Just like to say hello to the board.  I've been on a few times before and now I have some time to figure out how to post some pics.  Anyway, my name is Dominick Carpenter from southeastern Pa, and after building race cars (drag cars) for the past 25 years I decided to build cannons full time. Here's a few pictures of what I am currently selling.  It's a breath of fresh air doing something different for a change and I'm happy to be part of this forum, thanks much! .. Dom

dominick -

You're certainly welcome on this forum.  I suggest that you place an add on GBO (for the cannons/mortars you have for sale) and then make a reference to it here - that would be in keeping with the rules of Graybeardoutdoors.com .  Of course anything of your personal collection is VERY welcome right here.  (Not to mention you'd be welcome as a forum sponsor as well!)

Since you've build race cars for a living you're more than just casually experienced in both compettion and the issues of quality of worksmanship.  We'd love to hear some of the wealth of stories that you've accumulated!

Check out our 'sticky' on how to post pictures.  The one you used will work only for you, as you have to be signed in as you for it to work.  You will have to post a different line of code (that us common folks can use) to make the link to your picture.  OR there is another line of code that will insert the picture itself  in the post.

There are several free image posting services.  If you have trouble posting pictures it just means you're normal.

If you did talk with him then, this is just more evidence of how small the  world we live in has become.  Life is good.
