Glycerin is HOCH2-CHOH-CH2OH. It is commercially available - you can probably buy it bulk from online. It is not worth making yourself (but can be synthesized via the saponification of lipids). Are you asking if you can make nitroglycerin at home (which can be made from glycerin)? Nitroglyercin is EXTREMELY explosive. It is shock sensitive, which means that simply bumping it with your hand can cause it to explode. It is also heat sensitive (heat causes it to explode) and the process of making it is exothermic (heat releasing), so the very process of making it can cause it to explode. You should NEVER EVER EVER attempt to make nitroglyercin at home.
