People that dont roll their stars really dont unstand that the lead amount is minimal.. but that being said. I switched to mustard seeds as cores. Great video i love how you did it. Thx
Gotta say, you make some nice stars. I wish Pyrodata had videos for all their star compositions. I've been trying to find the brocade effect but no luck.
You can probably use ceramic balls or even an organic product like mustard seeds in lieu of lead shot. Where do you get these different powders (not BP but the others like chrysanthemum)? Are they commercially available?
To start the stars, with lead shot..I always used a little bentonite clay first couple layers. Then the comp sticks to that very well. I didn't see if you did that or not, you Mentioned it was hard to get the comp started in the stars. Nice roller👍
Nice job a concrete mixer works well for rolling. The hand powered ones work to and there cheap. Regardless its nice to see the innovative I used to use my ball mill rollers to roll a container to make mine in before I gor the mixer. I still like to cut a lot of stars but round stars fit much better in ball shells
Hey there, I'm hoping for a prime. Kid I have nitrate hi magnalium fast ejection stars and a dozen or more test stars in a box of bags. I'm having a time coming up with a trusted all around prime without Dichromate.. New puppy's to poison ya know.. What do ya think?. Bob
This reminds me of some footage I saw of a Chinese factory where they used electric cement mixers for this.. Had no idea what they were doing at the time, the more you know!
What happens to the lead shot? Does it call out of the sky? Does it get burned up and pollute the air with lead? Is there another core that could be used?
I’m not sure what ends up happening to the cores but the amount is so tiny that it wouldn’t be at all dangerous to the environment. As for alternatives I think the next best thing is mustard seeds, they are harder to use though
Wow, you're not wrong about the dust mask. Didn't really think about it cause I was thinking about hand rolling and rolling in a wok. So I figured you'd be good if you put on gloves or even assiduously washed your hands. But yeah inhaling chlorates and soluble barium salts probably isn't on anyone's bucket list.
To whoever liked my comment if you just look up the name of the star mix on the internet there should be a recipe for it. You will need to but the chemicals to make this mix.
No doubt fantastic video with lovely music i hope that your further videos will be with such soothing music. One thing which i didn't like was the lead cores.
I think other types of cores can be used but lead shot is easy if you’re a beginner. Also it’s not very much lead per shell and I would assume that most of it is vaporised when the star burns
I have watched a hundred hours or so of firework making videos, bought books on the subject and read the various pyro forums and it bugs me how many people want all the work done for them in the comments... I am all for freedom of information and sharing of knowledge but some people are just lazy. This is NOT the kind of hobby you want to take SHORTCUTS in.
@@afbennett3038 thank you, in this book I've been reading on it says to use #6 lead shot, but the fallout could be dangerous right? Id rather use something that wont get me hurt like the mustard seed, but do i need to coat those with bentonite clay also???
@@ChiraqVet initially I was quite worried about the lead shot raining down everywhere but it really isn’t much per shell. A small spoonful of 2mm reclaimed shot makes a pretty large batch of stars and due to their weight the hardest part of the process which is getting them started is a lot easier. As for coating them in bentonite I haven’t read anything about that but if it was recommended it’s probably worth a try. Hope this helped
I agree, to the BATFE, this constitutes a destructive device. Grab your ankles if you get caught firing lead balls. This is the worst case of stupidity Ive seen in quite awhile. Idiot.
Those are beautiful stars . You process shows that it takes some time and patience to make really good stars .
Gorgeous results and clean process, awesome! Keep it up for sure!
Hey man, i want a whistle sky shot
I love the sound when your pouring the the stars in the plastic bucket through the mesh screen.
Uhhh you shouldn’t use lead shot bud! Use peppercorn seeds instead that way you don’t rain down bird shot all over the neighborhood. Just a tip.
Nice tip man I'm sure the seeds would be lighter than the lead shot aswell 💪
Or mustard seed, or coriander seed...
Ive made some tiny stars with poppy seed as the core.

how long did it take you too make these stars a day? 2 days ..3? just curious
Actually they took me about 5 hours to make. It’s pretty hard work but definitely worth it
AWESOME VIDEO, thanks for that. Love the bucket set-up. I can't tell you how much this video helps me!!!!

Is the outer shell just charcoal? Can you tell more about the each layer?
U make some real good stuff

Can I have the recipe for the heat prime?
Do you know where I can buy the star mix?

How long does it takes to make this balls
For the ones shown here it took about 4 hours but they can be made in very large quantities
I want to know where the firecrackers are bought or how
they are bought at stores w the good stuff
How do you make coloured stars?
Are you really commenting that on a tutorial that teaches you this?
damn that end shell looked hella clean was that chrysta whatever to white or what
Oh right it was chrysanthemum 8 to green to fascia, the camera doesn’t pick up the colours very well
@@afbennett3038 where did you get your green, red
@@kaaasis found them online. Type in fucsia and Spanish green
@@afbennett3038 oh you made them sadly I cant get perchorates and other stuff
@@kaaasis u can make potassium chlorate with a sodium hypochlorite generator though,search it up
No doubt fantastic video with lovely music i hope that your further videos will be with such soothing music.

@@afbennett3038 Okay bro:)
Use mustard seeds. 9 bucks for 1lb on pyrodirect.com
@@afbennett3038 lead absolutley wont vaporize, i think you shouldn't use shot, leads also making your stars way heavier than necessary
@@Thatbastardcatthat’s the point🙄🤦🏻♀️

guys where can i faund the colour
Is the colour any specific chemical/s or a blackpowder-like combination that creates a colourful flame?
Unfortunately not, black powder or charcoal based comps only make gold willow ish stars, if you add titanium you can get silver sparks though
Amazing tutorial! Loved it!
what did you use for cores?
Lead shot. But mustard seeds work too
@@afbennett3038 thank you, in this book I've been reading on it says to use #6 lead shot, but the fallout could be dangerous right? Id rather use something that wont get me hurt like the mustard seed, but do i need to coat those with bentonite clay also???

@@afbennett3038 ill give it try. Thanks
What if the shell catos? Won't you get sprayed by lead shot?
What composison ??
Can I make a firework star with only black powder
Yes, but it’d be pretty dull
@@afbennett3038 alright thanks. I found a video that uses the metal stick sparklers so I’m gonna do that.
Kclo3 or kclo4 in the compositions? Nice video
The red and the green is kclo4 I think, then the charcoal tail comp is KNO3
@@afbennett3038 ok! And if you don’t mind me asking, bought or made?
@@noakberglund8150 I make all of the compositions myself, chemicals are all bought online
Did you get out of pyro buddy?
@@ChemOmatic yeah I did. Went off to university and landlords don’t take too kindly to pyrotechnics 😂
@@afbennett3038 I can see that 😂 any plans to do it in the future?
Nice video, but what’s with the wrist slashing music?
So if the shell blow up on the ground. Each 1 of them balls are filled with steel shot? That crazy!
Sounds bad I know but they slow way down in the air as they burn so the steel shot would be the least of your worries

@@mikenahorniak1539 it’s common to use lead shot for star cores. They pose little to no risk
Nice wanna sell a bag of those?😂
Plzzz green colour chemical name

It is like boba
