Constructing a 5" canister shell with crossette (split comet) stars. Phil Martinez starts right in by showing you crossette star tools and how to split them into 4 parts. He shows rammed spollettes, gives careful, detailed explanations of assembling the shell, tricks on loading the comets, packing, spiking, how to figure amount of lift, breaking paper, pasting in, etc.
Phil's careful demonstrations pull no punches - it's all here, including a special tool to ensure the split, and a fusing technique that guarantees ignition! From basics for the beginner to improving break patterns for the advanced shellmaker, this is the DVD you want. 90 min.
