Birthday Party Fireworks Display 

Thanks so much for the help Dave. I had my ATF interview last month and I just received my license on Monday. I'm also enrolled in shooter school for Rozzis fireworks in Cinci and will be helping with shows, so looks like i'm going to get plenty of experience with the big boy stuff lol. Thanks again for everything, I highly recommend everyone get the DVD packet.

Most private holder of an ATF fireworks license normally does just one show a year. I would recommend working part time for a professional display company; it is a great way to learn more about pyrotechnics. If you want to work for a pro company be ready to work the week of July 4th. This is the week they need the most help. If you cannot work that week they usually do not want to give you work at other times of the year.

well the rain helps with fire safety, good video! lol

That was cool man i hope to be in your position some day. Id love for people to call me up wanting a small back yard firework show

Holly Moses. Despite the small size. What an awesome noise :-)

Haha, Dave, "The Rainbringer." Someone should make him a shirt for that.

Hi, it's been a while since I've left a comment on your video's, but I can assure you that I've seen them all. I'd just like to say that, all of your video's are very clear, despite being narrated in English. I think I speak for your entire Dutch fan-base when I say your video's are perfectly understandable just the way they are. You provide pyrotechnic entertainment all year 'round, while we wait for that one day we're allowed to use fireworks ourselves. Cheers!

hey dave nice show i really liked the cakes

This was a new upload great show! TIPS FOR DOING SOMETHING WE LOVE TO DO CANT BEAT THAT! LUCKY MAN!

While based in United States, I am fortunate to have video subscribers from all over the world. That is why I added all those countries to the forums of my website pyrotalk.com. I enjoy seeing comments from other countries. I only wish I could translate some of my videos for those that do not speak English. To everyone outside of United States I love you all and thank you for following my videos.

love ur vids ive been subbed for a while

How much did this show cost? Please reply!! Thanks dave! @displayfireworks1

That is one hell of a backyard show, well done Dave!

Dave, my name is Drew. I am a twelve year old and love what you are doing! Maybe I can grow up to be like you and have that much fun!

great video dave

That was a nice vid Dave

Dam good show

im a dutchy too and i just had to say this, i really don't mind that your speaking english but yeah, that doesn't mean im talking for everyone haha:) keep on with the shows and explanations, greetings:)

Amazing backyard show Dave! Loved it!

Hey Dave, most if not all canister shells are meant for 1.91" mortars (DR11). The regular consumer shells will most likely fit into the 1.81" (DR9) mortars. You might already know this but thought I give a shout out anyway.

beautiful fireworks

Erains r amazing

Great job once again Dave, I just purchased your how-to video for ATF type 54, I look forward to using it here in the near future. See you on the forums, Dave.

Great show! Especially considering that it was a small backyard show! Do you think you could send some of that rain to the desert dwellers like me? I got a good early rain on the 4th which made my shoot low stress. I got a good bit of family just outside of Pittsburgh so maybe I'll get lucky and have a chance to see some of your work live! There's even a possibility of me moving out there to help out w/my uncles business, which would bring me much closer to my passion!

Im in love with big salutes and thunder kings :)

Dave what kind of clearance did you have from the tree line and home/swingset? Looks like your biggest shell may have been 2" MAYBE thanks in advance

If it's raining in western PA, it's probably because Dave is shooting fireworks.

Thank you Dave! That 2,5 inch salute cake was loud. It would be nice if I could get something similar over here.

Nice work like always

Nice show I loved the thunderking the most

No, I am in love with Salutes AND Thunder Kings.

pretty good pacing on the small show.

hey dave i follow ur videos a lot and tell u the truth ur videos inspired me and i got my license to buy 1.3 product. but i just do a show once a year for the 4th and i thought about maybe joining a big fireworks company. can i get some advice about joining and maybe some advantages and disadvantages about them. i would apperciate it.

2:53 i think at bottom is water, can those shells be submerged in flammable liquid like gasoline, will it be more spectacular ?

Bring some of that rain to Wyoming it's too dry here because of drought to send anything skyward without burning down the high plains.

you are a huge inspiration to me and would love if you could help me obtain a license to ignite fireworks class c,b,a!!!! i love and respect your videos and your passion for pyrotechnics!!!!

richtig geiles feuerwerk :)

how much would a pyro company charge for a show like this? (like If I would want to hire a company to have a show like this for my party)

i would love to have a birthday like this lol

You will be getting a call very soon to set up an appointment for your interview. The ATF has 90 days to complete your application. The usually do it in half that time. You will have your 1.3 license soon I predict. Thank you for purchase my ATF DVD’s, send me an email when you get your license.

are some of these videos re uploads, they look familiar

I live in the Allentown Pa area and no way would the township allow me a permit if I was going to shoot in such a wooded residential area!

where do u get your canister shells Dave.

It may be the exact opposite of the way you perceive it. If you set up a 10 to 15 minute display and shoot everything as a display, it may be better than slowly shooting things over a long period. Fireworks going off periodically over a period of hours may aggravate your neighbors more. Depending on the amount of sunlight the 930 to 10pm hours has always worked best for me. After 10 is pushing your luck. It is not a guarantee just minimizing the risk.

Dave, you are in love with Thunder Kings

Hi Dave... I enjoy your videos a lot and have learned a lot as well. With your Cobra firing system, do you use alligator clips or E-matches?? If you use E-matches, do you make your own or buy them already made?? I own a Cobra system and recently used ematches..

i sent off my app to the ATF a few weeks ago thanks to your help with the DVD package. About how long does it take before the ATF will contact you to get the ball rolling on everything? Great videos, i always learn alot from you man. Thanks

How much do you charge for a small firework show like that? and do you travel?

Dave, Where can I find 1.4 salutes? Possibly from a mortar kit.

Why do you need a permit to fire on private land?,over here in Britain we can fire fireworks in our gardens or on private land on any day of the year without having to get permission from anyone,i guess your laws are different to ours.

I love thunderkings

ok thanks

What brand are those purple cakes?

I always like to spread them too........ My wires that is ;)

cooooooooooooooooooool

Thats the first time I've ever seen you use excalibur canister shells.

I have a question, what do you suggest to do if you cant aford a state of the ark remote control firework launcher thing like that? what do you suggest to do instead of that? please respond!

DAVE, has a full tank of gas! lol

what's that between you and rain? hehe

Dave is that in a community called millbrook?

I am 16 years old, and like other many teenagers i'm looking for a profession and i'm interested in a lot of different ones, but what is your profession? Or is making fireworks a profession at all?

Hey dave i live in texas and i was wondering are there any wholesale places i wanted to hopefully go allout next year please message me back
