Matthew Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Here is a slow motion video of my first mine. It took a long time to make the stars and bp because I only have a mortar and pestle. I made everything including the tube that the stars were fired from. The BP was pretty weak but strong enough to fire the stars. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7zRb14BU3IGb2NkdkhSVXp2VFU Edited June 29, 2017 by Matthew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang, my BP never sired any stars... what am I doing wrong?? Did you use wadding?Oops haha didn't realize that mistake. The black powder raised the stars up from when they were young. Now they are big stars. Edited June 29, 2017 by Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
