Ok then...one more push and, yep, there he goes! Right over the edge...

POST AT LEAST ONE GRAB!!! Please... (see, I'm asking nicely now) :)
 
Give us the damn torch grab Shawn .... or we're gonna get some torches and head up your way (angry village crowd murmurring in the background).

This coming from the group that refuses to give us any screen grabs... ???

However, I do agree that you should put up a grab, Shawn!
 
Oh yeah! I forgot I was going to post a how-to this weekend. I'll do that Sunday afternoon, because I have to clear the extra torch sticks out of my apartment anyway.

Shawn didn't even post the wicked cool shot that follows that one. It's even better, methinks. :tongue:

Of course I didn't post the truly cool shot :-)

Btw, save at least one of the torches so we can get a quality torch sound for Herman!
 
Torch How-to

Torch How-to

Okay, the moment you've all been waiting for... how to make a torch!

Step 1

These are the supplies you'll need:

1) Old, worn out t-shirt; 2) Tiki torch fuel (Home Depot); 3) Staple gun; 4) Scissors; 5) Hefty stick; 6) Bottle of water

*Note: For the young kids reading this, be sure to use safety scissors!


Step 2

Cut out strips from the bottom of your t-shirt, like so:

Then cut the ring so you have one long strip, like so:

Step 3

Staple one end of a strip to the stick, like so:

Step 4

Wrap the strip around the head of the stick until you get to the end. Staple the end of the strip to the stick, so it stays there. You don't want that strip flying off when it's on fire! To get through all that fabric, I recommend at least 1/2" staples, but 9/16" are preferred. Press against the fabric hard to make sure you get a good staple. I put about 3-4 staples in to make sure it stays fastened.

Step 5

Pour that water into a bowl and set it outside, wherever you're lighting your torch. This bowl of water is to douse your torch once you're done. Cut the water bottle in half and fill the bottom up with tiki torch fuel, like so:

Then soak the end of the torch in the bottle for a few minutes, like so:

Step 6

Remove the torch from soaking and squeeze out any excess fuel. Just be sure not to get any on you! This is fuel... don't let it drip or spill where you don't want fire.


Step 7

Fire up your favorite Zippo or Bic lighter, like so:

Step 8

Light your torch and be careful! The flame takes a couple seconds to pick up, but once it does... it does!

There you have it! Enjoy and please stay safe. I take no responsibility for any stupidity. :P

(now off to light the Alaco building on fire)
