You can email the files to me and I’ll post ‘em. ;)
 
how do you convert them? I have all the cannon videos also I want to post.
You can make a public YouTube channel and upload them there. Then share a link/links.
 
Between the flu going thru my house and snow (finally), I didn’t get to make it. I wish you the very best my friend. Texas is getting a hell of a good person, and she is bringing her husband too (hahaha). Take care Larry, I will miss seeing you on your mountain trips.
 
I’ll get some more stuff slow motion edited today and posted.
 
Sometime, the weld gave way on the big saw blade (gong). We decided to hang it with cables this time. So, we needed to drill 2 holes in the blade for the cables. Drill? Drill? Really? This is Battery Oaks, we don't need no stinkin' drill. Billy got out the 500 B&M hole puncher and Dr. Berry did the honors. Here he is making the second hole.



We hung some new O2 cylinders and moved a steel plate next to the gong. Turned out pretty good.

Great photos and videos. That cannon that was doing the backflips weighs about 15 pounds. Well, it did before it blew up.

Hahahaha...…….and WHY were we not surprised ???? With @gunbelt feeding it ??
 

That barrel is now well proofed. The weld between the cannon & carriage had a slight failure though. Note to self- a load of one lb 1F black powder will be the next test. I think it will be fine. Might be best to leave my car parked out front.

Well, we know that the barrel can withstand a 3/4 pound 1F charge. Maybe next time take it to @Michael458 and let him hook it up and pressure test the loads. It might get a little smokey in there, though.
