato Cannons, otherwise known as spud gun, potato guns or even potato launchers, have been around for a while. This website, diy potato cannons, has developed a great set of downloadable plans to help you learn exactly how to make a potato cannon. Their plans are clearly written and include a bunch of pictures to make your assembly process as smooth as possible. They even include a potato cannon shopping list that you can take to the hardware store to get everything you need. You can literally buy everything at a hardware store! The plans only cost $4.99, so you have nothing to lose. Of course they offer a money back guaranty as well, but you won’t have to use it. The potato cannon can fire potatoes over a couple hundred yards, so you do have to make sure to follow all of the safety guidelines that they layout. And, because you are making this in your backyard, you obviously have to take it somewhere like a deserted field in order to test it. You certainly don’t want to send a potato through the window of your nice neighbor’s house! Well, even if you don’t like them, it’s really not your objected to put anyone in harms way, so make sure you find a safe place to fire your potato cannon. Enjoy your new DIY potato gun project and please let us know how it goes for you. You first potato cannon… is probably closer than you think!
