Allow me to clarify a few things here. I had asked my submissive to go onto the forums and make a post looking for the torches. I didn't know that she went onto MY collarme account, to make this post, but that's really besides the point. I would first like to say that your criticism is completely unconstructive, and quite frankly, in bad taste. Please refrain from making rude comments. If you can make torches for $1.50, that's fantastic. You can probably sell them for about $22.50... Or, you could share this knowledge with the class so everyone can make torches for $1.50. However, making snarky comments from the sidelines doesn't help. It just makes you look like a jackass.
There are two factors that are keeping me from building the torches myself:
1) There are no local stores that I have found (and I've looked over the years), that sell kevlar wicking. I refuse to use cotton, because I feel that it is not as sturdy as kevlar. OK, so I could buy it online... but that wouldn't cost me much less than if I had bought the torch already made. So what's the point?
2) The quality of workmanship that I could put into making a torch is considerably less than that of someone who has a workshop, and this is what they do for a living. I saw those torches on the site that Alumbrado posted a link to. Those were quite nice. I can't build anything with that kind of craftsmanship. And I was raised that if you're going to do something, you might as well do it right. Therefore, I would prefer to buy them.
So thank you Alumbrado, that site will do nicely. Chellekitty, kindly keep your rude comments to yourself.
Sir Michael
