WonderBoy Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 As was mentioned in an older thread, I, along with Psyco and Mum have been working on "ballmill-less" shells. I have also been working on rinfasciature multibreaks. For last weekend's shoot I made a 3" two break with timed reports, a 4" Snail (bebbux) with pasted inserts, a 5" Sun and Planets with rinfasciatured inserts, and two 4" lamps. Unfortunately, I shot the 3" too early in the day, so it is difficult to see the reports in the video, many open between frames, but you can hear them. The first break had one simultaneous ring of reports. The second break had two, followed by a bottom shot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBvFIkYrCUs The 5" Sun and Planets had two timings in the 1st break, blue then red, but most of the red blew blind. All of the inserts were made using the "rin" method, not a drop of glue. Second break was a silver cross with red (the red blew blind), followed by a bottom shot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LOY8owAwmo The 4" Snail shell had blue inserts, followed by a bottom shot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCPm0YpyISU And a 4" lampare, 24oz of fuel. youtu.be/mOXNF07WNFg Comments and critique are welcome.

ExplosiveCoek Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Nice shell's! Any construction details would be welcome, especially on how to fuse the multibreaks. I've seen a lot of people blowing their second or third break blind.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExplosiveCoek Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Nice shell's too. Needles to say that your lift needs some work . For you the same question, how did you fuse the second break/bottom shot? Some pict's of the building process would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying fish Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Those snail shell inserts must be small to fit in a 4" shell but they look impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredhappy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Well done guys, I like the snail shell best too. I have a question: did you use unmilled lift too? it looks like you all had a blast, very nice. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.. best fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningRNX Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Nice work.I like the effort on the glueless, ballmil-less part, makes it defiant to get right.Those snail inserts, how did you fuse them? spolette or timefuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderBoy Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys. The snail was the favorite of my shells too. Psyco had some nice shells, with a very nice 6" multi. I cheated a bit for the lift, used 116 fuse powder. We have tests planned for unmilled powder as lift, but haven't had a chance to do it yet. The inserts in the snail were made traditionally: rolled casing, spiked, pasted in, and time fuse as the delay. I use the "top hat" method, where blackmatch is folded over the end of the fuse, for priming. There was 2 rows of 7 inserts, they were timed to ignite in pairs. These are some of the, primed, rinfasciatured inserts for the sun and planets shell. The 3" shell used crossmatched timefuse, because of space issues, and the 4 and 5" shells used spolettes. For the spolettes, I scratch the end, then fold and tie 5 pieces of blackmatch over the end, with match sticking up into the shell. Here is a rinfasciatured bottom shot from a different shell: The shells were all rinfasciatured, which would probably require a thread of it's own to explain.

burningRNX Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Thanks, I already suspected this type of priming, but I wanted to be sure, verry crispy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
