I never even thought about making my own fireworks but if you are willing to teach me, I think that it would be really cool to learn how to do. Can’t wait till saturday. thanks, mike

Thanks a million.

Really interested in this and if I can get the material I am going to make the grandkidds a display like they never seen before.

Loved those days long ago when we could buy fireworks worth watching, The sky burst types were my favorites. That’s 30 years ago now, to-day they are a poor effort.

Now that I found enlightning. Never really thought about making fireworks but this surely will make things interesting during the 4th and New Year.

wasn’t gonna get the Turbo Pyro at first. Even told Harry this in an angry email about his pop up to get folks to sign up for his email list. Then I exchanged a few emails with the ole Chief Bottle washer and found him to be so nice and helpful that when the email on the Turbo Pyro came, well I figured it would be something special for this beginner.

I love fireworks, I have made a few simple fountains and some black powder so far. I have always wanted to make some of the nicer displays so I may as well get started since I’m not gettin’ any younger.

Your customer, Steven Harris, gave you the highest recommendation, and he is hard to impress.
I may just be an old grandma, but I can’t wait to try some of your recipes, and I have about 15 folks on my list that will love checking this out!

Harry:

I got this link to your site from Steven Harris at Knowledge Publications.

One thing Steve and everyone at Knowledge Publications stresses is SAFETY !!!

Safety before you start – Safety while you are working – Safety after you finish.

I would STRONGLY suggest wearing Safety Glasses and clothing that is Flame Retardant while doing this type of work.

I would STRONGLY suggest working outside on a concrete or dirt area at least 100 feet OR MORE from ANYTHING.. and I MEAN ANYTHING that could have a REMOTE POSSIBILITY OF CATCHING FIRE !!! This means dry grass or shrubs, buildings of any sort, vehicles, trees.. in other words if it could possibly catch on fire then DO NOT BE ANYWHERE NEAR IT.

I would STRONGLY suggest that you have a FIRE EXTINGUISHER and A WATER HOSE immediately at hand in case of an emergency.

I would STRONGLY suggest that you have 1 OR MORE Family Members or Close Friends at a Safe Distance with access to a landline phone or cell phone who has been instructed to call 911 in case anything was to go wrong.

Burning a pot of Grits is one thing that can happen to a cook when they fail to pay Full Attention to what they are doing. It is Totally Different to have a batch of Highly Flammable and EXPLOSIVE ingredients Flash, Burn, and EXPLODE in front of you.

Thank you for your expertise. I am an experienced in Chemistry, Engineering, and Physics by profession and has always been in love with pyrotechnics. My best display for my friend and family (who I do this for) was made from 30 Polyetheylene mortor tube. The majority were 4″ and a few 6″ for the fanalle. I chose to make all of my stars round and invented the rollers to do the labor for me. Once I brought joy to the hearts of myself and family from the flawless display I did not make a lage display such as that again. Infact, I do not even make any mortors again and even though I love making fireworks it is becoming harder to get the chemicals needed to make fireworks anymore. Also, after doing research on what the BATF wants the “Hobbiest” or “Personal User” to have in this buricratic Country, I am in a holding pattern hoping the regs will lossen in the future. I have even considered moving to a State like Texas that stays out of your buisness. I am all for safety but they are taking safty to the point the law abiding citizen is in a straight jacket or, you have to build a $2000.00 bunker to keep 5 lbs of KCLO3. Even if you comply with all of the rules and regs it is harder to get all of the chemical needed at one site now for you stars, busting charges, flash powders (for small shells), fuse, and morter shells and tubes. To still put on a show for your freinds and family you would have to spend your vacation money and then some. Then to add insult to injury if you live in a liberal State you may still have the cops call on you even if you are leagal.
Do you have any advise or news of loostening these opressive regulations? I have tried joining a local club but they require a sponser and they are several hours away and I am not sure what I can get out of it unless it is a leagal form.

Thanks for any advise,

Your flying fish mine project was inexpensive, easy and fast to construct, and most importantly FUN.! Ever since I make Hydrogen gas balloons in the fifth grade I have been hoked on pyrotechnics. One great thing about your projects and the Perigrin book you recommended is that the formulas are tested and “safe”. Even though I took chemistry in college I was not up to speed on certain chemical incompatibilities. Pyrotechnics has been a great hobby and an important part of my life and Skyliter has added so much to it. Thanks for all you do.

This looks like an easy alturnative to the killer bees shells we used in the 80′s! Raised my kids with spectacular new years and 4th of July celebration shows- all from stuff we made. Always safe. There is no comparison to the quality of colors and variety of the craft made fireworks to the expensive foriegn made / store bought stuff. Kids are out of college now, and are forever spoilled by Dads home shows.

Harry, awesome project, and well done. I have been making pyrotechnic devices for quite a long time now, and mainly produce/reproduce items that work with the military 40mm launchers. I use a lot of chemicals from your company, as well as Firefox and other companies. I prefer to deal with yours, as you seem a very nice person and are, like myself, interested in safety first.

I wanted to write a short thank you for all you do in the pyrotechnics community, helping the inexperienced, and providing a place where we can all come to learn.

Thank you, George

Did this but didn’t have any flying fish fuse…
I simply took a tube I had left over from a single shot parachute thing about 3/4 of an inch in diameter and used it as the tube. Then, I took a spare morning glory I had laying around and broke it in half, then dumped the flash powder into the tube and put a 3″ visvo fuse into the side of the tube. just filled the rest of the tube real tightly with standard slow burn visco (cannon fuse).

This was somewhat of a good substitute for the stuff he mentioned but it didnt perform near as well. The top of the sparks did go up about 40 feet however.

Good luck if you tryt his!

I’ve had great luck with SkyLighter. I ordered the TurboPyro kit over a year ago and using their instructions, I was able to build everything in their manual, and they worked.

They have answered every question I’ve called or emailed them with and even helped me work through order problems that were caused by my mistake.

Great company to work with!!!

Ragnarok

FFF mines definitely achieve a “PERFECT 10″ on my personal Bang For the Buck list!! I started making these shortly after FFF was made available to us amateur firework lovers/makers, and once wrote an article on my little repeating FFF mines for the WPA newsletter. I used the 1/2” or 9/16 ID x 1.5” long tubes securely hot-glued to a sturdy piece of wood, with a gram of 3F and 1” lengths of FFF in each, and a length of visco running through the bases of many tubes as there were on the board.

Harry’s project uses 1/2” lengths of FFF, which is >>>VERY WISE<<< because if you make them longer they WILL fly MUCH farther in ALL directions, which MIGHT be fine if you're with a bunch of pyro lovers but may cause severe consternation amongst those not familiar with dodging fiery sparkling mini-rockets, including most of the people you invited to your little backyard show AND the next door neighbors! Keeping them short doesn't take away from their beauty and gives you more mines too along with increased SAFETY.

All that said, the FFF mines are wonderful fireworks and you will be glad you made some!

Stay green,
Ragnarok

Paul Lundell

This was just the kind of project I have been looking for. I am new at this hobby and do not yet possess all of the skills and or equipment to create pyro-efects. This is a great Get-Me-Started project.
The graphics were very good, the step by step very good and most of all there was a strong reference to safety. After all we all want to survive the construction and launching of our projects. Your safety recommendations allow me to believe that if I am careful and follow both the project and safety instructions I will actually be able to safely create and launch controlled fire.
Thanks for the project. Now I need part numbers for order. If you had a project kit that would be even better. I will not always order by kit but just to get started the kit way is a good way.
If you do put together a kit please list the part numbers of each component so I can start a data base and re-order.

Thanks

Thanks Harry!
You don’t get to many things for free, in this day & age, But leave it to Harry to give some hope to the fireworks community and to let people make & have some cheap fun with really cool affects. By far this is the easiest and one of the coolest effects for little money and time. Young and old will like your Flying Fish Mines. Plus you get to say “I made them”.

[Reply]
Cliff Murphy

Dear Harry,
Thank you so much for the truly difficult to obtain and properly prioritised about fireworks and the easy to understand anology about cooking and fireworks as chemistry.
In my mind the most crucial part of firewaorks is to understand what cooking materials you can never mix and how even a small amount of contamination like dust, temperature increase (which permits the air to hold more water) (vapor pressure). You repeat and make #1 on the subject, formost SAFETY FIRST in everything. I learned that a good pair of boots could save feet injuries. I also learned about from your cooking anology the material you need to deal with some chemicals ( mixing crucible and pestel for example) and the materials for other chemicals and the list of NON-COMPATABLE chemicals and the chemical resistance chart and correlating variables with contamination percentages and again ambiant conditions or special care such as friction sensitive and just exactly what that means for some like me who do not know untill after learning with you first. You basically say patience over and over, my interpretation “haste makes waste”.
You have all of your flangies and profundus so after fifteen years and a good amonunt of life experience combined has given me the impression you really do know what you are talking about.
I personally appreciate the information of proper storage of chemicals as building and assuring the three are always in perfect condition with a lock and free from being disturbed by earthquakes or treefalls, flood,ect.
I also like the idea of being precise on measurements by % using weight or moles but, precision even with use of pyrex measuring cups or graduated cylandars,etc.
Pointing us (those newbies who want safety first) their fingers and tendons and all of my body parts, is something that shold be studied prior to purchasing, let alone making anything yourself.
I appreciate your patience and your store very much and mostly I appreciate you are genuinely a person who likes other people.
I really like your store, the knowledge you give away to enthusiastic to learn but not burn. I appreciate all the specialty items you have and sell at a great price. Now if I can only find a job..
Thank you so much Mr Gilliam!
Best Regards, Cliff

This project was part of the Turbo Pyro kit and it’s amazingly spectacular for it’s simplicity. You can make the mines very quickly and reload the tube many times.

I saw some sky lanterns a couple months ago and the man told me that occasionally you have special offers. He told me to subscribe to your newsletter to see when offers were available. So I am subscribing. I am not interested in making my own fireworks.
Thanks
Craig

As simple as it is I still haven’t made a really good one, I go slow and try to figure out what I’m doing wrong I think I got it now after a few fizzle bloopers but I like the anticipation and excitement when I light them I enjoy this. Thanks Lexa

I really like the kits. I have a few ready to test, but having a problem keeping the bundle of fuse together when cutting. I am using a razor blade to cut with and the rocking of the blade causes the bundle to come apart. Have decided to get a craftsman razor anvil cutter. Hope that will cure my problem.
I really appreciate all your information that you have available to us.
