The "holder" for rods is actually the barrel of a fucking cannon that Chris made, reproducing the gun from a military ship. The History Channel filmed it and they fired it at a military test range (he showed me photos from it). While it's not the barrel that was test-fired for the documentary, it's still an impressive rod-holder!

OK...it was acutally made for a British Channel 4 program called Time Team Special 41 - War of the Roses (Bosworth, Leicestershire) and starting around 17 minutes in, you can see the cannon's construction including an interview with Chris. Neato!
