Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

What you can do with £330 & prep work!

This year I did the display on a field near the house again so I could better space the cakes out. All the spectators stayed in the back garden about 70 Meters away. Worked out great and the neighbors loved it as always!

All Manual firing with pin board this year. More fun!

40mm Salute

This year I did the display on a field near the house so I could better space the cakes out. All the spectators stayed in the back garden about 70 Meters away. Worked out great and the neighbours still got a show.

I modified the KING OF PALMS cake a little, It had 3 angled shots fire in the middle. I changed them to fire at the end. The 40mm Salute had 10g Flash.

All electrically fired down to the second with my DIY firing system.

Better late than never.

~~Fire order~~
THE OUTSTANDING – 180 Shots
BIRD OF PREY – 25 Shots
ENIGMA – 20 Shots (Angled -35)
ENIGMA – 20 Shots (Angled +35)
SHOCKWAVE MINE

KING WILLOW was used for NewYears.

All electrically fired down to the second with my DIY firing system.
Everything in this video was purchased from Great Northern Fireworks.

Due to changes in the law some of the chemicals I use to experiment with are now on the regulated substances list so I can no longer buy them without a valid EPP licence.

After 2 September 2014, it is an offence for a member of the public to acquire or import any of the regulated substances without holding a valid EPP licence issued by the Home Office.

Although my experiments follow the guidelines from HSE, for the interest of safety I have decided to bring my experiments to an end.

I have learned so much about the correct storage and handling of chemicals used in pyro, how pyrotechnic devices are made and safely used and much more.

Its been fun! but all good things come to an end so even better things can begin.

10 x 1 gram Flash with 5% TI
2 x 3 gram Flash with 10% TI
2 x 4 gram Flash,  Did not take a photo of the extra shots added.

I was going to use this at the end of my 5th of November show, but I had space limitations and did not feel it safe to use it.

The wind kind of takes away from how loud it was.
Here is a comparison of the 1g and 3g that was made during testing. No titanium.

Yet again a fantastic finale peace. All electrically fired down to the second with my DIY firing system.
The last 12 years of fireworks have been amazing, already thinking about next year. On to bigger and better things for 2015.

Thanks to my bro for the help. Speeds production up with two people.

1 x Imperial Blink 21 shot
2 x Wave Willow 19 shot
6g Flash TI Salute with Red Rising Comet

WARNING: Video is LOUD!! .

My cameraman was 40 meters away, but my Galaxy S3 had a hard time with sound.
One of the spectators came to me saying. “That was a bit violent” lol. Yes it was.

Shell INFO:

• 40mm
• 60 grams total weight
• 3 x 1 gram flash inserts
• 30 grams 2FA break
• 6 grams 2FA lift

I make my spolette’s with the same tubes I make for my 10mm Flash insert’s.
I add small increments of 4FA/7FA Black powder and ram, I keep increments and ramming the same each time, this way I get a consistent grain throughout.

The burn rate is 1 second per cm. This is perfect for shell timing.

This spolette has a 5cm thick core, so should be 5 seconds.
