Here is the prototype. Ultimately the colored chalk was in baggies
and the structure was a bit shorter with 5lbs of Tannerite centered beneath.
It blowed up real good.

The fun has begun!
Tonight's dinner is BBQ ribs & chicken, potato salad and cole slaw. There will dart games, Scrabble and lots of BS'ing and laughter.
Tomorrow the shooting starts at 10:00 at Hicksville Range in Gatesville. Eaker's ashes will be blown into the Heavens at 11:00. If things follow the same pattern as every other shoot, we'll eat lunch around 1:00.
Looking forward to seeing all that show up, will miss those can't make it.
Wish you could have come. You’ll have to ask the creators of that amazing gizmo. It was a total success!
I will tell you that it involved tannerite! LOL!
Amen. They were with us in heart throughout the weekend. As were the others we’ve lost....TexasCowboy, Flyer and Dix.

Very cool...
It was awesome! Even my car approved! :)
Thanks for the post Luv. Tom would have approved of his send off.
He is missed dearly by us all.
I planned on ten pounds of tannerite but Gunner told me it seemed excessive. So I drank another fifth of jack and cut the tannerite in half. Excessive indeed!
Huzzah!
Chalk line power on tannerite
All things in moderation.. :)
That’s my philosophy.
Very cool, huh!
The red, white and blue send-off was beautiful and tearful at the same time. Wonderful to see this pic :)
Yes, it blowed up beautiful-like. I’m glad we got you tannerite geniuses among us.
Pshaw, we just some big ol’ kids playin’ with firecrackers. ;-)
There were very mixed emotions when it went up! Did you click on the picture to see the video?
It worked just like they wanted it to! :)
He blowed up real good!
Sure did! Just like the engineers figured he would!
This could become a trend among shooters. LOL!
We missed you!!
I was shooting birds instead of tannerite.
