Making my firestaff :D
Posted November 19, 2009 by JKybett
I'm making my own firestaff :D
So far I have everything I need except a saw and a drill. I've got:
  • A broom handle for the main staff (110cm long)
  • Some wood to support the inside at the ends where I'll be attaching the kevlar wicks (otherwise it'll cave in. Don't worry it shouldn't set alight... in theory)
  • M5 bolts to hold the wicks in place
  • A grip made by putting electrical tape around the middle of the staff. Tongue
  • And, of course, some kelvar wick. I've got a metre of 25mm from Oddballs.

I need the saw to cut the wood to the right size and the drill to make the holes for the bolts to go through and hold the kevlar in place. It looks like I'll be able to get four wicks out of a metre, too so I may even make this double wick'd :D Anyone think I'm missing something? Please comment, although I'm sure I'd find out soon enough Tongue

If I can get some paraffin off a mate of mine I should first-light on Tuesday at a youth club (NOT inside, I'm going to do it in the field next to it), I've already got the okay and my mates want to see me try it out.

Birth of firefreaks.co.uk
Posted May 30, 2009 by administrator

FireFreaks.co.uk was born in the early hours of the morning sitting on a beach at Cornish coast, sitting around a fire and messing with fire staffs waiting for dawn to break. It instantly became the number one social network site on the Internet for Fire staff, Fire and Poi people around the world.
