Depending on your definition this may or may not be considered a 'firework', but it certainly provides similarly spectacular results.

Fortunately,...

Correct, you first make them separate. You cannot mill whistle, but you must mill black powder. Therefore you would mill your black powder, then combine it with the whistle.

The black powder you're using must be terrible. It should take an absolute max of 35g to lift a 380g shell. Mill the BP longer, use a better charcoal, granulate it. You are using a scale to measure...

Like these?

Square (cube) shells do exist, or rather, they have existed. I do not know of any that have ever been produced commercially, but they have been made before by builders. They are fired from square...

At best what you're describing might be called a lousy star roller, not even close to a ball mill.

Torpedoes and the compositions used to make them are inherently extremely dangerous. Since there are currently no forum rules preventing the discussion of this topic I will leave it for now, but if...

Sensitizer is a misleading label to give sulfur in many circumstances, whereas modifier is always accurate to whatever its function may be. In nitrate based compositions for example, If you were to...

Here is some need to know information for those wanting to build fireworks about the basics of pyro chemistry:

Here is a video to help get people started with traditional shell building methods, and give an option for timing shells where time fuse or visco is not available:

You're probably going to want a non metallic fueled comp then. Here a few comps cut from cannonfuses' database:

The most important thing to do when filming fireworks is to use manual focus. Unless you are very close to ground zero and the device being fired will only go a few feet into the air the focus should...

This is a person that is requesting simple star compositions, and you suggest a comp containing chlorate? That is either a severe lapse in judgment or an intentional motive to cause harm.

Very true, it also adds up to 105 parts. You may want to recheck your source CP.

Here's another color system that I like much better than Veline. It was designed only in the past year or two by a fellow pyro out of Germany I believe:
