Building a 5" MultiBreak Shell (Part 2)

Building, attaching, and spiking the second shell of a multibreak canister firework.

My website - a work in progress: http://www.grassrootsdiy.com/

I've been delayed in filming this video for the past two weeks due to bad weather. My mill also broke down. I am now low on black powder, and without a way to make more until I get a new mill, this shell may be limited to these two breaks. Time will tell.

Very nicely constructed shell! I watched pt3 for the launch and it was nice. Seemed to break really low - almost a flowerpot. Was this intentional? Ignore the rude comments... ignorant kids who hoped to see some no-talent property destruction or gore. Anyone who has built a shell will appreciate the skill here.

@ikinner It did flowerpot. The middle shell blew up in the gun but the other two still made it in the air. I have since changed my building technique to making the shells one on top of the other, rather than one at a time then spiking them together.

you have any vid of that going off? looks awesome :-)

[Nighthawkinlight]

@heinegrabber72 Yes, the video is a response to this one.

@naspla100 It is rather arrogant for you to say that anything other than Italian methods are "totally in error". I am well aware of the Fulcanelli methods of building, as well as half a dozen other methods, all of which have produced competition worthy multibreaks. There are many styles of building, each with advantages and disadvantages. Being a snob about following only traditional methods limits innovation and creativity, and therefore is a disservice to the art.

@tanasi20080 It's not a rocket, it doesn't need to be.
