Traditional Canister Shell Construction. Learn how multi-break shells are made! Come into the workshop at Ideal Display. Master shellmaker Mr. Louis J. Semenza - 60 years manufacturing display fireworks - shows us the traditional way of making a 4" 3-break color shell with bottom shot.
He carefully explains how much paper to use, shows how he loads the shell, discusses fusing, shows the secrets of folding down the pasted paper for neat, strong cases.
He shows his stringing setup and carefully and painstakingly shows you how to string the shell for proper breaks. A master shellmaker tells his secrets!
Then the DVD finishes with a display by Ideal! We've combined both of Mr. Semenza's seminars into this one DVD! This now includes his seminar on Circle Shells with Stars and Quickie Shells. 77 min.
