Always aim higher is my advice! If you keep trying to get the effect you want then I'm sure you will get there.

Yes, some of us made fireworks that can compete with any professional made firework. If you log into Passfire you will see in the last issue pictures of the last Florida show. Some of the fireworks made by people who come from Europe - and they are bigger and many times better then any you will see on an average show.
Of course - the availability of raw materials and the law make it difficult to work in the UK, so at least some work in different countries.

About 2 1/2" cylinder shells with lampblack willow stars. Worked really well with a nice drop and hang (if you know what I mean!)
Not very huge yet I know, but a good place to start.

I think i'll use a mortar with ammonpulver to launch payloads instead.

Can you please give some more information about the rocket you constructed?
I've got a fair amount of experience regarding rockets so maybe I can help you.

There are quite a few Non UK members who have posted some really nice video clips the last one posted by Yugen biki is very tasty..Karlfoxman and chemical wazi are the only UK ones who have posted some video clips recently.
I am intrested to know how many other members make "GOOD" fireworks?..
I first asked this question in November 2003 so i thought i would ask it again ..
I think filming your pyro creations is very important..when i set off a firework i have an adrenilin rush that fogs out my memory.. without it captured on video i have problems recalling the height, burst size, symmetry, how many stars blown blind etc...
Please post some clips of your "Best fireworks"
I have not made any pyro sofar this year but hopefully in the next few months orso i will be posting quite a few clips...

I recently set off a 30mm comet as this was the first one I had made, I was unsure about the amount of lift that was required. So I used 10 g. I now know that it was a bit excessive .
However , it did make a very nice mine.

I'm looking forward to see other people's videos.

I suppose most members are to busy to post video clips of there fireworks.Or is it because most members dont make much pyro?...or don't bother filming it ?..

Hey sasman, well you better believe i will be filming my stuff. I have the willow star test to try tonight as i didnt lastnight because was a bit merry after Sunday dinner. Safety first!! I will be working on lots of pyro from now on, i will film as much as i can. Wazi and i will be testing more shells and so long as he TAKES LENS CAP OFF then we will be ok, good job i have my fathers modded webcam rolling too! I will post all my vids, maybe get a section on 'BEST FIREWORKS' on the roll here?
