@barefootfire27

What type of fire poi do you use?

[barefootfire27]

@mvemjsuNeptune I make my own poi using a monkey fist knot.

I will be offering a one week fire dancing retreat in Costa Rica, April 2-9 2011 for fire dancers interested in taking their art to the next level. More info here on my website.

Thank you. I'll pass it on. :)

@CherryLunar Please see the description below re: how to make fire swords

[barefootfire27]

@ruvidan ...step 4- add your weight to the hilt until the balance is where you want it. Step 5- add grip (tennis grip works great for swords).

Other considerations: leave a little gap between your wick and the flame guard (about 5cm) so it doesn't heat up or burn up. You will also need a titanium drill bit to get through your tube (under $5 in the US at local hardware stores) and of course a rivet gun if you are using rivets. I use between 8-9 ft of 2" tape for my wick per sword. ; )

@ruvidan ...using an epoxy. Another way is to epoxy in a bolt which will jut out past the end of your tube and add large washers to that with a nut on the end. This will add length to your sword, so keep that in mind. I like the balance of my sword to rest just between my thumb and index finger. So step one- decide your length. Step two- add your wick. Step 3 add a flame guard at the base of the wick (use thick saddle leather or a metal sanding wheel), then...

[barefootfire27]

@ruvidan Then you've got to add in the length of your handle. If you do hand wraps you will have an idea of how long of a handle you need (for me its 20cm). If you don't do hand wraps the extra length is not necessary. At the hilt of your sword, I recommend adding a weight in order to counter balance the weight of the soaked wick- so think about how you are going to attach this weight when choosing the length of your tube. One easy way is to use a lead fishing weight and to attach it...
