By the way, how do you make homemade black powder ?

Daryl, easily made from the classical proportions of Potassium Nitrate (saltpeter), sulfur and charcoal. Making instructions can be found through Google and in addition member Charlie Cleveland has a few posts on same in the Off Topic forum. Back in the day another friend Bart and I came up with a good way to wet mix the ingredients, then dry and granulate, which wasn't the safest, and I hesitate to share that here.
