thunderboy Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 here are my stars and coated rice hulls for New Years Eve, I've been busy in november
JFeve81 Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 I commented on youtube as well but must say this. Good job. Wish I had anywhere close to that amount of materials. I hand rolled (ie using human power and a bucket) some C8 onto lead shot up to about 1/4" size. Turned out pretty good and round. Really want to get a proper star roller setup. Would make things easier for the most part. I'm only going to have a few 2.5" round shells, at least one 2.5" canister shell, and at least one 1.75" canister shell. Hope to have a few more made up but only time will tell. Will also have alot of commercial stuff left over from the 4th on top of my homemade stuff.
thunderboy Posted December 9, 2012 Author Posted December 9, 2012 My star roller is nothing fancy, there is a vid on youtube on how to make one mine is close to that one.

Hoppy Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Looks like it will be a nice show...and that you will get a lot of free time over the next few weeks!

californiapyro Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 i think you need some more stars... Nice! You do look a tad short on hulls though, how many lbs is that? I recently used 2.5 lbs for 10 4" shells
AirCowPeacock Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 I wish I was already that far along. I'm hoping to roll the rest of my stars today, which will not be nearly as round or as plentiful as yours are. I'm going to be doing 2 wheels, 6 1.5" double-break cylinders, 3 1.5" starmines, 2 2.25" green ghost mines, and 1 3" cylindrical shell of shells.

thunderboy Posted December 22, 2012 Author Posted December 22, 2012 here are my stars and coated rice hulls for New Years Eve, I've been busy in november UPDATE 4-6" and 39-4" and 43-3" are made and the sixers and the fours are taped ready to go.need to dip e- match and add the lift cups, and finish taping the three's.Had about 1 1/2 pounds out of thirteen hulls left over, and about 1/3 of the stars left over, I think there is enuff to make 20 shells, I'll video all the finished shells before loading in to the tubes.
JFeve81 Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Nice. Don't think I'll be shooting anything for NYE. My area is under a burn ban as of December 10th and we haven't had any rain yet. Can't wait for the vids.
