India Firecracker Strip making video

[FinnAmerican]

This video shows the step-by-step process in making a single strip of 100 firecrackers. Absolutely, no machinery used. All by hand.

Good video, thanks for the share.

Thanks for sharing! Those guys cutting the tubes made me nervous. I was amazed they all still had their left thumbs?

They did not show them crimping the tubes or filling them in that clip----however, if you look down in the comments section they listed a link to a full video showing the entire process. Boy, talk about labor intensive!!!
That clip gives new meaning to "being up to your elbows in firecrackers"! LOL.

Workers not yet displaced by machines as in China.

There was a video on Youtube showing a guy in an Indian fx plant, sitting cross-legged, mixing flash with his bare hands on a concrete floor, no respirator. A HUGE pile of mixed powder is right in front of him. He's covered head to foot in powder......it gives me the heebie-jeebies to watch.
