Dom put me to work!
« on: October 08, 2009, 03:12:02 PM »
Well, no. Not really! But, I made you look!  ;D  ;D  ;D

 However, he's gonna keep me pretty busy with my new project. I feel I can blame "RocklockI" for starting this 1/3 scale Confederate Parrott thing.  :) One I saw his I kept pondering until I caved. Dom, Thanks again for the awesome product. I just hope I can successful build a carriage to do it the justice it deserves.

One thing that continues to amaze me is the skill of our members. From Mike and Tracy's and Dominck's machining to the wood working skills that just about everyone seems to demonstrate. Great work everyone. Frank

 No, I didn't make the wheels. I do not have a lathe and I definately could not bend the 1/4" steel rim. So, I had to have my checkbook give me help with the wheels.  :D

 Yeah, but he always a bit off balance and doesn't seem to generate much interest these days.  ;D So, I need take advantage of him when he's feeling well.  :)

Looks like the work of two respectable craftsman.
