OMG Lenn, that is positively Mid-Evil, I love it and it seems to group well to boot.

What a fine dark ages assortment you have there, and what more excellent representatives of your craftyness and craftsmanship!

I don't suppose you have a trebuchet parked out back do you?!?!

AWESOME Lenn!!!  8) 8)  Might be one of my favorite "Lenn Creations" yet!

We made trebuchets in high school but they had to fit through a classroom door, so mine was made from PVC pipe and actually worked quite well. It's still buried away up in the rafters of my parent's garage right now.

Ah ha ... so I see you actually did have a trebuchet parked out back, albeit a very small one!

Lenn, you never fail to amaze!!!
