 Please skip down a couple of messages, the pics finally got loaded!




Actually I was trying to load pics and ended up with nothing, poor computer skills and inability to read directions properly. DD has sent a tutorial and hopefully it will fix things. Thanks, LS

Are you asking how to post photos?

[Double D]

To post pictures from photo bucket to GBO you need to copy the code called IMG Code.  That looks like this:

Code: [Select]

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/TheDoubled/Image3.jpg[/IMG]
 

It’s found in the IMG Code window.  When you open your album and move your cursor over a picture a drop down window will appear.  Slide your cursor down and click on the box to the right of IMG Code and click on the box and make it turn blue. With your cursor on the blue, right click and select copy .

Go to the post you want to put the picture in.  Click in the reply window, then right click and select paste.  The code should appear

Make sure the code is on a separate line from text.

I use www.fototime.com a pay host for my pictures.

Let me know if that helps.

Hopefully a picture of my first cannon carriage made for a 14" Napoleon barrel.
Thank you for the patient tutorial DD!

Hmm... that looks vaguely familiar.

Coolest looking breakfast table cannon I've seen!   

What caliber?

[Terry C.]

I'm guessing by scale it's about 7/8" bore.

If so, I have some balls around here somewhere (.850).

Make sure when you post pictures you put any text on another line.  Otherwise you end up with the picture in the middle of the words like your second pic.

Nice looking cannon!

[little seacoast]

Terry, thank you for the plans. They made it simple. 
Cat Whisperer  It's a .75 caliber, found a source of inexpensive lead and steel ammo.
Blackie  Thanks for the tips, all help appreciated.

Very nicely done. Would you be willing to share the plans for the carriage? I was going to build a 4 wheeled carriage, but I like the looks of this one better.

Lil seacoast thats a dandy looking carriage ! where did you get the brass elevator scew ?

[little seacoast]

Rocklock, the elevator assembly is home made. Two nesting brass washers soldered together and ground to shape on a 0.25 brass bolt.
Pyro, there is a very complete thread by Terry C that I shamelessly used to build this carriage, just scaled it to my barrel size.

Nice two-truck!!

[RocklockI]

Nice work on the brass washers soldered together !

Here is the thread.

And here is the gun carriage "in action" ...
