Woohoo!!



Durbs, thank you so much for sending me the DVD... there are so many brilliant things on it... your funky CJ video and the liquid lessons are splendid... and who are the great juggling peoples at the EJC?



The Falmouth video is fantastic, twas great to be reminded of a marvellous weekend... though am not sure about that silly person prancing about at the end



And sorry to be totally ignorant, but who is the incredibly talented Tim? Does he go under some other identity? Because he is excellent.



Anyways... thanks Durbs... tis really very appreciated... now my non-spinning friends can see what I get up to at these fire gathering m'larkies



love and hugs

Hahahaha. Wow. Sorry to keep you guys waiting

I'm sure I posted somewhere else about how to make them... as yer man strugz says, they're really simple...

Hold on a sec and I'll go find the post

Take care peoples

Here we go:



Take a strip of electrician's tape (flat, bendy metal strip, coated in a tough black plastic with holes in the middle). It's otherwise known as perforated tape. (About £8 for lots). You can buy it at an electrician's store.



Bend it round the main part of your hand (not including thumb) so that it fits without sliding or moving.



Then take a piece of stiff wire (about coat hanger thickness) and twist one end through a hole in the strip... it should look like it's pointing out between 15/18 cms from the palm of your hand.



You will need to secure that wire to the metal strip to stop it wobbling about - if you have access to welding equipment, use that... otherwise, secure it with tough gaffa tape.



Take a small piece of kevlar and wrap it a centimetre or two below the pointy end of the coathanger wire. Secure the kevlar in place with very thin wire (like chicken wire?!).



Fold the remaining coathanger wire back down onto the kevlar for added security.



Dont be too enthusiastic about the amount of kevlar you use... if you use too much, the flame will be too big and hot and will burn your hands (then you'll have to take the whole thing apart and redo it).



There's only a few centimetres of 2 inch wide wick on my firehands and they burn nicely and for a long time.



Repeat the whole process for your other hand and you have a set of firehands



It's also important to get some kevlar gloves.

Faberge kindly gave me a pair she had, but you can buy them in some shops. This keeps the heat down and makes it easier to form that 'ball' effect, without burning your top hand.



I'm still not really sure what to do with them - so I resort to just waving them about a bit. People who can move funkily, like Durbs, can make them look great



Just be careful, have fun and teach me all the new stuff!



And just so you know, the guy who gave me the idea for these sadly died recently... so spread the idea on - it'll be something to keep the memory of the man I knew alive.



Take care... and sorry if the explanation is a bit crap

What would you like? And where will I see you?

I could be even less helpful, but then I think I'd lose my charm

Or you could be slightly more helpful, and you'd actually get your balls
