Fire Dancing Cane

2008-08-02T00:44:01Z

I was on a website the other day and I saw a fire version of a dancing cane.
I have already cleared my history in my browser and I can't find the website again.

Anyone know of the website that makes and sells these?

Name That tool contest

2008-07-06T17:41:39Z

Bearclaw Mfg. has invented a new tool, but we don't know what to name it:
http://www.bearclawmfg.com/ci_gallery10.html
It started as a way to solve the problems with an all-kevlar meteor. But we found that this 7' wonderfully simple device is almost a complete show in one tool: you can do torch moves, staff moves, poi moves, chain whip, and some rope dart moves. The soft kevlar rope that connects the torches isn't meant to be lit on fire, but you could do that, too, if you felt the need.

Go to our site and send us a letter and tell us what you think it should be called. Send as many as you like, we'll pick the best name at the end of July 2008. Winner gets the one in the picture, free.

fire wand

2007-07-27T16:45:36Z

iv never posted before, but now iv finally got a question. flowtoys put out something called a flow-wand. i saw it a transformus and it looks like its floating in midair. i also saw one on youtube that had the tip on fire, and was wondering if anyone knew where to find a fire wand, not just an illuminated one. i might just have to make it....

Umbrella

2007-06-29T03:36:45Z

I know It's been tried before but with any luck I'm going to either hook up a thrift store umbrella or rig an umbrella structure later this week and give it a whirl. I've seen people place wick sticking out from the joints, I'm hoping to use my excess 1/4" wick and wrap the actual structure. The flames should be pretty small and not long very lasting but show the shape of the umbrella in fire.

If it works I'll try it again at some point with a heftier structure and thicker wick to get some better flames.

Anyone have experience with fire umbrellas and parasols?

Fire structures

2007-05-12T01:28:49Z

Despite the fact that rotating playground rides make me ill, pinwheels, windmills and centrifuges keep on popping up in my minds eye. I've also noticed a subconcious affinity towards geometric structures like cubes, pyramids and geodesic spheres.

Does anyone have any beginner hints for working with ball bearing for dynamic structures?

Hello there

2007-01-09T15:53:37Z

    I thought I should introduce myself to this tribe, I am PyroCelt, and I have been interested in fire and the making of toys for some time. This is partially because I grew up a craftsman and carpenter, and partially because I come from simple means and could not afford many of the wonderful toys on the market. I make all of my own unoriginal toys like poi and staff, and some original ones like Giant Poi (I will post pictures sometime), Folding Fire Fans (based off an idea I discussed with MtBeer in Charlotte, I think he saw them somewhere though I never laid hands on a set before making them myself), and more recently the Flaming Bagpipes. These are simply propane rigged up the back of my drones with the fire burning out of 1/4 inch copper tubes. Since it sounds like a few people here play with welding etc, I may ask for advice getting some sort of torch, nozzle, end, something to make the propane fire burning off the copper tube both shoot in a direction and not go out when it gets windy.
    Cheers,
    PyroCelt

Saw Blade of death

2006-12-25T01:25:32Z

I recently scored an old band saw blade that is a about 4 feet in diameter. Thinking of wrapping this in kevlar and then rolling it up dipping it and tying with a string. When the string buurns the blade pops out (kabloom) and is now a circle of fire on the ground that I can do my juggling act in. Any suggestions?
