DIY Beautiful Firework Cake! [SIMPLE & EFFECTIVE] + Extra tips

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

Hey there pyros, just gotta say that my intended effect is "Horse tail" (what was mentioned throughout the video), so no flesh for the burst charge. Small cracks when these shells broke were just perfect and pleasing. Thanks for commenting tho ;) P. S. Also, stars could've performed better I agree!

[@alenposedel4756]

Can you make a video about prime mixture

[@paultony2039]

Can you make a video about crossette stars in different calibers? 10mm 15 20 etc

[@PYRO_CREATIONS]

Try making that diy visco fuse again but try soaking the tissue paper on water with potassium nitrate 😉

[@PYRO_CREATIONS]

Oh...Wait.! Just don't forget to dry it 😂😂😂

[@ramonlaikre4109]

Where do you get the stars?

[@guedos]

Liked before even watched LOL looks great

[@EindhovenVuurwerk]

This was insane. Not the best effects but the result and tempo was perfect! Waiting for an 36sh 3” cake my friend :D

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

Thanks man, haha that would be "lovely" XD

Hey eindhoven vuurwerk

[@pacoomerta6429]

Vind jou videos mooier om te zien al hedde zelf niks gemaakt😅

[@Der_Kleine_Mann]

Very nice👍 I think in times of fireworks sales bans, or even possible fireworks bans, it's a good idea that people learn how to make their own fireworks🧨🎆💪

[@Palmit_]

i really do like seeing the process you go through... and then to see the actual results when fired. you must be very pleased with yourself. Thank you bro.

[@Michael-rg7mx]

Thanks for showing your process. It saves me lots of trial and error. Great show!

[@KClO3]

This video taught me the best homemade fuse, blackmatch and paper

[@Telectronics]

Lovely effects glitter and crackling are one of my favorites ! All your work has been proven to be perfect mate !

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@I_Like_CATOs]

i havent ever seen this horse tail effect in such small shells, the effect turned out great. well done!

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

Yeah, pretty snappy for such small "inserts" :)

[@oskarskorzeny9234]

Nice man! I like the recycled mortar tubes.

[@Langonica]

Kudos! Sweet, simple build!

[@Aceofspaceotto]

Bros tutorial looks like an secret mission. Btw u made it good

[@FireworkTutorials]

Very nicely done! I make cakes using a similar method, but I use visco fuse instead of blackmatch. I think your stars were not igniting, or were not great in the first place though. I also recommend using flashpowder instead of blackpowder to burst such small shells.

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

If you watch thru the whole video, there is a part where I say I'm looking to get "Horse tail" effect so blasting these shells was not even a plan. Yes, some of the stars were blown "blind", I'm gonna say the effect was 95% of my intention. Aldo I respect your point of view.

[@FireworkTutorials]

@@MakeAndDestroyFireworks Oh My bad, yes I should have watched the whole video! Thanks for explaining!

[@hobbyfirework2741]

But flash powder is for 1.3G and Bp is for 1.4G a huge difference

[@FireworkTutorials]

@@hobbyfirework2741 That is nonsense. Please don't spread ignorance. 1.4g just means consumer level fireworks. 1.3g are professional grade fireworks. 1.4g fireworks can have flash powder in them, granted they contain a small amount.

[@hobbyfirework2741]

@@FireworkTutorials thing that i know is 1.4G is for comercial firework and 1.3G is for professional. So we're :)

WOW. So nice. Congratulations for 22K subscribers. This channel keeps growing.

[@SkylerOne]

So nice and interesting video👍 love the sound and music to in vid. Keep up

[@Mr.firebomb]

Looks really nice, but i think you should add some more powder to the breaks. The lift is louder than the break. Or use flash Instaid of bp for the breaks.

[@goodmaro]

I used to draw around the tubes to make the cutouts for the end discs too, but now I use a shortcut: an ink stamp pad.

[@FireworkTutorials]

Or better yet a hole punch set ;)

[@goodmaro]

@@FireworkTutorials I tried a circle cutter. Not so good.

[@k.959]

Wood glue and recycled paper. YES

[@bdlbdle2302]

Why don't you put a little bit flash in them so they burst

[@yoelcoli412]

Very good video, informative and especially illustrative. Thank you

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

[@goodmaro]

I was lucky enough to have Creeper (I forgot his real name) send me a box of 5/8" ID thick walled thread cores that he used for cakes. I plug the bottoms with glued dowels and glue a line of the tubes onto a plywood base, attaching additional rows with masking tape and rubber bands. (It's too hard to reuse them with bottom/side fusing if they're ALL glued to the base.) Lately I've resorted to a trick to get a few more shots in than there are tubes for, which is to turn one or two of the tubes of the cake into Roman candles rather than mortars; it's also easier to find the starting fuse if it sticks out the top of a candle case rather than being on the bottom. So the performance starts with candle stars -- which could be mini-comets instead -- then proceeds via the bottom lift charge to the rest.

[@ChiraqVet]

I started one similar but ran out of fuse. So its still sitting in a box on my shelf. I was gonna make large salutes using flash comp. Still undecided if i wanna use bp or flash or a mix of both, but im going for a loud bang. Ill get off my lazy ass one day an make some more fuse. I would like to see your method on rolling stars tho.

[@joshenns2957]

What's the risk? Them tipping over or some sort of chemical incompatibility?

[@ramieltamayo9051]

Hey idol make n destroy ,i have 1 question and im thank full to ur answer im from phillipines , my question is what is the ratio of black powder you put in that match cotton yarn? Because the time fuse is good for timing not very fast even when it gets wrapped with tisue,have you put any lampback ?

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

Regular 75 15 10 BP + ~3% dextrin, nothing more. Make sure you dry it well.

hey, try to buy some mg rods from ebay, then you could make som pretty good (and cheap) flash powder, 60 % kno3 40 % mg :) then the breaks maybe would be a little louder

[@shook8305]

How are you supposed to pulverize the mg? If you’re talking about filing it down and ballmilling it which is basically the only way to get it fine enough, then that’s a terrible idea

This is kind of dangerous thought to use used tubes from an old cake because if the debris stay inside of the tube after the first use it can explode the shell and ruin your day, you must mention that in the video! Anyway good job thumps up!!!👍👍

[@Bryak.]

If you want to make nitrocellulose llaquer for fuse you can make it by cutting into pieces a ping pong ball and leaving it in acetone will form after a while it will form a thick white liquid, You pass the fuse through the liquid, you let it dry and it would be waterproof and it makes it a slower ignition I leave you the video I saw. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZmQhJWcaJp-mLM

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

Yeah, I know for that option. I used to make fishing lures and dip them in ping pong + paint thinner so it's familiar to me and could be used here since celuloid burns quite well.

[@Bryak.]

@@MakeAndDestroyFireworks Do what you think best greetings!
