So...What Did I Miss?

[WoodenJefferson]

Just got back from vacation, catching up on events and postings...congrats Bruce on the sale of a famous US Coin.

 

Please forgive if this is old news here, needed coin related item to get back into the swing of things, this seemed appropriate.

Welcome back been missing you posts Wow were to begin we have had some Very intresting things goining on but never mind that ? did you bring any nice coins back ?

[WoodenJefferson]

I have been in the middle of Nebraska dodging tornadoes for the past 3 weeks. I did not have the opprotunity to look for any coins, but did drop quite a few coins building this niffty fort for my youngest Grandson, (age 6) for him to enjoy this summer.

 

Been reading a few posts here and there...had to tend to the yardwork here at home first, but will eventually get back into the Numismatic Mind Set once again.

 

~waving to everyone~

Welcome back Woody. I'll bet that made the grandson grin

Welcome back, Woody! I only have one question about the fort. Why not a chain gun rather than a 50 cal? It's far more effective.

The 30mm Amour Piercing, Hi-Incendiary depleted uranium rounds were by far, a bit more expensive than the Ball Ammo for the .50 Caliber Ma-Duce. Besides, the 7/8" wooden dowels were $4.98 apiece, imagine buying 7 of them to outfit a Gating gun. Besides, I would have had to build the fort around the gun, this way with a Browning .50 Cal with a Butterfly Toggle, they can be dismounted and fired akin to a G.I. Joe comic book. Ratta-tat-tat.

 

(Although, there is the three barrel 30mm chain gun slung under the nose of an a Apache helicopter...hmmm, perhaps)

 

I did use a .5 half dime for the bore guaging though, just to keep it with in tolerences.

Maybe for your next project, you can build a hangar for your grandson's A-10 Warthog.

 

Welcome back!
