Thanks guys, glad you like it. I think that video was made 10-12 years ago. Its been around awhile but posted on You Tube just recently. I still giggle hearing my wife in the background . That is the "all steel cannon" in my photo album and now has a flip lock with musket nipple........................

I've looked and listened a few times now; did she call you something nasty, or just say your name(DEEEWAAAYNE)?

Whats up Doc?   Notice the small oak tree behind it as the fuse is burning and then the distance after the smoke settled. It actually only moved about two feet. That tree was only about 4 to 5 in dia then. Now the flame it belched out is a different story

Now this litle cannon looks familiar   Wonder where it came from    
 

Its pretty cool surfin' you tube videos and find one of your own cannons somebody else is having a ball with   If the person that posted that video is on this forum I would love to hear from you to get your feedback on it.

I assume you mean like that.  You have to include the url in youtube tags instead of url tags; sort of like this:

Code: [Select]

Thanks G, That is actually what I was doing, when I choose to "post" or "save" it would show up as "invalid link" so I repeated the steps 3-4 times with same results. This morning I go back to  it and what do ya know, the video was there!

I had read on an earlier post of yours explaining this and thought, well thats easy enough, however after several attempts it showed as "invalid link". This morning it was working normal for some reason I cant explain. I decided to do the same on the original post in this thread. I chose "modify" them highlighted the link, then clicked the YouTube tab, and it appeared exactly as both you and G illustrated. When I clicked "save" it shows as an invalid link. I am useing a tiny notebook with a limited version of 7, and have other issues at times, and wonder if that could be it.At this writing the original post in this thread shows as "invalid link" on my screen, It may be showing fine on yours/others. Thanks for the reply, we'll gitter figurd out

It's working now because I went into your post and changed the tags.  You had used url/url tags with some other formatting inside them.  I changed them to youtube/youtube tags and removed the other tags.
