pyrokid Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Not too bad for a first shell, and only 1.25" in diameter! Details! Prime, break, spiking?
rogeryermaw Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) thank you! the entire thing was hand made except for fuse. a pretty basic veline formula with some ti for sparks. the lift and break are both yellow pine 3f and the salute was 1.5 gram flash with dark al made in my super ghetto mill. instead of spiking (as space was a concern in such a small shell) i dipped the case in slightly thinned elmers glue, let dry and repeat. i did use about 1.25 inch of visco wrapped in multiple layers of gummed kraft for the break time and 1.5 for the salute.

flinters17 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Any pics of the finished shell? Nice one, by the way.
rogeryermaw Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 no i haven't gotten into that yet. i need a better camera as you can see. phones are great but not so much when you need clear and detailed shots.
