Very impressive! You must have a good sized bed...on your lathe.

Now, why stop at golf balls? :o http://www.bighammer.net/images/BBcannon2.jpg (http://www.bighammer.net/images/BBcannon2.jpg)

its a 5ft bed,....why stop at golf balls....well, they don,t cost us anything...they are a good fit in the barrel,which is really a scaffold tube encased in oak,tube dia, is 41.5mm....golf ball is 41mm....which makes it perfect ....and....a golf ball can do a heck of a lot of damage....when its travelling at over 2,400 feet per second,
