Brass golfball mortar
« on: April 23, 2007, 12:01:57 PM »
Well I wanted a brass golf ball mortar so I contacted Brooks usa and asked him to build me a custom one, I have a few of his other mini cannons and liked his work, Can't wait for this one!  Here are some pics as he just started it :)  Just click on pics to enlarge

Well your right, I am hooked.  Michael at Brooks said this mortar will be a new creation! He is also making the base with an adjustable elevation and will offer this on his site later, I am the guinea pig.  Intoodeep that is a real nice mortar, Thanks for the pic.
