Hoping to get some help

Post by bahamut0013 »

I need to design a particular model of Origami. A friend of mine recently passed away, and one of his biggest hobbies was Origami. Since he was a Marine artilleryman, I was hoping to fold a paper cannon for him, but I can't seem to find any instructions (and my attempts look awful).

Can anyone help me?

Sorry to hear about your loss...

Can you post some photos of the kind of cannon you want to have? So that people have a better idea of what they should design.
So long and keep folding ^_^

About midway down on this page Canons. Taught by Dan Newman... someone may be able to help out on those.

Good luck.

The cannon taught by Dan Newman is a design by Robin Glynn. Robin has diagrams for it on his site:

Thanks. As frustrating as it was, it looks great.
