When I was a kid we made Serpentine, dry mix, or wet mix to make Black Powder. We only made small amounts and had to stop when we nearly burned down my Daddy's garage. It left a lot of residue dry. We. did try to make fireworks and it worked ok. With the right gear and common sense it can't be to hard.
I understand that in the early part of the American Revolution the shortage was the Salt Peter. The shortage was met by boiling urine. Later the French supplied most of the BP we needed.
