Title: more Boom-Booms
Post by: bigwull on November 14, 2013, 04:39:41 PM
Well guys...have been busy again...more wooden toys...for big boys...these 2 are made of oak,...30in long.....they have been test fired..but have now been plugged...they can still emit smoke.but no projectile...as i want to stay on the right side of the law...and if i list them on ebay..they don,t allow, anything that can fire a projectile....I,ve had a few enquires...and it looks like my cottage enterprise may bring in some much needed funds...these along with my tables...are enjoyable to make, and my hours are flexible....

I don,t know about the high end prices...but..the ones priced around $2200/$2500..do...cos i found another site that retails them,and when i made an enquiry..i was told there was a 3 month waiting list....the one,s shown on that site are far superior to ours,,..but then our  prices are a good deal lower,.....but there,s still a lot of work went into making them...around 45 hours + the materials,.and of course the fun involved when we test fired them....like yesterday...in my workshop....it was a big boom...and my pal Bill,had a grin on his face from ear to ear...and a lot of ringing in his ears... ;D
