    I have yet to find "exact" documentation on "how to build" a rack. Although, I have built a fair amount of 3, 4 and 5 inch racks. Yes, hopefully one day someone (including myself) will post some...

    I will stick with some of the other comments about it being too heavy and you don't need the middle board. If you insist on using 2x4 for the side rails, give your back a rest and remove the middle...

    Hahahahaha..."...there is a new hole in the port side...". Yep, that will happen with a firecracker that big.
  4. Updated (not really) Annual List of Explosive Materials

    Just received the following from the BATFE. It even states, in the email, that the list has not changed from 2019:

    The application is absolutely geared towards a business. I think Dave may have mentioned this in a post, video, or on the DVD. Apparently the BATFE has not come to the realization that people who do...

    I got mine through Midwest. I called them up though and sent them an email. They have their number on their site. Due to the current pandemic, they may or may not be open. Although, I got a real "mom...

    I would agree with Dave and go one step further that I definitely don't agree with writing a statement that you will not shoot in IL. If you follow the law, you have the absolute right to shoot in IL...

    Don't sweat it too much. I got a similar response from my BATF person, but in the end, I got my license. Yes, you are supposed to have a DNR license and Office of the Fire Marshal license, or...

    First off, I assume you are not working for a company because they probably would not have you doing this on your own, so kudos to you for taking the initiative. "Intent" is meant to scare you off...

    That does not look like fun. I used to use eye bolts and rebar, but only for tiny setups and 3" max. For anything larger, it all depends, but usually it is using boards/nails to secure racks to each...

    Yeah, I have 3" racks with and without just in case. Usually, I will do salutes out of the ones with spacers if anything. It definitely makes them larger (length) and a bit heavier. I live by the 10...

    Very nice. Same here. I find that buying my own 3" pipe (if you can find a supplier), cutting it and plugging it is much cheaper. As you get into the larger sizes, it becomes a little harder to find...

    Great to see another Chicago-area pyro. I think, being in such a large urban area, it scares some people off of trying to obtain their license. Follow Dave's instructions, go through the steps, and...

    ID of HDPE is not perfect and just as Mattp said not "every shell is perfectly the same size either". You are really looking for 3 things when it comes to sizing of HDPE. The first is assuming that a...

    If you are not sure, I error on the side of caution always. There is no harm in staking or placing sandbags on either side to prevent movement. Best to be safe and have a little extra cleanup rather...

    Be aware, and maybe one of the veterans can chime in on this, but your job box would still have to be inspected and approved by the BATFE. This is the reason why hobbyists will go with contingent...
