Diary
This part of the site has entries that I have made over the time that I have
been making spudguns and fireworks. The first few entries describe the pnuematic
gun that I made and the first combustion gun. For more on these look at the
pages specifically about these guns. In some parts, the apostrophes have been replaced
with equals signs, but I don't know why and I'm too lazy to fix it.
You may notice dates like "soon after building
it" in the first few entries. That's because I started to keep track of things a
while after I started making my first two guns, and I don't remember the dates.
I recommend reading all of this diary thing and remembering that I recorded stuff as I did it, and made lots of mistakes in the beginning. Meaning, that If you read the first half of this thing and go out and try all the stuff you read about, you'll waste you're time. If you want to learn from my mistakes, I recommend reading all of it but if you're in a hurry, just read the later entries.
This may read strangely because I also used it to remind myself of things to do. I mention stuff to do and then write that I made it in the next sentence, that's because I made entries throughout the day.
You may want to skip the first parts of the pyrotechnics
section, because I did some stupid (not dangerous, just useless) stuff, and I
also used some stuff from the anarchist crap-book **shame**, however the beginning of the document does
contain useful information for a newbie and shows how I progressed as I learned
more about pyrotechnics.
