Foolishness

[BigTex]

Bet you could have put a downpayment on a car with all those fireworks. Lol and the 2.20 kilo shells will break most tables. We finally ended up using a large sheet of plywood with holes cut in them to go on top of the tubes and some metall weights to stabalize it.

We have finally gone with angle-iron frames, with 5/8" plywood with extra 2x4 support in the center for the tables. Steel pipe pieces welded at the corners allow us to slide them onto the steel pipe (smaller diam) legs, which slide into pipe pieces we secured in concrete. When we can get welder access, we weld launch tubes (1-7/8" interior diam, groups of 4) to base plates, this is heavy and stable enough for what we launch.

We can only do Class C works, and even those are frowned upon in my state. We thought about getting a Class B licence, but that's a lot of hassle, regulations, and opens you up to bigtime potential liability.

This would definitely by my foolishness. Going on ten years of this mayhem, and I can still count to 10 with my fingers. Been pegged a few times by strays, but what can you do? The show must go on. Keep the safety goggles on and continue firing.

As to the cost, well, it's just better not to speak of it... Thankfully, the good people at Phantom Fireworks give us the 2-for-1 special.
