Get two Science polish boxes and drive an inch nail through the middle of each box and drive one of the nails on each side of the block and you have wheels on the cannon. Drive a six inch nail in the front of the block to make a handle. To make cannon-balls get a turnip and make cannon-balls about one-eight of an inch smaller than the muzzle.
