Do I need to say...that sure looks like a fun weekend project to annoy the wife.

Only thing about videos like this is you have to give your email address to get the "template". Sorry I don't give up my addy that easy.

As a kid, I used to do something similar, but not as detailed as this project. I used to take a small square of foil, and wrap it around a match. I'd put a sewing pin along the match before pressing the foil all around the match. Pull the pin out to leave an exhaust port. Set the match on an angle and light it up. The match will shoot of like a bottle rocket. Probably didn't go as far as the ones in the OP, since the match was part of the rocket, but still cool.

 In this time of technology it's nice to see something so simple.

Thanks TDR, your google fu is stronger than mine. I searched and could only find links that required the email address.

You can put a toe nail in it and make a stink bomb.

We used to do the same thing back in high school !

The King of Random is my hero...well not really, but I have been making/doing a lot of things from his YouTube channel. Subscribe to it, there's some awesome stuff.
