JL Sargent Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Thanks guys. Yes, he worked on it til he was sick of it. Looking ahead, he is leaning towards building a 1/16th of the Hunley Confederate submarine which was actually built here in Alabama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Salute to the young Mr. Sargent - Appears to be research for WWl? Should you ever find yourself in KC MO you will probably enjoy the only World War l Museum in the county. Very informative with actual combat artifacts like tanks, cannons, uniforms, etc. They've constructed a life scale model battlefield depicting the sounds and perils of trench war fare. I imagine you and your son would really appreciate the experience. Checkout the KC Liberty Memorial web site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 A few interesting facts about those Mark I tanks: First tank to ever see the battlefield Sept. 15, 1916. 8 man crew, 2 had a place to sit. two 25 gallon gas tanks over the driver and commanders heads. One direct hit and pow. 4 mph top speed. No shocks or suspension of any kind. 6 cylinder gas engine that was hand started. They wore chain mail masked to protect from bullet fragments flying around inside tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comay Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Saturday, my son came into the garage and asks me what am I doing (along with a million other things). Then he asks to sit on the workbench. I pick him up and as soon as his feet leave the floor, Springsteen's "My Hometown" starts to play on the radio. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted June 6, 2017 Moderators Share Posted June 6, 2017 The salt on top the barrels might make you thirsty but what's inside would be rough to drink. It's aged 3 years The blending room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted June 6, 2017 Moderators Share Posted June 6, 2017 Exactly, you're good. It was our first time going and will probably go back and take a little more time to see everything, plus during the week the production line would be running. There were many things we never realized about the area, like this Mastodon tooth found in the salt mine in 1885 and that the property was originally a plant nursery. It's hard to tell the size from this pic, but it's about a foot tall and deep. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 We've been to the Tabasco factory also. It's pretty cool. We got to watch them bottling but never got to see them making it which is what I really wanted to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
