Greetings :)

Here is a video of some things I've been working on for a while. In particular the last three devices. The rest was largely filler and haunted by stars blown blind ect!

Great work there seymour!! Loved the shell at 1:14, any construction pics? and what fuse did you use for your "ascending separating stars" (Shimizu)

Thanks!

I used standard chinese timefuse for all the timing. I have quite a few construction pics, but I'll have to upload them when I'm on my computer.

Some shells from a recent shoot.

My mines didn't make it on video, but they were quite nice I must say. I think I finally have my glitter figured out. I wasn' 100% satisfied with the shells, but they'll do for now.

6" ball Spider to Red
6" ball TT to Blue
5" sun and planet - Yankie purple planets (the prime burned off most, and didn't light the star), and varigated sun.
4" Serpent with chartreuse stars, and bottom shot
5" 5 timed report with purple and chartreuse and bottom shot. - Flower pot 2sad.gif

Those ball shells were pasted on a WASP, and I wasn't impressed with the symmetry. They seemed lopsided. I don't think they had enough pasting on them. They were quite undersized, but the guy said he makes them that way all the time. I use more pasting, and I feel I get fuller breaks.

Yeah, two pounds of flash really slams oddly enough, which is how much was in that 5" flower pot. I'm just glad they survived the lift. I fired out of steel just in case.

Yes, I'm happy for you too, 2 lb of flash going off in steel tube wouldn't be nice :(

I'd much rather fire from steel with shells like these. I'd never chance a low break (from faulty gun) with any other material. The video may not show it, but the two shells with bottom shots were e-matched and several hundred yards away. With good technique, the bottom shot and all the inserts should survive in a flower pot.

A friend of mine filmed that. I'll try to ask. It might suprise you that it was actually a digital camera, and not a true video camera.

I had a family get together a couple of weeks ago and fired a hanfull of shells and mines ( and a wheel that only 1 spoke lit :( which ended up looking like a high rise fountain ) so i put together a few in this vid. the first 3 shells that go off consecutively are 3" shells with H3 burst and the 4th is a 4" willow diadem with whistle boosted 18# Bp burst.
Its only a short 4 shell vid and i slowed it down a 1/4 speed , i hope this doesnt offend the members, ( i will remove it if it does ) .
90 % of what i've learnt is from ukps and i am getting better, the other 10% is suck it and see experimentation, so a big thank you to all you members here :) .

4 quick shells

The stars that look white are flash core but my cam didn't pich up the nice blue that they were
