I just found out today that I have a friend that has started a display company just a half hour from me! Contingency is now an option in NE OR and SE WA.



Dave, this might just be the reason...

Safety has two components, risk of a failure the consequences of one. If you are able to mitigate at least one of these then you are ok.

Distance is your friend. Assume the worst will happen and...

Thanks, I appreciate the care in preparing the image.

You kind of almost nailed it here. It is about money. I do have access to funds, but the expenditure has to be justified by potential for...

I am pursuing a type 20 mainly because I watched that video and want to work with some experimental compositions. It seems to me like most of the outdoor magazines end up starting around $4k...

Shipping containers in my area have gone up $1000 in the last year...

Someone did some sleuthing... For a minute, I was trying to figure out how you found it yourself on google earth. Then I remembered you have the shipping address. Yes, that is the place. Those...

I will make a more detailed map for the ATF, and can PM it to you if you like. I removed the road names to post here. The final version will have more annotations once I have the final magazine...

The question on type of composition is basically what type of binder/solvent combination will be able to dry quick enough. Cut stars for sure. I don't need super good stars/colors for this, but I...

Ok, here is the one question... Where can I find more info on getting licensed when I can't get contingency storage?

Background

Start rant:
Since I first registered on here, you seem to...

I need to test some 6" shell ideas. What type of composition and construction should I use? Fallout isn't an issue, as I have plenty of space that isn't prone to fire. I need to be able to do...

I asked some of this in a email over a week ago, but haven't received a response so lets see if someone on the forum can help.


On the magazine part of the form, it asks for the distance to the...

What type of magazine are you looking in to? Those numbers sound more like a type 1 or 2 high explosive magazine that needs to be bullet resistant. Assuming the state isn't trying to reclassify...

Is the state prevented from regulating sales of fireworks somehow legally? This bill makes violation of it's provisions a felony, which could make continuing to have an ATF license problematic if...

Under that law does a type 54 license fall under the definition of "Professional Pyrotechnicians” licensed by the PA Dept. of Agriculture"? I would hope so, but laws and regulations don't always...

Do you know if there is a reference for that interpretation?

To me, it looks like having a magazine closer then the table of distances to a dwelling is subject to approval of a variance.

ATF Ruling 2002-4

Apparently you can also have one actually inside...

I am trying to compare building a type 2 indoor magazine vs buying one. I don't have all the tools to do it properly, so buying could be a good option. Could we have a list of all the pyrotalk...

That link is dead. Can we have a new link if this company is still selling magazines?

So is the consensus that the indoor under 50lb magazines aren't subject to the table of distances? I have an outbuilding with a small basement/cellar that I would like to put mine in, but it is only...

Some people's backyards are bigger then others... Also, 1.3 isn't always bigger. There are smaller 1.3 fireworks for proximity stuff, and other smaller 1.3 shells that mirror 1.4 stuff with just...

From a safety standpoint, the softer steels will be less likely to cause shrapnel during a failure. Cooling steel down fast hardens it and moves the failure strength higher, but also causes it to be...

Lower clearance on the tube means less blow by, higher pressure in the tube and more stress to the shell. Assuming the tube can take the pressure and the shell is sturdy enough, you should get more...

Ops, sorry for the double post. Where is the delete or edit function on here?

The guys on Pyros also used some steel pipes for their big guns. There was an episode where they showed large a steel one that unzipped. I thought I saw some HDPE on there also, but not sure.
