While your intentions are good, nothing is stopping this individual from searching elsewhere, and learning from less credible sources. If anything, communities like this are the best place to ask...

Uh, no. He asked a question, and he got well thought out responses. Here are a few realities you may not be aware of:
- A lot more people than you think make flash.
- Many people have safely made...

In other news, the sky is blue. ;)

Strongest and SAFEST flash I know of is 70/30 KClO4/Al. Make sure the Aluminum has the smallest particle size you can find, along with the Perc. Smaller particle size translates to faster reaction....

This took me 8 hours to upload on my line, then I find out I converted it in the wrong format, only having it on 480, when it should be 1080p. Ugh...

Great job GiggleGuyz.

Another thing to add, if you have access to 2 high quality camcorders, perhaps have two angles of it. First one can be the relatively close shot, 20-100ft away. Then have...

If you want to have a wall of effects, 2 cases ($120-130) of 12/1 25 shot thunderkings is more economical than buying 4/1 100s thunderking cases around $80ish each. So it really all depends on the...

Not to change the subject here...but Dave, if you need advice for a good HD camcorder, PM me. While the video quality can be beautiful on some, the sound quality is completely horrendous. There are...

We should link to the places that DO teach it properly. Some people could care less about the law, so we might as well have them do what they want in the best way possible, so it doesn't damage our...

Dave, if you don't want the board to be spammed like this, your software you have installed, vBulletin, allows you to have posts moderated by newer members. So lets say the first 5-10 posts, you can...

How about everyone stops acting like children, and remember why we are all here in the first place....to share our knowledge and love of pyrotechnics.

@ NormanNormal: When I say going crazy, I am talking about the volume of fireworks, not the behavior. :)

There is a lot of large open areas all over the city, so us being packed in one small park...

Bumping this so it gets a little more exposure. Regardless of how you feel of the idea of going, still check out the videos. They are very much worth watching.

Naming current 'good' items should be another rule Dave should add here.

Depends on what country you are in, but yeah US 1.4 rockets suck in comparison to what is available in Europe and Asia. Consumer rockets there with 3-4" headers are relatively common. Salute...

There is no topic to put it in, so I might as well put it here, since PyroU about operates the same way, with misc pyro threads.

Obviously not everyone can afford this, but I think it would be...

My apologies, I am and always will be a student of this hobby. Things have never happened to me, nor people who are in the hobby with me, but there is always that chance something can go wrong. I...

edit- Nevermind.

I see you are in Illinois. Contact ACE, Central States, Melrose, Premier, and any other display companies over here, and see what they say.

Calm down Ralph, this is all hypothetical conversation. I have never done this before, seriously. It was simply an idea I came up with.

What WOULD be cool is if companies sold kits for cakes. ...

It would be nice if Dave made a revision to the rules, saying flash discussion is fine, but perhaps basic questions can be limited to one noob thread? This way, simple things don't clutter up the...

It would be nice, but you gotta take into consideration the bandwidth bills that can be for Dave. What would be more cost effective (and just as good) if people made a Photobucket and Youtube...

I have worked professionally with 1.3 before, I know there are many more factors to that. My point is, is that there are 1.3 cakes with 5/8" and 3/4" tubes that blow away anything 1.4, and it would...

In America, it is fairly obvious we as consumers are restricted to fairly watered down fireworks in 1.4, compared to 1.3. This idea came to me a while ago, but I feel like sharing it here.

What...
