Powder bench

Grind powder at its mill, then press it into bombs. A casing mould opens iron bombs and blast rods.

The powder bench, with its mill on the left and the press lever on the right.

Grind powder

Let charcoal and chitin fall into the mill's hopper and turn the crank. The powder lands on the tray.

Press it

Lay the powder and the other materials on the bench and pull the press lever. Bare, it makes clay bombs. See Bombs and blasting for what they do.

Casing mould

The bench makes a casing mould, and you set it on by hand. It opens the iron bombs and the blast rods.
