Hi All,
Well Ithought I would give Jeff Staudt' "The Smasher" a go. I just thought it was just cool looking. A great little project to take a break from my Batteau. Since now I am scratching the planks. Spoiled by the kits having the planking figured out. Oh well. I decided on the smasher since it is spring time in the america's. So i am spring cleaning my scrap box out. I spent part of the day doing prep work....

Hi Mario, Where can I get plans for the Smasher, and does Jeff have other plans out. His plans are great for Intermediate Ship Builders. Thanks Don

Hey Dave nice to have you stop by.

Hey Mike it might take me a little long to complete because I ordered pen blanks so I can turn the barrel itself. I enjoyed wood turning in High school so now you know it has been a while. That will be the slow part on this build. And thats where it is going on my desk at work....

Hi Mario,

It will surprise you how fast you can turn a cannon barrel out of ebony it is very easy to work with and takes a fine polish on the lathe.

Hi Mike. Well I plan on using HSS turning tools. But I mean slow going because I have not turned a thing since High Scholl days. LOL! SO a think I am a bit rusty.
