This is a list of beginner projects/pages; If you wanna know where to start or for what materials to watch out first, this is a good source of information.

To those of you who add topics: Please only add chemicals/topics with a high relevance and a good safety reputation. Please consider which kind of things a beginner will need to know/acquire at the very beginning of his/her career. While he will have to get some basic chemicals and will have to build some basic tooling like screens, other topics like candy propellants are nice, but probably not the deal for a newb.
