Rainy day project
« on: August 29, 2010, 09:31:59 PM »
When all the grandkids were here in May, they told me that they wanted some golf ball mortars. So I built a couple of K.I.S.S. mortars for them this afternoon.



Now to make some bases....

 ;D...Those look great, the grandkids should love them! They can use your help in learning safe firing practices! BoomLover

I don't believe that!  I'm going to get second opinion from Joann.   :)

    I have always like the KISS Mortar, DD.  Those look really nice. I bet they will be enjoyed.  I bet you already knew that Mike and I borrowed an element or two from the  KISS  design as we were designing our big French Paixhans Monster Mortar.  The best designs are very frequently the simplest.

I have made 6 of these things now.

I thought the one I made last spring would be my last and for me.  I loaned it to Phyllis and Jim at Ben Franklin when their grandson was here and now they want it.  

I am doing the excel spread sheet for making a standard pattern coehorn out of the pizza oven axle South Paw and I got last spring.  Maybe I can keep that one.
