Guns and Guys

Not a pipe threader. I'm guessing some wood working tool. Look at the trailer tounge

 

[etrain16]

The only pipe threaders I've seen and worked with all looked like this - we usually called them 'mules':





And we called the hand-held ones 'ponies':



We also had mechanical and hydraulic pipe benders for everything from 1/2" up to 6" GRC - none of them looked anything like that. I'm really curious to know what it was.

I looked all over Google Images and didn't find any pipe threader that looks like that. Nor any grenade launcher. But I did find a rotary cannon chain gun. Look at the business end.

Interesting. That prompted me to look for a moment and found this rather quickly - a hand-cranked rotary cannon in 37mm - the Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon. Bore size looks to me very similar to what was in the photo I posted.

 

[bbbass]

For sure! The iron framework and the mount is so similar also. 37mm, yeah I was thinking it to be bigger than a 25mm cannon.

Maybe a mockup of the various Star Wars cannons.

For some of you this image will be disturbing.
No nudity
No gore
No death

Ben, I see some latent tendencies coming out in your recent posts.
What's up with that, care to share your feelings?

I'd like to be in that kind of shape again.

I'm sure the lady's here are outraged though

I'd like to be in that kind of shape again.

I'm in "great shape," from a general fitness/performance standpoint... For 35. But yea... Im never gonna look like that again.

Its ok though.. Once you marry/kid up, you dont have to look good with your shirt off anymore

Maybe I'm vein but like my tattooist says, by the time I'm done people will see "a really tattooed guy" vs "a slightly fat guy"
