Hi Fernando,
I'm afraid not, after many hours consulting copious medical text books the only treatment I could find for your condition is to reach 21 and even then there is no certainty that the 'cannonmania' will be cured.

P.S. The above 'medical' diagnosis may come in useful when explaining aforesaid collecting compulsion to wives, inquisitive felines etc.

My Regards,
Norman.

Hi Fernando,

I have to congratulate you on the very beautiful stand you made for your High Gothic barrel! All aspects considered, it conveys a good impression of how the complete piece may have looked like some 600 years ago - imagine!

Also, your gift of close oberservation has to be praised: the proportions of the iron bands as well as of the rear iron ring look very convincing to me.

You let me speechless with pride.
