Well, shucks.  If the recipe is not out there on the net somewhere
I'd be REALLY surprised....   Yup - google found about 3,940
answers to 'how to make thermite'.

(Reminds me of the times when I hear of someone whining about some
kid in high school finding out how to make an explosive or something.
Shoot - if a student in chemistry cannot figure out at LEAST 10
different ways to blow something up then they should fail chem!
Ah, but I digress....)
