Thanks, LS! The "fire in the hole" I got right from the get go, it was "happy fourth of July" that was throwing me for a loop, and it's weird, because now that you told me what's being said I can now hear it as plain as day.


ETA: I just noticed that Tomb was telling me what was said. "Happy 4Th of July....that is southern Hilbilly.....lol    tomb"   
Maybe I need some attention deficit pills to go along with a hearing aid.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

yes its wood with iron reinforcements
probably norwegian , 1650 to 1700
but the style was used in all northern european countries
maybe even in the south

This would be fun to make.  Does anyone know of any survivors or replicas?  I sure would like to see a picture of one.

Not as elaborate, but a similar bed (reproduction) for an English mortar on display in the Tower of London.
