Battering Ram

By December 1, 2014

battering ramBattering Rams are a medieval siege weapon that are used to blow open the enemy’s gate or drive a hole through the castle wall.   Once this was accomplished, soldiers charged through the opening and the next stage of attack occurred.   Some day I would like to build a battering ram with my Daddy out of the wood we have in the garage.  I would like to build a wall and then break it down with my battering ram.
