Shoot the breeze here.
Here's the items I have:
-Three 2" tall, 1 and 1/4" wide canister shells of silver stars to red and green magnesium stars, a little over lifted
-4 Mines of pseudo D1 (it's based on meal) composition inside thin but solid paper tubes, to green and silver stars. 6" tall, 2" wide mortars. There isn't a bag, it's a basic "sandwich layer" mine makeup with a plug, the ignition fuse at bottom rather than top.
-1 2" wide, 2" tall cylindrical "Aerial Mine" (a mine that goes off at a high altitude, used a shell replacement) of strobe stars (60 mesh magnesium 3, BaNO3 5 sulfur)
1 4" tall, almost 3" wide Aerial Mine as above of silver hummers based on 20 KNO3, 10 Charcoal and 5 Sugar and 1 Aluminum (just slightly dampened and borated, this makes an interesting "putting" effect while the device spins rapidly).
A 4 Driver wheel with 35 Grams of Pine BP, 10 Charcoal, and 5 Spherical Aluminum that lasts about 2 minutes.
About 20 little 10 gram smoke b**bs, Based on a small amount of rather crappy charcoal integrated into a basic smoke mixture and treated with paraffin for pressing.
Three of my first Comet roman candles, about 3/4" wide, and are based on a slightly modified Shimizu firedust, with firefly flakes produced at home (unreliable but they still work. Some burn after about 6 or 7 seconds with the dross but most only take 1 or 2), each with 5 shots and sawdust layers as plugs.
10 fountains, 5 with green flares, 5 with red, each spewing coarse charcoal grains.
3 1 gram aerial salutes with 20-50 mesh AL bits (also at home with screens) based on barium nitrate.
5 "warheads" or self stabilizing rockets, about 3" and 3/4" wide with basic pine BP, ending with a bright flash of light but no bang.
3 mini 1" shells of steel wool bits and granulated black powder.
8 Strobes based on "layers" of bright red and white burning composition between layers of slow burning BP (it's mixed with wheat flour, to the point where it puts itself out if it's not pressed which is actually what I want).
Among of a numeric of various devices.
Your suggestions and ideas are absolutely appreciated and I just might take pictures with the label prizing your name on it
