Black powder is sulfur, potassium nitrate, and carbon.
There's a bunch of other processes and refinement, but I've seen some cheap but not speedy, small scale production methods that produce a high quality powder in whichever grade you wish, from priming a flintlock pan to massive grains you could use in fireworks.
Don't forget, all you need to make gunpowder is dirt and wood ash
Please tell me more.

gun cotton/nitrocellulose is also fairly easy to make at home. I would like to take this opportunity to say "hi" to the agents assigned to me.
