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....

NICE!
Where are they being made in Texas?

I don,t know the exact location...but here,s the website...i have been in contact with them..for sets of plans...$20 each..which is a very good price...and they wished me well...

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

Lets see !! Wonder if that would deter the people that drive 80 mph down our road ??
