+ You make it. Please don't do anything harmful with this stuff.

Basic gunpower is made of three elements all of which used to be easily found:
Sulfur 2 parts
Charcoal 3 parts
Saltpeter(Sodium Nitrate) 10 to 12 parts

I used it as a kid to get rid of stumps. I would drill a hole in the stump and kind of twist the drill around to cause a chamber at the bottom about 3 inches deep (sometimes I would drill several holes at an angle from the same top hole for the enhanced chamber effect) and I think I used about a 1/4 inch drill bit. Filled the hole with the gunpowder and lay one of my grandfather's Chesterfield cigs (lit) across the top as a fuse. It took about 5 min for the cig to burn down and ignite the power.

Preparing the gunpower was pretty easy, I would take a plate for each of the ingredients and use a tablespoon and crush the elements separately into as fine a power as I could and transfer the product about an ounce of each into a dry shoe box. Place the lid on it and shake it so that they all mixed evenly. Then take the mix out to the predrilled holes and fill them. It sure made the stumps easier to dig and break up after this exercise. Then I learned that if you did a little bigger hole and filled it with rock salt and let it sit all winter by the time spring had sprung the center of the stump had rotted enough to make the job easy without all of the work of gunpowder.

So what are your plans? Did you know that by asking this question you will be checked out if anything happens?

"What's the Diff?!" I'm Lovin It! ... (oops, wrong fat-monger) I'm with every thinking, logical voter/Citizen in the U.S. - the parties have become one flesh and this is one with a voracious appetite. What we have is one ventriloquist and two dummies. I think the most powerful message I've seen that could fight this friggin' mess is from: -- www.THIRTYTHOUSAND.ORG -- The Constitution specifies that each Lower-House district must have no fewer than 30,000 Constituents. The Federalist Papers indicated that none should represent more than 50 to 60 thousand. And here's where it gets sticky: they did not specify that latter (maximum) number in the Constitution. The Reapportionment Acts of 1911 and 1929 ended our realistic representation by halting any increase in lower-house reps. It fixed the number at 435 because that number is magical and makes your eye's sparkle! (right!) I swear, it had something to do with 'not enough chairs', no more space on Capitol Hill or some equally condescending smirk of an excuse. "Congratulations mindless Citizens! We've now corralled between 600,000 and 700,000 of you under ONE [so-called] representative! Enjoy the taxation without representation. "As for any intelligent assessment - much less resultant challenge of our blatant usurpation of your Liberties, we're not worried in the least! We have radio and TV to keep you all worked up and emotional. Emotion short-circuits your logic and keeps you thinking in terms of imaginary party-hatred. Suckers!" Put that in your pipe and launch it! ...

An easily accessible and LEGAL source of gun powder is ROCKET ENGINES. Thats right, rocket engines, just like the ones you buy at Wal-Mart or K-Mart for those little backyard rockets. Get A's B's C's or what ever class engine you wish but I get more powder for my buck with C's and D's.


Gunpowder
Simple recipe to make your own gunpowder from simple chemicals. Also shows how to make Guncotton (smokeless powder). You never have to buy gunpowder again.

What does this have to do with performing arts? Surely, there is an appropriate category for this sort of question...
