And my tuesday gets even better.
Just when I thought I'd seen it all. Sometimes people bring some weird sh#t in here they need some machining done to. This guy pulls up in a big red H2 hummer and asks if we can open the cannon ball hole up for him all the way to the fuse. Lol! I said sure. Why not. Hahaha!

Would have been better if he asked you to fab up a mount for mounting the cannons on the H2.

Re: And my tuesday gets even better.
I hope the owner isn't planning to fire the cannons. They appear to be cast iron.

I think they are just supposed to be decorative but people do bore the hole out and fire them. I think it's just blanks that make a loud boom like an M1000 makes which is equivalent to a 1/4 stick of dynamite. The hole is only about 8" deep so he want's it all the way back to the fuse.

Re: And my tuesday gets even better.
what if they are legit demilitarized cannons? Could you get in hot water for making them work again? SOunds like a project better suited for the people at American Gun's.
