College roommate arrived with his tanks - he was skilled as an artist too, but he showed us a little baggie with a bit of paper towel sticking out of it and told us to STAND BACK.
yeahright... he lit it and it went up with a tiny little 'poof'... set it up again and again, "STAND BACK" and the thing went 'poof' again.
By the third attempt, we were not believing anything serious could happen and the little baggie. It BLEW UP with a horrendous sound. Smashed my pants against my legs at 30ft and send a wall of thunder toward the VA hospital 1/2 mi away that came back to us a few moments later. We ducked in the apt really fast and hunkered down for the campus police to arrive... they didn't...
having a skilled welder around the house was enormously handy...
