Yep!
Well, don't want my great instructions to get lost too. I put too dam much work into them. So, for posterity:
ACME BLACK POWDER MAKING INSTRUCTIONS
INGREDIENTS:
1. Pure potassium nitrate milled very fine. - 75%
2. Pure sulphur milled very fine. - 10%
3. Charcoal milled very fine. - 15%
A. Black Willow
B. Sassafras

Cook wood until charred. (Not too hot/long!) Beat, pound, grind, mill until fine powder.
Mix ingredients and ball mill for more than 3 hours but less than 2 days.
Do flash test. FUN! (Do away from other powder(s) for best outcome.)
a. Optional: Invite Roadrunner, have him hold a pound while testing.
Compress powder. (More than jumping up and down on it required.)
Beat, pound, grind, mill until required granulation is achieved.
Fireworks and "Sporting", or gun use powder classifications, (and quality!) are different, so don't get confused, then,
Screen grade.
Package and go shoot.
Patents pending.
