Dag,

 

how do you cut the pipe? I stumbled up on some 12" sched 80 and have no idea at this time how I am going to cut it. Sent OG a message but have not heard from him yet. My piece is approx 5' long, belled at one end and probably weighs 50+lbs. My 6" pipe will fit in my chop saw but this stuff wont even fit in my band saw. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Bow saw... Nor being a smart A** but I think even a chain saw is a great way to chop it and then a spin on a wood lathe would give you and edge to cut down smooth.

 

OG bought a hydraulic guillotine to cut his 2huh.gif

Now if I can just remember where I put the bow saw :unsure:

 

I had thought of the chainsaw already but was afraid of the jaggedness of the edge. Had not thought of putting a piece on the lathe. Thats going to be really entertaing getting that big honking thing to spin.

 

Should be able to get some work on that done in a couple of weeks. I really look forward to charging big bertha for the first time. I will have enough bp to last for months!

maybe he was using "metric" seconds :glare:

 

How closely are we going to be graded on the 3 second thing? Is that the real goal? I think I can accomplish that (be competitive) easier than I can with awesome, beautiful, great breaking, vividly colorful headers that I have already seen. Do not misunderstand, I am still entering!

na just guess for the 3 seconds,we can count just didnt want any 5 o 6 second breaks,that might be end burners,lol it will be hard for me to get 3 seconds than i think alot of you guys since my rockets are slow and easy lifting for me 4 secs. is perfect for apogee breaks,the main thrust of this contest is for me,to learn from everyone else and pick up a trick or two to help me over the hump so to speak, All

if i may be so bold,I challenge anyone who makes bp rockets of any size to make three can shells; one with reports,one with stars and one with inserts of choice and put them ontop their rocket.They must break at 3 seconds from leaving the tube to break.Judges be the forum!

(shells must break at 3 seconds from ignition)

 

: this is what i mean by tree second delay testing new batch of bp

 

 

UPDATEUPDATE: since no one is in need of ball mill jars the new GRAND prize will be: FAMEand knowing you gave it your all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
