lol,didnt you ever make a big "SAXON" before?

 

It was the

"1' fuse total!!
thing that threw me.

Is that one inch, one foot or did you mean just one fuse? Also, why 8 times reversing? Is there a point to that many sections?

Hell, I'm game but I think a four times direction change is even a little challenging for this crew.

ok yeah four times is cool,you have to fuse the whole thing and only light one fuse of any length JUST ONE FUSE,I have as you guessed not a great comunicator,but i do make a mean saxon and I did stay at a holiday inn last night

1 fuse...

 

Are they all not lit with just one fuse? Do you mean quick match, visco or blackmatch? The saxon I like to make have two drivers, one on each end of the stick, one is the BP driver that powers the saxon and the other is the color driver that has all of the special stuff.

 

Is that acceptable?

 

How about a double saxon with them counter rotating?

ok, one fuse lights the whole thing that is qm from one to another,lite a fuse(one) stand back and the whole thing is on its own,want colored drivers cool I use color pots mostly,might throw in my purple driver that makes a hell of alot of color but can CATO ,mine shall be "A" saxon four tubes 8 inches long each tube giving two directions per tube then after one tube goes out it fires up another tube so till all four are burned up.The fire is coming out perpendicular to the axis unlike a driver on a girandola

longer than a knife shorter than a sword were called "SAXONS" a preferrred weapon!

 

so Imagine a tube rammed with bp then holes drilled perpendicular to the horizontal so when lit it spins,one hole is drilled in one direction another on the other end drilled in the other direction so when lit it spins,you can connect more than one tube(bp filled motor) inline making it as long as you wish and when fused porperly when one section or tube burns out then another ignites and so on.

 

ie

 

 

 

heres a reversing saxon only this one is only lit at one end instead of both ends at the same time either is fine I prefer both at the same as you get better looking EYES when it spins hope this helps

I shot two for my kids birthday. I cannot help but to laugh at myself. The headers were both too heavy. One was going to be my entrance for the timed delay. Had 15 reports with bottom shot. If I figure out how to convert the video I will post it. Oh it went off in three seconds just got the timing a little off on the reports. Most went off on the ground :mellow: . Was fun watching everybody run like hell lol.

The other I wanted to shoot out over the lake and did not give it enough angle. Got some more headers but ran out of tubes! Should get some more tubes in next week. I WILL HAVE AN ENTRY! (Thats me yelling at myself)

Hmmm, instead of a report, do a cremora/junk pile. Just as exciting, but without the noise :)

Btw have your tubes come in yet?

Even with the "soft focus" it looked good, the changes in direction couldn`t have been any smoother. Double up on the direction changes, add some colours and its a potential competiton winner ;)
