Building a Superior Potato Cannon

Build a backyard legend. The foolproof guide to a powerful, safe, and reliable potato cannon. 

A detailed Course guiding you through the process to building your very own front loading Potato Cannon.

Basic Cannon: Full Course Access

$19

Course Description

Forget the duct tape and guesswork. If you are going to build a potato cannon, build it right.


This course is the ultimate weekend project for makers, hobbyists, and parents who want to build something awesome with their kids. I’ve taken the classic aerosol-powered spud gun and re-engineered it for maximum reliability, durability, and safety. You don't need to be a master fabricator to build this—you just need the right instructions, the right parts, and an afternoon in the shop.

What You Get in the Course:

  • Complete Video Instructions: I walk you through every single step of the build, from selecting the right PVC at the hardware store to gluing it up flawlessly.
  • The "No-Guesswork" Parts List: Exactly what to buy and where to get it (including links), ensuring your cannon is pressure-safe and built to last. 
  • Ignition System Upgrade: Learn how to install a reliable push-button spark generator so your cannon fires on the first click, every time.
  • The Fuel Guide: We break down the best standard propellants to use for maximum distance without fouling up your chamber.
  • Safety & Handling Protocols: My personal checklist for safe loading, firing, and storage, so you can have fun without the stress.

Who is this for? Anyone looking for a high-reward DIY project. Whether it's a father-son build or you just want to launch produce into the stratosphere, this course gives you the exact blueprint. No advanced tools required!

Included Items:

  • Detailed Digital Plans
  • Parts & Component list with Links
  • Complete Video Walkthrough Instructions
  • Files for 3D Printing (Optional)
