Instructions

See attached sheet.

In terms of safety, recommended that you use age restrictions around the firing element. Also gloves and goggles are a must, have water on standby, and earmuffs could be a good idea.

A large open field is also a must, but the building of the mortars is perhaps better indoors due to sturdier work surfaces.
