French 75 pack & ship (lots of pics)

[dominick]

  Here's a few pictures of my re-designed French 75.  It's made to breakdown into a smaller crate for shipping.  I packed it yesterday and took some photos of the process.

Cannon pieces laid out for final assembly:



The Crate:  2" x12" lumber 3' x 6' x 12'' high:

My 7-year-old son just walked up, so I said, "look at this." He said, "Oh, cool!"

If you accidentally got that mixed up and sent it to Alabama, I wouldn't complain! That's a nice piece!

Maybe one like this can be number two for you Preacher.  Thanks for the compliment!
