I did my show tonight. I did the entire set-up today and it was brutal. I worked non-stop from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. I bet I consumed at least a couple gallons of water and Powerade today. There was a...

I did my show tonight. I did the entire set-up today and it was brutal. I worked non-stop from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. I bet I consumed at least a couple gallons of water and Powerade today. There was a...
I have everything planned out and everything that I need purchased. I just picked up a bunch of new batteries today. I still haven't fused my racks yet. I have about 228 shells to do. I'll try to do...
I probably wouldn't be doing much of a show this year either if it weren't for having a lot of product on hand from the good old pre-COVID days. I skipped having my July 4th party and shoot in 2020...
That is certainly some positive news. I'll take all of that I can get right now!
Good explanation, Birdman. That is a ton of factors working together to create this nightmare. Hopefully things get somewhat back to normal over the course of the next year or so, though I doubt we...
What is driving the massive shipping cost increases? COVID? Natural disasters? Greed? This is getting nuts. I noticed that AWF has raised prices again on many of their products by anywhere from 5 to...
I love Winda products. I think I've bought the Super Stunt 500 gram cakes every year since first discovering them. I am also really liking their Neon Beef 60 gram cans. They produce a good amount of...
I didn't say they were inferior. I said considering how much less they are priced, it would make you wonder if they were somehow inferior. But having watched numerous videos of some of their NOAB...
I've been noticing how the big NOAB racks from Magnus are somehow staying down in terms of cost whereas most other NOAB brands have doubled in cost over the past year. How are they managing to keep...
Bump Bear is one of the most awesome little good bang for the buck cakes ever produced!
Sounds like it is going to get worse before it starts to get better (if it ever gets any better). Ah well, it is what it is. It appears I am going to get much better acquainted with 200 gram cakes...
I'm in a very rural area. I usually shoot in the hollow (AKA a valley for the city folks) located behind my house. My show is always dubbed with the rather simple name of "Fireworks in the Hollow",...
You know what seems the most weird about the massive price increases? It doesn't seem to be showing up as much with the 200 gram cakes. While they may be a little more expensive than they were a year...
AWF is such an awesome company. They have a great variety of product, reasonable prices, excellent customer service, excellent communications, a huge variety of different shipping options (that are...
Beautiful! Glad to hear the tarps kept everything dry until shoot time. While many people pack their cakes into plastic bags for protection against the elements, I think I will just stick to using...
I managed to squirrel away a case or two of "red cans" about 2 years ago that seem to be quite good in the boom department. I'll have to mix those in with the color effect shells for some added...
And more importantly, what did it consist of? I am really wanting to go big for July 4th 2022. The current fireworks prices and availability could make things difficult, but luckily I already have...
If the excessive prices start hurting fireworks sales, maybe that Mr. Fireworks guy in China who controls so much of the industry will step up and buy or start his own commercial shipping business....
One thing I've noticed over the years with any industry is that dramatic price increases work as long as the end consumer is willing to pay it. If consumers stop buying, then the prices will start...
Well, on the surface it would seem that keeping the supply low while the demand remains high is an excellent way to make sure the prices skyrocket and remain high. China may be a communist nation,...
Well, so far I have managed to locate a source that has quick fuse (.20 second foot) in stock for $14.95 per 20 feet. I bought the limit of 5, so at least now I know I'll have 100 feet to use toward...
I remember having some shells made like that a number of years back. I believe they were called Warlord and sold under the Fisherman label. I really didn't expect them to be as nice as they were, but...
I've not tried these yet but have watched lots of video reviews on the tube of you's and these seem to be really nice shells, equal to or better than pretty much any of the other commonly available...
And if there is simply no way we can even come close to competing with China on the price of fireworks using domestically produced items, could we at least maybe see American companies have their...
Long enough to drain an entire cooler full of Powerade usually. I need to get smart and buy a canopy to put up for shade over the spot where I am working. Maybe even bring out a big fan of some sort....
