I've bought a 6 shell mortar (Pirastan), 1 [16 shots] cake(Billy) and 12 [20 shots] roman candles (which i plan to fuse up in some nice way), all from Alessi, a respected brand .
I will also shoot a few homemade rockets, fountains, hummers and tourbillions...

I hope my friends will also contribute with something! ;)

What will YOU shoot?

my display will not be that fancy but i am building wistle rockets and have 10 more star mines to load, there will be a large amount of salutes used, don't know why but the guys that i will be around like the explodie stuff over the more art full stuff that takes a lot longer to make.
I also wear a vintage kevlar flak vest during the show

A 5 minute long pyromusical for the local town, about 150 shells, 40 mines + cakes, candles and some blue bengals :rolleyes: . It'll likely be a bundle of laughs setting it up since it's on an exposed hilltop above the town square :huh:

Cant say my new years will be as fun, just going to be wasting a box of fireworks that rolled over from nov 5th. Though me and a friend are having a challenge on making the best electrical detonator based on 3 points,

Ease of Use
Cost
Reliability

Right now, I'm celebrating New Year by pumping 'slow gold' comets in a remote, cold, rainy, unheated workshop in 95% humidity at 1:30am, with a cold, wet, dog looking at me as if I'm mad. :mellow:

And I thought we only had workshops like that up here in Cumbria! BTW, all dogs think we're mad, unless of course, you happen to preparing their food :P

My new year is going to be pretty basic, just set off a big comet candle in the garden. Earlier in the evening I might set off a few more fireworks, including my Indian Fish!
OK, interest in fireworks to be resumed in the spring. It usually is. ;)

My New Years will be quiet this year. Became a dad Dec 20, so no partying ATM. Trying to make a waterfall to set off at the neighbor's place, that'll be about it.
