Nice idea, a shop in the UK with paypal would be great for those harder to come by things in life.

let's keep it on topic here, and not talking about one report of a loud bang ending you up in jail or some shit.
And yes blackpowder is gunpowder

^^Google search for ball mill. It grinds up your ingredients.
In fact:

Is it? Your the moderator, but isn't blackpowder the smokey stuff used in muskets? And gunpowder the modern day smokeless equivalent.

Essentially it is, although I wouldn't listen to a thing Jago says regarding explosives after Wurm took him to school a while back. Textbook "you don't know shit" schooling.

Why bother cooking when you can order a takeaway? Because it's especially satisfying, and leads on to better things.
On top of that, a lot of members here will be U-18.
And on top of that, you can't buy gunpowder outside the US, or some places in the US.
If you can't buy a ball mill, I think you can use a coffee grinder. It'd be expensive, I imagine, but you should be able to get it in any local supermarket. Just say it's a christmas present for mommy and daddy.

Charcoal dust I'd say. It's a finer powder, so it has a greater surface area and should burn faster.
So you have to grind the charcoal? If you do, it's save you having to do that too.

What is the ~ overall cost of construction?
What is the blast like with something like this? How much would get me a three foot blast?
What is ignition like. I would imagine it exploded when exposed to flame, or other fuse like material, but it's good to make sure.

Blackpowder doesn't explode by itself, it deflagrates, which means it burns pretty quickly and releases a lot of gas. It you need to confine it; like in film a film canister or CO2 cartridge (which I don't recommend but most people do it anyway). Then when it ignites the rapid release of gas causes the canister to explode.
A "three foot blast" doesn't really mean anything. What specifically do you want to do with the BP?
The overall cost depends on whether you want to buy the coffee grinder and the like. The quality of the materials plays a part too.

My list of uses is rather long for said explosive. Mainly it's to make small objects explode. I do not intend to harm others or something dangerous, that's why I am looking for such a small damage zone. I want a circle of fire which is from edge to edge is ~ three feet in diameter.
Does quality of materials really matter as far stability or dependency of the explosive?

The "circle of fire" is a Hollywood thing. In reality, an explosion is an expansion of gas, not a massive fireball. I'd recommend filling a film canister.
Quality of materials won't affect the stability or reliability of BP (unless you try to make them yourself and get it wrong, in which case it just won't work), but for a higher yield, it'd be better to buy it ground up from United Nuclear than dig a charcoal pit in your back garden.
