Yeah ,, seems to be working :D Watching it ,, of what value is it ??? He doesnt even tell you what wood it is ?? There is no commentary ,, which really leaves this clip in the No WATCH pile IMHO ,, seems like Whitling wood in front of a fire to me , but lucky enough to have a bottle of Champagne in a plastic bag . Thats Handy :D An empty bottle at that ... maybe he drank it before making this clip :wink:

The syntax of your closing tag is wrong. It should be - note the slash

Code: Select all

[/youtube]
So it should read:

Code: Select all
