Do you do this professionally as a business? Are you required to have blast containers, $1M of insurance coverage? What did you have to do to get your display license? I live in Maine and these are all restrictions I need to do overcome to just do a show for myself. Its frustrating. Also how many modules/queues did you need for this show? Sorry for all the questions.
Honestly its more of a hobby, where I'm at if you're hired to do a show you need a hazmat CDL to transport 1.3g and liability insurance (that ranges from 10k-35k a year) the insurance coverage depends on the what the venue wants for coverage, most recommend 2-3 million. but private shows on your own property don't require a CDL or liability coverage (probably depends on the state) As for a getting the license fill out the ATF type-54 paperwork, get a background check, fingerprints, and a passport photo taken and send it in. (might need safety training also) You need an ATF approved firework magazine if you plan to store 1.3g fireworks since 1.3g fireworks cant be out of storage for more than 24 hours. I would highly recommend working with a display company to learn 1.3g safety and the ATF laws because they vary so much from state to state.
Listening to you talk reminds me of myself lol. "These are all timed right, or should be" lol. You should be an electronic ignition system and some talon igniters i think you will love setting the shit up. I got the set for this fourth and its fun as hell
@@ryry7886That's what I was thinking lol because those big breaks are expensive, and tbh if he used solely smaller breaks, and sat the family closer to the display, all of the fireworks can appear just as big withput actually being as big. That's what I like to do, you can literally get an insane display put together with only a few hundred bucks worth of discount 200g cakes and a good electric igniter with some quick fuse
Too funny i came across this video because i always use a cobra but this year just for knowledge & curiosity im gonna try a 1 light fuse setup like y'all did.
I'm still learning with 2 backyard shows under my belt. Budget about $1000. I've used the local phantom and another local store. Can you guys give insight on wholesale? I.e. is there a minimum budget that makes it worthwhile, what are some wholesale stores, and anything else I should know?
@@amphitrichous So, my wholesaler (he's a really cool guy if ur in Washington you should check him out) has tier pricing, so basically if you spend under 1000$ you will receive a tier of pricing that in my honest opinion doesn't make it worth it, but if you spend over 1000, you receive a tier that over the years I get this tier, then over 5000 is a tier with even cheaper prices (this tier is made for sellers) I don't know how other wholesalers do it, that just how mine is.
@@landonmcconaghy9351 Btw, really like your flash pot holder concept - probably stealing that haha 😆Have you tried it with flames or 20mm mines? Wondering about the stability if the flame or mine is on the end of the holder? Potential to tip? Maybe no - just wondering if you've tested and have any feedback on that?
@@steventurner651 Here is the link to the tripods on amazon! www.amazon.com/dp/B0C33LQGH1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 I have not tried flames yet but I will for my show on the 4th, not sure if i would trust it with mines but it might be worth a try!
What's the foil for? I always fuse mine together but without foil and they always work as planned. It takes a second or two of direct flame for my fuse to light so I never worried about the sparks...
@@landonmcconaghy9351 How are they while using them? I plan on getting them next but dont you have to use a brass poke and get into the cake a little? How do you light cans also with them?
@@Octuly they work great! yes you have to poke a hole right where the fuse goes into the cake and insert the mjg igniter then I tape over the igniter so it does not fall out. For canister shells I just used a combination of fuses that burns at different rates and wired them all up to one igniter but their is better ways to do it. I found a video that has a couple more ways ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z9gM1f06O-A.html
Nice opening to a very nice diligent application. Great product great safety. Very nice.. dang the wind looked ominous in the background. Onward 🌈 with fun safe times. Pyrotechnics
@@landonmcconaghy9351 Thank you for reaction. Good to see there is no delay. You mean the burning time of the cakes was too fast? This has nothing to do with the Ignition firing system?
Nice setup, staked cakes! 👍 Can I ask what state you're in? In my state we can have and store all the 1.3g we want (with federal license of course), but an individual can't get a permit to shoot them... has to be a business/organization.
We can buy as much 1.3g as we want also, with a federal license. but storing it is different, depending on the size of the firework magazine and where its located will determine how much you can store. It also must have padlocks with at least 5 pins, and 3/8in shackles I believe (don't quote me on that) and you cant have the padlock exposed where someone could cut it/ grind it off. An ATF agent must inspect and sign off that the storage is adequate.
I highly highly recommend cobra firing system over ignite. I'm not sure when the 8" went off? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 I shot 4 on every one of my shows this year so I'm curious what the 8" effects were?
Nice setup. piece of advice you should cover your cakes with aluminum foil all the way because there might be a little gust of wind and catch fire to the cakes and this could ruin your show.
Nice show with a lot of fusing I know a bunch of people already hit you up up electronic firing system so I will not say anything but I myself like fusing my show as well there is just something about getting the timing down with fuse that is so satisfying. Keep fusing if that’s what you like🎇🎆🧨
Not criticizing just information to have when you tin foil the fuse you change the speed of which the fuse Burns due to the hot gases get trapped.Industry uses the science to speed up the burn rate.
Good fusing on the show i know how much time it took to put in been there and it shows!!! Get you a little firing system so much easier than fusing everything i use a cobra but any firing system to start off is cool try it out you will go bigger and bigger! Great job 👏 👍 👌 🙌
Excellent little show! You should check out the ignite firing system. It uses an app to shoot the fireworks. Make life easier next year ☺️. Thanks for the show 👍
