this is probably one of they few really good homemade fireworks displays that i really look forward to seeing every year. keep up the good work.

[@TheJumpmanX3]

Those rockets have balls

[@CantFadeThis13]

Kek

[@TheOftlerer]

Very Nice^^

[@duskyfuse2866]

I’m impressed! The ti-salutes were on another level. Subscribed!

[@xChadly]

Very successful bonfire man, Havent been watching firework videos for a long time, and yours was the first one i watched, and man, almost brought a tear to my eye all the memories it brought back. Great rockets mate, Keep them coming!

[@robertschmits4304]

Those homemade rockets were sick!!! I'd love to learn how to make those. Great show👍

[@Landslide2024]

That last rocket was awesome!

[@AutisticPyro]

3:30 Amazing rocket! Great job!

[@murdoch2486]

@AirrowRocket Over 2 months of work done in 5 minutes! quite depressing when you actually sit down and think about it! but to me and the rest of amateur pyro's like yourself its worth every minute of prep! Yeah thats what i was going for this year, choreographed rockets instead of just a load of single ignitions! but i think it payed off! i was pleased with the results! thanks again for the support buddy

[@murdoch2486]

@lamboroghini brilliant! thanks for your kind words, its nice to have your support! all the best for the new year mate :)

[@HiddenPyro]

Honestly that ending, can't stop watching it

[@Chemdxstr]

Some number of handmade rockets! Must have took you many hours. Fantastic. Liked how you gave specifications. Going to print specifications as PDF so I can maybe make some next year. :)

[@gandelff999]

excellant mate, just home from firing in bonnie scotland and your display made me smile,well done,great to see some new colours in them payloads and the classic murdoch big bang finish,catch ya on the forum later, i will upload a vid of me on the fire line from that angle when i get chance,well done again matey

[@murdoch2486]

@pooptube111 thanks a lot mate, haha, thats the thing with us amateur pyro's we dont have to follow any regulations on how much powder we are allowed to use! the phrase sky is the limit comes to mind! thanks for the support, and good to hear from you! its been a while since we last spoke! :) hope you are well

[@murdoch2486]

@flickerbird thanks mate, was great fun....was gutted the night had to come to an end! yeah BoC rock! cheers for the support :)

[@murdoch2486]

@Pyroworkshop haha, no animals.......or humans were harmed in the making of this film! cheers mate glad you enjoyed it!

[@murdoch2486]

@PyroCreationZ haha, yup theres 2 up for sale now! so take your pick (i think im scaring them away with the crazy fireworks to be honest!) its so nice to see all this support! its a nice place to be here on youtube pyro community! all of you are really great guys! awesome, let the testing commence! :) best advice i can give is not to rush getting headers on your rockets, theres plenty of time for that! just concentrate on getting your motors nailed! the rest will follow! :) good luck!

[@BassheadCurry]

very nice rockets man! i love the workshop picture at the end it teminds me of myself, because i have my workshop like that too.

[@magistic345]

Wow those rockets where amazing, that last one sounded like a bomb!

[@pslink6437]

That last rocket was the best one.

[@zodiotekgaming]

Now I NEED to start making my own fireworks some day... I have so many ideas that are really itching to be done

[@edn6671]

Same here!

[@jamesluck2969]

PrivatePyle 762, have not happened to many I've known yet

[@YannisManesis]

Where can you purchase the ingredients needed tho..

[@1984Adamr]

A lot of the chemicals that were once easy to get for experimentation are now restricted due to events such as Manchester arena. The hobby of homemade pyro is now in the past because of such events. The restrictions have made it harder for chemicals to get into the wrong hands but also spoilt it for innocent hobbyists.

[@murdoch2486]

@allrocketspsl cheers GB, i was behnd the camera as they were going up thinking.... i cant wait to show the guys! :) really glad you liked them buddy

[@METAL1ON]

Great work there really liked those.

[@sneaks01]

Just wonderful man!! Wonderful!!

[@dainbramaged1]

wow, that was a really nice show! awesome rockets you made there.. those put any commercial rocket to shame

[@murdoch2486]

@xChadly thanks a lot for your kind words mate :) great to have you back! thanks again, there will be many to come! have a great week

[@colspyro]

Hi Ed Sterling work there mate. Your amazing display reflects the amount of work you put in. Theres no other way to describe it than ..absolutely bloody marvellous! :)

[@PyroPowerItaly]

Very nice homemade rocket !.!

[@joshuasdsmalls2157]

Nice work!!. Cool rockets

[@0123legoman3210]

so cool. Loved the 100g salute

[@charlievega7597]

How do u make the 3:30 one

[@murdoch2486]

@MrJBTEK cheers pal! yeah the 2nd wave was my favorite as well! i was a bit worried about that one, as the wind was fairly active, and i thought it might ruin the tailed effect, but it looked alright! haha, yeah the 100g, was ridiculously loud! which is what we like! :)

[@jayknight139]

This was borderline magic to me how did you figure out how to do this?

[@murdoch2486]

@TheMultiPyromane thats awesome of you to say mate! thanks a lot! really glad you enjoyed them! :)

[@murdoch2486]

@colspyro Hey Colin! cheers matey. Yeah was pleased with this one! and like you say you know when youve put the hours in! was gutted there wasnt more, after the last barrage! thanks again buddy :)

[@pyromaniackid1]

Amazing! Simply amazing! But of course all of your rockets are, good job mate!

[@junior420909]

LAST ONE WAS SICK

[@woodyamsterdam]

Brilliant craftsmanship!

[@PyrotechnicsNL]

Awsome Rockets there mate seriously enjoyed those^^ Keep up the good work :D thumbs up!

[@ChristopherPayneMUA]

Do the irregular shapes affect the aerodynamics at all?

[@Johan1o7]

Yes the mess with dimension/Divergion of the gravitational pull of the rocket

[@mattseymour8637]

Nice display! Some great fireworks, homemade too

[@PyR0Star]

@murdoch2486 thats awesome, ya know after I saw your shed, I built a wind cubicle of my own. I have to deal with high winds, I'll post it since you inspired it.

[@johannes0100]

Sell that awesome rockets get rich you are a legend a god of fireworks

[@Berryice1]

INCREDIBLE!! I really liked the triple break rockets (:

[@pyromaniac4073]

Badass rockets! Great job.

[@LY5AT]

Amazing fireworks ! Also thats a nice firework shed you have there, im jelly :D

[@1995marines]

those look like some bad ass rockets!!

[@JonesSmyth]

Fantastic mate well done

[@flickerbird]

dude, that was just badass... also nice music thumbs up

[@murdoch2486]

@PyR0Star brilliant! glad to hear it! its awesome to have your own space you can muck about in......that and the fact that if something goes wrong, its only the shed that gets destroyed and not the house! :P looking forward to seeing your setup!

[@murdoch2486]

@GoldenGarms Yeah, i thought it would have to cancelled, but the rain dyed down about 8 oclock here, but the wind was still abit hostile?! didnt seem to matter though?! ace, on my way now! cheers mate

[@hartyanyipeter6005]

THIS IS VERY GOOD MATE WELL DONE !!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING FIREWORKS!!

[@pyro-t]

nice selfmade firework👌

[@dimmdimm8760]

Bravo, Master!!! ☺️👍👍👍🤝

[@ManwaMasterPlan]

Wow that was amazing. Very nice job!!

[@nobeltnium]

disgustingly brilliant

[@pyrodoll2422]

Absolutely incredible!

[@murdoch2486]

@99xtremeturbo thanks a lot mate! :) a bit more differant to what youd find in a typical rocket display! glad you enjoyed the show! hope you have a great 2011

[@J1mjam2112]

WOOOOOOO...again...SOOOOOO sad i couldnt come home to watch this mate..:( youtube is the next best thing i suppose. it looked amazing! well done. oh and loving the photo at the end :P you look like the crazy guy you are :P

[@0123legoman3210]

@murdoch2486 Quickmatch leader for shells, is it quick enough to hit a spollete or timefuse, then run down the side and hit the lift cup? Or do i need to ad another 1/16th or 1/8th of an inch to compensate?

[@1995marines]

On the first rocket you show what are the small devices not the big red and brown shell, but the small firecracker like shells. What effect do they give out?

[@murdoch2486]

@1995marines yeah, its my own design of device ignition, i call them outserts! as apposed to inserts, that are collectively located in a larger shell. yes, everything you see here is homemade, apart from the little whistle rocket barrage, they are commercial rockets, but i quick fused a few packs together to make them more interesting! :P glad youre enjoying the vids

[@PeterMackett]

What some fantastic rockets,i love titanium salutes,why did they have to ban them?,that last one was awesome!

[@murdoch2486]

@pooptube111 exactly! :) thats what its all about! to be fair you are actually the person that inspired me to venture into the rocket making buisness! after seeing your multibreaks! Good glad to hear it, and cheers, all good here! yeah season starting, so expecting some great things to come from you :) good luck with everything, and look forward to the vids! take it easy

[@murdoch2486]

@sneaks01 cheers mate, glad you enjoyed the show!

[@Bart_Depestele]

Nice work amigo !

[@murdoch2486]

@captainuk001 cheers cap'n! yeah these 4" motors of mine are pretty relaible, havent had a single CATO under this current config, so its looking good! but im moving onto the 7" motors next! :) Yeah these tubes are awesome, a company called Stell made them for me, they are an awesome manufacturer, you give them what ever specs you want and they knock them up for you! :) thanks again

[@himalayanyogabygaurav]

Listen the sound of that last one it was awesome

[@murdoch2486]

@GiggleGuyz haha, i doubt them everytime i sit down and knock one up....im like 'ive gone too far this time!' I guess i could be lifting so much more if i was a little more considerate on the design! cheers for your input mate :)

[@murdoch2486]

@propyropower yeah, was really pleased with the colours, a user call colspyro gave me the comps. I'll dig them out and send them to you, can you remind me as im going out now! as i'll forget otherwise! rubbush memory!

[@truth2972]

What (composition) was that last one? That was awesome.

[@joshuafigone8064]

That was really cool

[@whende2]

That last one was epic

[@murdoch2486]

@VpR81 cheers buddy :) yeah, all homemade! really? i dont think its that sever here, but i suppose it would still be frowned upon? haha, yeah new years is when us amateur pyro's really get the ball rolling! :) glad you enjoyed it!

[@majestic_hippoz180]

well done bro that was cool af

[@murdoch2486]

@skyisthelimitinc haha, just over 2 months work, but that allowed me to take my time, chipping away at it slowly, rather than rushing in the last week, like i a,ways end up doing! o god no! you are right, ill just stick to the amateur side of things, i think it would ruin it if i saw what really went on in teh factories! :) thanks again for the support mate

[@captainuk001]

What a great show!! you sure have the rockets sussed...where did you get those tubes? they look a nice thick wall...well done mate

[@murdoch2486]

@petermackett37 thanks a lot mate! yeah, Ti salutes rock! Im not sure? doesnt really matter to me, as i make my own! :) cheers for the support matey

[@kristjanhrafnagustsson8497]

Damn all of that rockets was sick man :D

[@murdoch2486]

@propyropower thanks buddy, yeah i through in a bit of colour this time! to break up the TT/Ti and other usual stars i use! :)

[@tukkervalencia]

very good rockets keep going on!

[@murdoch2486]

@VpR81 I see. it all sounds very thorough. Does this heightened security make a differance in terms of getting illegal substances into the country? I mean, whats gun crime like in Germany?

[@xBangergoosEx]

Respect, my friend.

[@0123legoman3210]

@murdoch2486 cool, I've been trying to find an american site which will ship to the UK, the fuse prices here in England are so high! you would think that there were dangerous or something! :P Do you think it would be quick enough to use as a pass fire? At the moment I am trying to pick from either this fuse or home-made quick match made with brought black match. Which do you think is best?

[@murdoch2486]

@0123legoman3210 its not fast enough if you are relying on it to ignite your shell delay, as well as igniting the lift charge. youll be better with actual quickmatch, using kraft pipe and blackmatch

[@FoxFleet]

Very nice displays.

[@murdoch2486]

@VpR81 There are airport police and some resoanble force at customs, but no its mainly just the regular police. Thats right because we are an island, its quite hard to get stuff in?! haha, no worries, its cool to chat with someone from outside the UK!

[@1995marines]

@murdoch2486 its cool because never in my life have i seen the shell attached to the side of the rocket motor with other small shells i find that very interesting, those are home made?

[@pyr0ph1L]

We miss you Ed! :)

[@aniketverma1837]

Last one was awesome.

[@PaulSJeffries]

Last rock was amazing! what do you put in your flash mixture fling fish?

[@14Flolo]

3:40! BOOOOOOOOOM!!! was that flash powder?

[@murdoch2486]

@VpR81 Yes the French are pretty poor of safety specs! my younger brother came back to the UK with a bag full of Firecrackerson the Eurostar he bought in a corner shop! he was 13 at the time! haha yeah, ive still got all my didgits, and intend on keeping it that way! :P

[@murdoch2486]

@skyisthelimitinc haha, cheers mate! great news! thanks alot for the consideration :) haha, im sure it wont! thats something you can have, i'll never top your stingers! looking forward to it!

[@MrJBTEK]

wow!! this is a great job!!! loved the second & the 6th wawe!! pretty stars mate:) & big up for the 100g......:-D

[@Q2SEEDSMAN]

where on earth do you get your materials,or more specificity where in the uk? Excellent show,five star.

[@joshuafigone8064]

How many grams titanium and flash in the last big salute? Is that a balloon its in?

[@dainbramaged1]

@murdoch2486 yeah thats one of the advantages apart from the fun it brings youre welcome! i really admire that unique construction of your rockets.. thats what i call "thinking out of the casing" :D very nice colors and effects too thank you, im fine. hope you too. i didnt do much over the summer this year, was too busy with other things.. but now the season has started again and i have lots of plans :)

[@murdoch2486]

@Berryice1 thanks mate, yeah, personally my favs were the 2nd wave rockets. The triple break TT, so youve got good taste my freind! :)

[@uarbor70]

Those might be the coolest rockets I've ever seen. That delay composition is gorgeous how many parts titanium is in that delay mix?

[@vuurvent]

Nice. Is it legal to light fireworks in UK during bonfire night?
