Does anyone smell something burning?

[Calibremon]

*puts his tail out after blowing up stuff*

Well, one and all, I have lived a teenage anarchist's wet dream: I have located my father's stash of firecrackers and other such things that go 'bang'.

But alas, imagine my disappointment when I set them all off. Now I have nothing else to play with...

Or do I? Thanks to the lovely, intelligent people at the PyroGuide, the amateur pyrotechnician's Wiki, I have the knowledge to get the resources to start constructing my own amateur firecrackers.

And before you ask: Yes, what I am doing IS legal, because I am create low-class or 'display' explosives. (i.e. nothing with any major explosive force; just incendiary properties) Laws in Canada seem to pertain specifically to the sale and detonation of fireworks, but not so much on their construction. Go figure. :P

I have just finished testing my touchpaper and I am happy to say that it is burning quite merrily, and will go a long way to helping me test my flashpowder once I get all the materials I need.

Anyone else here experience the joys of pyrotechnics? :P
