I made a lot of fireworks in my heyday. Mostly smokebombs, but sometimes improvisational stuff with other fireworks. I was 16 or 17 going into Home Depot looking for Potassium Nitrate aka Salt Petre aka stump killer :)
And I built most of a Tesla coil. I stopped short when it came time to solder together the capacitor bank. I read too much that made me think I'd kill myself or blow up the house if I shorted something out on accident. Used the transformer for a nice Jacob's Ladder though!
