Icarus, what you are saying is very informative indeed. However it is (almost) unreadable, there is not one full stop!
Here is the same text with a few extra words, and some punctuation:
Grab a small quantity of barbecue charcoal, lump wood not briquettes. It is marvelous for rocket propellant bp.
An old hand opperated mincer from any car boot / jumble is great for grinding charcoal to a fine enough mesh to go into your ball mill or to be used in fountains. Also look out for coffee grinders, they are faster than ball mill for grinding chemicals fine enough for some applications such as core-burning rockets. Wash out well and dry after use. They are safe milling single chemicals only, don't grind mixes in them.
A dust mask from car paint spray suppliers is a must if you want to avoid black snot and lung problems later in life.
For binding stars, buy some corn flour to make dextrin. There are instructions for this else ware in the forum.
I think you will find that there are plenty of reading books on pyrotechnics, and that you can buy them online at vendors such as skylighter.com.
Eyes are very valuable and delicate, and the nature of pyrotechnics demands that you provide them with protection. While your hands are not so delicate, they are often right in the danger, and fireproof gloves will be the difference between a blister and hospitalization.
Rockets and bp are excellent first projects, any clown can make a bang and p*ss his neighbors off, but we recommend that you make something creative instead. Always work with long good fuse and enjoy!!!

The monkey leaped off it's sunny perch and flew off into the night sky.
