We got a private tour of Saint George's Fireworks Factory in Ħal-Qormi, Malta! There are 35 fireworks factories in Malta, which is insane for the small island group, whose population is 519k as of 2021. Each factory only produces products to be used by the nearby villages. None of the product is exported from the country. This specific factory produces fireworks from July through May to be used each June in their feasts. Depending on where you are in Malta, most of the feasts occur between May and September. The feasts celebrate the localities' saint, in this case, Saint George. All materials used in producing the fireworks are sourced from the island, except for ball shell casings. Grape vines are harvested to turn into charcoal, then used to make black powder. Animal feed bags are used for pasting shells. All of the fireworkers in this factory are volunteers. It is common to see sons whose father and grandfather were also fireworkers. Oddly enough, they all may have their own formulas for effects that are not shared with other factories or even inside their own factory! ►Unlock exclusive perks by joining my channel now! ►My Socials: @JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics?sub_confirmation=1 @robinsonpyrotechnics ►Playlists you might enjoy: ►My Equipment: Racks: Brass Awl: Water, Fire Extinguisher: Tape (Best for Pyro): Fuse Cutter: Head Lamp: Measuring Wheel: Angle Locator: Camera: Editing Software: #Fireworks #Pyrotechnics #malta #fireworkfactory
