Ross Allchorn from Allchorn Design created this time lapse of his design process on a fictitious blog from mind map to paper sketch to the first Fireworks design concept, and it’s an interesting (and quick!) look behind the scenes of the design process form start to finish:
Fireworks might be outlawed in most fire-prone places, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun this Fourth of July weekend by shooting things into the sky.
Make has put together a fantastic set of instructions for creating your very own Soda Bottle Rocket, and before you know it, you’ll be shooting rockets into the night sky like the big boys.
This is definitely an ‘at your own risk’ project, but if you’d like to try (and possibly loose) your hand at making your own homemade fireworks, then check out Instructables.
