i Am currently in the market for a star roller and h-press.

I have tried to make both of each but have run into serious problems in both finding materials and contrustion. So i though i would look into buy one straight out, i have only found one place that sells them but they are both very expensive @ http://www.hobbyfire...m/maintext.html

any other places guys?

Well, I've not seen star rollers for sale other than Hobby Fireworks, but H-presses can be found at a variety of industrial hardware and automotive shop equipment resellers. Harbor Freight carries several models, but shipping on something that heavy will eat your budget up just as bad as Hobby Fireworks prices.

I've been looking for a while, as well, and have not found a 'cheap' one yet....sorry


You may just have to stick to 'cut' stars for now.

That's a lovely roller. It's prob quite cheap considering it's in China.

Bet the shipping stings though!
