You can also get a manufacturer's permit from ATF and make your own, not hard to do in non-urban areas, biggest difficulty is building an approved magazine for storage. Many states have affiliated clubs with manufacturer's permits so you can learn how to properly construct display fireworks. Home-made M80's and quarter sticks are a REALLY BAD idea if you value your life and limbs as flash powder is extremely sensitive and prone to detonation...Dave

I always wanted to do that for a living. I'm 36, and have been playing with fireworks since I was 8. My favorites are definitely the shells. One shot tubes are no good, you need the reloads.
The only thing I ever did as far as making fireworks goes, is I designed a trigger and warhead which made the skyrockets I modified explode on impact. They actually worked really well.
