BIG SHELL - This is me holding an 8 inch professional display shell. These are what shoot upwards and create the colorful bursts we see in the sky. This is from the annual fireworks display fired from the waterfront trail in Port Angeles, Washington.
MORTARS - This is a shot of just a few of the hundreds of mortars that shoot the fireworks into the sky. After this picture was taken, the bags were removed and the shells were loaded. Because of their large size, these tubes are buried into the ground.
MORE MORTARS - Another shot of mortars, but these are build into racks for easy transportation and setup.
WORKBENCH - This is my garage workbench filled with 4th of July goodies.
PYRO COLIN - Here's the mad scientist prepping his shells for the 4th of July. If you want one of those awesome mushroom cloud PYRO t-shirts, go to FireworksLand.com
MORTAR BOX - This is one of two "mortar boxes" I fired my 2000 firework show from. The box was filled with sand and then rocks to prevent movement of the tubes.
AERIAL STATION - This is one of the setups I used in 1999, consisting of fountains and repeaters that were fused to go off simultaneously.
FIRING PANEL - My first control box. I built it in shop class in 8th grade. It worked OK, but it sure was a piece of crap.
NEW STATIONS - I used 4 aerial stations for my 2000 display, each consisting of 5 fountains/repeaters. They were placed in a semicircle around the far side of my cul-de-sac, and ignited simultaneously in pars of twos. Each one lasted nearly 2 minutes.
NEW FIRING PANEL - My dad built this thing, and I put in all the switches and wired it. It plugs into a car battery, and can fire up to 20 different fireworks (or groups of them).
