Golf Ball Mortar
« on: March 03, 2007, 02:32:00 PM »
I have a little work left on the barrel and a lot of work on the bed. More pictures will follow. I still do not have a powder can, but I posted a print.

Great pix!

Good finish and I like the details on the reinforcements and all the chamfers and radii.

Next come pix of the base AND some SMOKE!

Do we assume that since the radius of the bottom the powder chamber is  .250 that the diameter of the chamber is .500?
