mormanman Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 From my grandfather. Had some stuff lying around that he was going to throw out (yes there are more stuff) inclusive a part of a label-machine which has some usable bits (the rollers, pulleys, motor...)But actually I'm not sure of the price of the phosphor bronze, but as new it's quite expensive. Guitar strings are made out of phosphor bronze (on ebay anyway and wikipedia.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudidotdk Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 That's high quality, i think.Normally it's nickel galvanized steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asilentbob Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Its been a while, but IIRC the phosphor bronze strings are more directed at acoustic guitars. And im happy because im leaving in 30mins for PGI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pudidotdk Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Yup. Hmm, perhaps your friends didn't get the money because they might have send the signed Terms & Conditions to the wrong e-mail (if they e-mailed it)The e-mail stated on the papers are not the one you should send it to, so it's a bit confusing.

mormanman Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I put some mighty fast pine bp in the tube (the tube was like a thick rocket tube) and wrapped some TT stars in a piece of tissue paper. The fuse was black match if anyone is wondering. They got about 15 feet of air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwezxc12 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have to say...I LOVE the new Ball Mill I made.

crazyboy25 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 im so happy i tested 3 of my reeper silver stars in a star tester using the pyroguide tutorial (they call it a starmine) anyway i was worried the stars would blow blind because i was having trouble lighting them on the ground but 1.5 g of my homemade lift shot three stars fifteen feet and ignited them all perfectly with nice long spark trails im very happy.

jacob Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Wow qwezxc12, i have the EXACT same kind of KN03, where did you get yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudidotdk Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Wow.I met this guy who was also into making pyrotechnics, he's danish.I'm going to a firing (perhaps fire something myself) at a saturday show in Tivoli (amusement park). I can't load mortar though, since I'm underaged.He asked if he could bring me anything, he will e.g. give me a rocket with 5" shell on it and crossette candle, maybe some chems (he got like 1 ton from nitroparis)I really look forward to it, it so nice to meet a non-kewl pyro besides myself in denmark, i didn't knew that would've excisted Also I'm gonna make 100$ on a video I submitted to metacafe, it got 20000 and a score over 3, I own all rights so I will look forward to more video-produced money.

jacob Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Cool, thanks qwezxc, i got mine from southern states coperative, but that only works if you live in a southern state, just call everyone that might have it, and ask for about the same NPK numbers as the ones on qwezxc's bag, the phone book is your friend.

bmarley5780 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I scored a free 3" ID, 1/2" wall, 48" long spiral paper tube for free. It would be ok to used this as a mortar tube, even tho its not parallel. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
