When I had taken my pyrotechnics and aerial fireworks courses, the member from the ERD, had explained that to make gunpowder and or fireworks of any kind u need a license to do so.
I cant find the excerpt from where it is stated, the lady had said this verbally to us during our class, but u can call the explosive regulatory division, and they will be happy to explain and where it is listed. there they will also tell u how much u can store of gunpowder and smokeless powders ect.
mckutzy, what is the "explosive regulatory division"?
camerl, made with Alder Buckthron branches, picked in late winter packed full of glucose from Slovenia, aged for 3 years and then made into charcoal with the retort temperature @ 320 C. ?i do have a recipe for modern swiss BP(just like the stuff you buy)
Naw, can't buy into your recipe that it's just like Swiss...
Sorry, Urban Legend

As are most such things.
lol
its the recipe modern swiss powder it is the same. i used balsa charcoal
it makes for a faster burn. and as for swiss powder cant find it here
but
this is where i got my info http://www.musketeer.ch/blackpowder/recipe.html
do what now
all you do is put the wood chunks in a can with a another can bottom
to fit over it put it on a fire and there you go charcoal.
then put the chunks of charcoal in a ball mill of some sort
with lead balls when it turnd in to a powder.
measure out the amout of charcoal and sulfur and
mix it and put it in the ball mill .
then measure and dissolve the saltpeter
then put the charcoal/sulfur in to the saltpeter.
this vid can explain it better then i can http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkWKffzY0Yk
from what I have read, glazing is not really necessary.
I think it was used for moisture control.
I will have to review my old manuals
serpentine powder is ok, but how abouts are u making your presscake?
