    Definitely NOT honey, anything that angry has to be very acidic.

    Here is a glimpse of what it might look like (will be a different colour though)

    You are going to need a few liters of hombrew to build that, then you will have to change name to 240mm after you press a few heavy artillery barrels.

    I would love to get my hands on an old 16" naval gun barrel (or the whole gun maybe...)

    Imagine the bliss and harmony!

    Cool we can just call you 400mm

    100% if you have neighbors at the moment, once the ironworks starts and then the heavy artillery... well they will soon leave.

    I have only ever heard 105mm rounds going by which sound awesome, apparently the big ones sound like a train.

    If I were one of those billionaire type guys, I would have someone build me a battleship and Id have a crew to run it. Put some fancy stuff inside and cruise around sinking rogue containers during the summer!

    USS Missouri i think when they trolled her out for the first gulf war. The ammunition was getting old and what better use for it. There are quite a lot of utube clips of her going bang like that. Awesome.

    When you build your press, i have the perfect lubricant to use for it, politicians, the slimiest greasiest bastards going round. Just grab a new one and throw it in when needed, plenty of the bastards around.
