Steel wool. Add a 9 volt battery and a wire clothes hanger.

The display is disproportionately more exciting than the basic ingredients required. Go forth with caution and light up the sky safely!

Excuse my ignorance... But I can't get the video to play. I click the "play" button (duh...), and nothing happens. It doesn't say buffering or anything. It just has some buttons on the side (Info, add-ons, scenes, links, related...). How do I get it to play?
I click the "5min" button at the top left corner of the video, and it brings me to the website it's hosted on, but it still won't play. All the other videos on here work (as long as they aren't uploaded to the 5min website). How to fix?

Mojobo1, I suggest checking if your flashplayer is updated on your computer. If it is already, well then, you need to check your computer out.

If you want to know which type of grade wool, I think it is normal cheap steel wool. I have done some research, and mostly in UK they provide course grade steel wool which are 5 and 6. So, I am guessing regular would go well, which can be possibly found at your local hardware store.
