Welcome to Garden Ballistics, the website devoted to home made cannons, electronics, pyrotechnics and amazing ballistic inventions! The projects on this website are items of which I have designed myself either from scratch or from a development of previous examples that I have seen. I think that these projects would be good for the basis of any amateur who is interested in starting in this exciting hobby. However please read my disclaimer at the bottom of the page.

Each of the projects have been described in detail with accompanying photos of the work in progress. They also outline improvements and advice for the operation of the completed item.

It would be great to hear from you on your thoughts of a particular project or any improvements I could do to the web site. I am very happy to help out with any of your own projects or give advice – just contact me.

I will continue to add and update projects to the site, but of course this can sometimes be a lengthy process due to limits with time and money!
