Hello from Kansas

[Pyro Paul]

Hi! I'm new to Pyro talk but not pyrotechnics although I've never gotten licensed. I've worked many commercial firework shoots and attended classes but my own backyard shows are consumer class on one long ass fuse. Not that consumer class is a bad thing, I take it to great heights and crowds average 150 ppl not counting the cars that pull over to watch or neighbors that watch from their own porch (not bad for a small farming community). I've always been a pyro fan and an old high school friend gave me the nickname lol. So now that I've watched all of Dave's vid's on youtube I finally decided to take the bull by the horns and order the kit to get my type 54. I may even get that state shooters license not to mention a wireless firing system. Thank you for all the great posts and reading material. I used some of the info from here for my roman candle fan racks this last 4th. Looking forward to furthering my hobby... :D

Paul , great to have you on the forums. Thanks for that great first post. I wish more people would introduce themselves with all that detail. After I posted that Roman Candle rack video my friend Scott made more people made that rack than I can count. That is a good thing. I love to hear when one of the long fuse guys finally moves into electrical wireless firing. It looks like someone in the area has some fireworks making experience by the looks of that shell. Thanks for following my fireworks videos, it pleases me to hear I inspire enthuist to progress further into the hobby.

for those that never saw the Roman Candle rack video here it is. Wow it is from 2009.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I hope to stay an active member in this community or dare I say family? I'm hoping to run across other fellow pyromaniacs from Kansas. May I also say thank you to the fellow Vets in here for your service. I share the same heritage, maybe that's why I feel so patriotic on the 4th of July. On the other hand nothing beats the big BOOM of a salute and the smell of smoke and sulfur. I love it all!! Thanks Dave for making this group possible. Now hurry up and get my video's here so I can get those forms sent off!! LOL (just kidding):p
