Fireworks Factory Tour in Malta

[@PyroRus]

That is an incredible experience! Malta is on the bucket list for many pyros.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

It really was! I have been fortunate enough to cross off several bucket list countries so far. Many more to go!

[@ciphercraft6176]

Malta is where it's at. Ring salutes all day!

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Seriously! Some of the coolest effects. Thanks for stopping by, I look forward to seeing some new videos from you

[@kerzwhile]

Absolutely amazing! This is the ONE place on this planet I must visit before I die! Thanks for posting this incredible, magical place! 😊

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I highly recommend it! I would love to go back and target some of these villages' feasts, but I was there during the International Fireworks Festival and highly recommend going during that time. The weather perfect for fireworks!

[@fireworksmauritius7062]

Love their expertise, craftmanship and doing it with their own hands with materials sourced locally. It's also a question of tradition, related to their identity. I am from the island of Mauritius where we let off Fireworks for every New Year, but no local factories, just importers.

[@wiley6317]

Thank you Joel! I love this style of video. Malta is a great vacation, enjoy!

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I was there for work, but I had a fantastic time regardless! I'll have some more footage from the trip edited in the coming weeks.

[@jam7504]

That was great thanks for the tour of the fireworks factory the statistic that stuck out was there are a total of 35 of theses on an island of 500k which is incredible.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Right? I thought that was pretty wild too. It's a big part of their culture which is super cool.

[@andik859]

It is not a fireworks factory. It is a fireworks club. Some guys play golf and this guys build fireworks. I love the daylight multibreak shells. This Timing and sound is fantastic. Sometimes the smoke is colored.

[@GeneralTechFireworks]

Loved this video and 100 years old factory 🎆🎆

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

[@flutsjah]

Great video with lots of nice information, like the italian influence on the colour coding still. Great to see such a handmade product.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Thank you, I totally agree with you. This is my 3rd factory visit in three different countries and it is very cool to see what traditions are being used today.

[@pyrodon5773]

Thanks Joel it's cool seeing how things are made and all that goes into it. Pyro on bro 💥💥💥👍

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Right, I always enjoy watching these types of videos, so I am happy to be able to make and share one too! Pyro on!

Man this was super informative and awesome! It is amazing it's all volunteer, handmade, and so much recycled and on island production!! Amazing!!! You had to be in heaven out there!!!

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

It was a fantastic experience! I have a ton of footage that I haven't had time to edit. Will have a standalone video on Matlese wheels and then just other footage from shows, shells, and more.

[@denfireworks]

@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics I can't wait to see the rest!!! Great job on this one!! And they do such incredible effects too...

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

@@denfireworks Omg yes! Some of the colors in person were wild. Best colors I have seen since Japan.

[@MichaelWorx]

Joel that is awesome man, God Bless and hope you hit more places around the globe. Thanks as always Brother

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Thank you man! I travel quite a bit, but most of the time it isn't much to do with fireworks, or I don't have time to record the footage. This was my third firework factory from a different country.

[@MichaelWorx]

That is great, I use to travel a lot, getting ready to do a lot more. The whole fireworks thing has me very intrigued. I would like to see Del Vicario.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

@@MichaelWorx That's awesome to hear! I can't promise how much more firework travels are this year, but I have a few international trips on the books for work/personal travel

[@MichaelWorx]

@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics There is only one who can promise anything and it is not you or I. Well enjoy those trips, and hopefully fireworks mixes into the stay. Thanks Joel as laways

@@bennycru I am right there with you. It's quite fascinating stuff

[@bennycru]

@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics exactly brother, I really do appreciate all their hard work they do to make the shells for all the shows around the world, very complicated process and dangerous, God bless them and there trade.

That was pretty cool seeing

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Happy to share!

[@davidrogers-jz1wt]

All by hand the quality should be top notch cause each step is watched closely

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

They are also all made by passionate individuals. None of them are getting paid to make those fireworks.

[@fireworkdisplaysuk]

Nice one Joel ✌🏻👌🏻💥

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Thank you kindly!

[@Jrpyro-hm2vs]

So amazing so much that goes into making the firework shells

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

It is an incredible artform that many of us take for granted!

[@Crossfirepyro2]

Thanks very cool

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Glad you liked it!

[@3ccdmike]

Neat ! My first shell was a 6" double pedal Chines but all after that were Italian. 480

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

That is awesome to hear!

[@bethanyhaskiell9116]

Hey Joel did you learn any secrets while you were there maybe you can make your own artillery shells

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Haha! My best bet would be starting to manufacturer in a club like at the Pyrotechnic Guild International Convention. They have classes to build whatever you'd like.

[@tipusharma1687]

❤good job sir

[@DJAlexParker]

7:25 are the sandbags hanging so that if there is a fire, the bags burn open and the sand helps put it out a bit?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I believe that is extra ingredients. Not sure exactly what though

[@spidersinspace1099]

4:34 That field full of dried brush is a disaster waiting to happen. Just imagine if it caught on fire.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I'm pretty sure that was planted with wheat or similar type of crop.

[@spidersinspace1099]

@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Regardless, fire is fire. Doesn’t matter what plants are burning. But I guess they know what they’re doing.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

@@spidersinspace1099 Correct, I only mentioned that because I'm pretty sure it was intentionally there. The whole island looks like a fire waiting to happen in the dry months.

[@dockomockopocko4833]

Woww

[@SultrySeeder]

If they use grapevines for charcoal, then where do they get their nitrates from?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Great question. I have very little manufacturing experience, so would need someone else to chime in.

[@laquil23]

@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics We get some nirates from other country's ,and also some other nitrates we produce our own

[@beavischrist5]

From spain and italy. Prices are 4 times higher than other country because they import almost everything.

Sweet inside look, It seems like the Chinese don't make professional canister shells. I found some three inch but nothing bigger than that Everything's a ball shell

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

You're correct, all larger shells are ball shells from China. I'm guessing it has something to do with the mass production aspect.

[@laquil23]

Hi Joel Robinson, My dream is to make a Maltese Fireworks show in USA on 4th of July which consists Ground and Arial fireworks but we are to far, Maltese Fireworks Factory like to present a show but it's to expensive for us to deliver this show, but you never know maybe we will find a good US sponsor one day, you never know, that's all the Maltese Fireworks pyro's wish

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

That would be lovely! To my understanding, Malta doesn't allow exporting fireworks, so I assume you would have to make them in the USA?
