No safety shield? I thought whistle was always supposed to be pressed behind a shield standard practice? Not claiming this is wrong, just curious. I only press BP in my unshielded harbor freight press, but if I could press whistle without spending the coin on a piece of Lexan safely I would do it
I added a shield on that press just the other day, FW. I've only pressed BP endburners on that press 'til now, but decided that once the vid of pressing whistle was done, I needed a shield for insurance. Good point. Thanks.
i try these with 7:3 perchlorate and sodium benzoate, my motor was not whistling and didnt go up and it cato in the end of burning....what am i doing wrong?
Any catalyst like copper oxychloride in the mix? That's typically required. And the chemicals need to be very fine, and intimately mixed. We also use a lubricant/phlegmatizer in the mix, such as vaseline or mineral oil, to desensitize the propellant. Whistle mix is very powerful, and static/friction sensitive. Be careful.
Why not use a hickory or cocabola (African hardwood, stuff snaps like granite & is absolutely beautiful when sanded & oiled...just an FYI buddy) wood ramrod? They're hard as shit & you take the metal outta the equation all together?...
Good wishes.. very bery happy to see you back! Infact I was little woried..looking forward to your next post.
Nice to see you posting videos again. Hope you are well.
Thanks, Bruce. Yep, gettin' back in the saddle after a few slower winter months. A bit of hibernation never hurt anyone..
Always a good idea to keep metal away from metal in fireworking. Nice job. Pozdrowienia!
Neds back!
Good to see ya back, Ned. I look forward to seeing you in Gillette!
The Master at work!
Nice job. Did you granulate your whistle comp? If so is it as simple as granulating bp?
Really nice. I've did hundreds that way
Any thought of putting foot controls on your press?

Ned where can I purchase that p2f gauge pound reader that sits at the bottom that measures the pounds per square inch, and the clamp shell?
Caleb at woodysrocks.com Certainly an indispensable tool in my work.
@@nedgorski thanks ned your a big help!..
Like your club cherry bomb sign ;)
Hello , your whistle mix is hard granulated,?it isn’t like rocket whistle mix ?Why? Thanks...
It is a rocket motor whistle mix. Just like I'll use in rockets.
Sir I want girandola composition plss tell me sir
Good job...
Hi Ned , could you please make a video on how to make black powder firework rockets please?
That is lesson 14 in Fireworking 201 on the website, Da...
@@nedgorski ok thank you
What is the composition?
Sir plss tell me this composition &other wishtel composition
Ranjan, all those details are in the website.I don't get into lengthy discussions of formulas or processes in UA-cam.
Thak you sir....sir pls give your website link description
@@আলোরউৎসব-ম৫ঠ Please see the first few seconds of the video for information, Ranjan.
7500 PSI = 517.1 Bar...at diameter 25.4 mm ? = 1.27 x 1.27 x 3.14 = 5,06 cm2 x 517.1 Bar ..Should by total power 2616 Kg ? Is it right ?

I have no issue with using metal tooling to make motors, but I just want to do everything I can to avoid pinching propellant between two metal parts.
