Kevin Frederick's "Folger Mount"

Check out this clever impromptu mount by Kevin Frederick.  He needed a quick mount for a star party he was hosting for the Bedford (PA) Garden Club on November 1, 2007.  So that morning he invented this mount from his wife Jackie's old bowling ball and a metal Folger's coffee can.  It worked great!
