[QUOTE="pycoed, post: 6857803, member: 744"] You must be a lot younger than me! (70) :D When I was a lad we were ALWAYS making bombs & fuses to ensure that bangers has a longer "getaway" time once you lit the paper! in 1961, Shooting Times had an article describing how to dig flight ponds quickly by using ANFO - gave all the correct proportions & suggested you asked your local quarry or mine for a few detonators to commence affairs. We used to "obtain" detonators from sheds alongside the railway lines after our home supplies were exhausted - our coalhouse had half dozen detonators "saved" from grandad's mine & most of my mates had similar resources available. I have a close friend who built a rocket with sugar-based propellent stuffed into a scaffold pipe. They launched it from a tip near home & it went so high that it disappeared! :eek:sh!t scared they all ran home & laid low, but thankfully no homes or people were harmed. Shades of "My rockets go up, but where they come down, is not my concern said Werner von Braun":) [/QUOTE]
