xamax1 member Registered: 24/11/01 Loc: philly PA	Hey, I'm sure there's probably a more appropriate place for me to post this question, but i'm kinda tired and don't have the energy or patience to search for it, so sorry. Anyway, recently i'd been practicing/teaching myself a bunch of types of wrist wraps, and i've become quite fond of them. Tonight i tried them w/ the first time w/ fire, forgeting how hot the chains get. Are there any suggestions people have for arm protection of any sort? any place i good buy somethin cheap? how to make somethin? thanks, max _________________________ takitizy

Your arms will still be able to move, but it should give you some protection. R. _________________________ It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.

No idea how to find or make them. ------------------ -M@TT Keep the fire burning. _________________________ -M@TT Keep the fire burning.

The Welcome Matt member Registered: 27/11/01 Loc: Manchester NH USA	yeah.. also have you ever seen those fore-arm guards that archers where? There are fairly cheap and made out of hard leather.. i bet you could find other material too. If you modify them a but you could prob have some pretty fancy wrist protection. Good luck PS- I think this should be in the tech discussion?

shizN0T member Registered: 18/07/01 Loc: Stroudsburg, PA, USA	Im not too big into wraps, and havent actually tried them with fire. but I have seen many people do bareskin wraps. maybe you could use smaller wicks. a fuel that burns at a lower temp. It just seems silly to me, to wear all kind of protecting gear when so many people dont have the need for it. Did you actually get burned, or was it uncomfortable? did you throw one or two wraps into a session, or did you have a session of wraps? point for good measure. _________________________ I smell something burning.
