This is a perrier, not the bottled water but rather a 13th
century oak siege machine at the
Tower of London, England. The replica was built by
Rick Lewis a traditional oak carpenter with the help of Dave
'bodger' Hodgson a mediaeval armourer. The machine was built using
illustrations in manuscripts from the 12th to 14th centuries using
the same oak construction techniques with hand hewn timbers.
