ghetto juggling clubs

google for newspaper juggling clubs instructions. nevermind i did it for
you:

'here' (http://www.yoyoguy.com/info/newspaper/)
'or here' (http://home.hvc.rr.com/humdinger/newspaperclubs/)
'or here ' (http://hem.passagen.se/vete/make.html)

they're all slightly different, so take a look. i've used some of those
kinds of homemade clubs and they're alright for learning but after a few
weeks of drops you'll want some real clubs. these things also don't hold
up to passing well at all.

I learned to juggle clubs on newspaper clubs... they work well (Much
better balance than a stick). And as a benefit (major for me) they don't
hurt when you get hit with them.

They are surprisingly more durable than you might think. Took me a few
hours to make three of them (I used the ones from crazy tie guy's
webpage... http://www.crazytieguy.com/clubs.htm). Spend some time to
make them nice, and you'll get plenty of use out of them.

Good luck

I appologize for that link not working... I just copied it off the hard
copy that I printed out to make the clubs (A couple years ago). Maybe if
you're really interested, you can get me to scan them back in for you.

If you want to go cheap and fast, go to a dollar store and buy three
short-handled plungers. They are suprisingly well-balanced.

i steer people away from plungers usually. i find the weight a litle
concentrated at the end. good clubs have it spread a little more evenly
along the latter 1/4 of the club. making your own is a cheap and easy
alternative. once you learn, i strongly suggest renegades, but its a
personal preference. but i had some live through a cross country bike
trip with some wear and tear but still looked good after 4300 miles.

Never tried to juggle with clubs... so I made 3 newspaper clubs this
week in school. I loaded the tips with red acrylic paint and will wrap
the handles in black hockey tape tomorrow. They are much sweet.

I'll be sure to post pictures once they are finished.

I know the thread is for hommade clubs, but I'd like to put in a plug
for Dube Airflites...around here, we refer to them as 'military grade'
juggling gear. Unlike most unibodies, they are very difficult to warp
with normal use, and can withstand some pretty severe abuse. They're
fairly inexpensive as far as clubs go (if you can find 'em used they're
usually really cheap) and the only real downside I've found is that they
pack a knockout punch if you blink and miss during a passing pattern.

I am trying to start juggling with clubs, and it, i must say, is going
pretty good (and i now can idle with right foot down more than 30 times,
wonder where this is going!), and since, i'm in a small group of people,
who has fireshows, with poi
[image: http://www.eldsjal.org/images/galleryImages/2918.jpg]
firebreathing and one girl is doing devilstick.

And NOW, i'm starting to plan making my own fire-jugglig clubs, it
shouldnt be too hard, i think.
What i need is three wodden handles, some steel pipe 15mm in diameter,
and some kevlar-fabric, and some blots and glew of course.
My grandfather is a carpenter with his own workshop, he could lathen
(how they make a wodden baseballbat) the three handles, my dad could get
some pipes, and mu uncle could get some kevlar-fabric for me.

But how should they look? How should the handle look to get some nice
balance? The vire shouldnt be in the center of gravity.
Is this doable at all?
And yes, i will learn to juggle properly before i start playing with
fire.

Edit:
If you have problems visualising this. take a look at 'THIS!'

Its doable, I wouldnt use steel pipe, just some sheet metal around a
dowl rod should do it as the fuel is what is burning not the wood, you
just need to shield the wood from catching on fire.

Also I have found having a taper on the club body that stops, as the one
pictured, helps shield your hand from the flames when the club is
inverted. This is usefull if your using hotter burning fule like colman
camping fuel, or whitegas.

Attached I measured one of my renegades, hopefully it will give you a
better idea on porportions.

Goodluck

I don't do the firebreathing part, and i'm not planing to.

And, i have tried poi on the uni, but not with fire, i need to learn to
stay idle (and then to poi at the same time, and then make it look good,
and then do it with fire). I started to wobble alot, but i think it's
doable. The thing with poi is that you move around alot, allmost dance,
so i need some practise!

i'll take a look on those blueprints, or drawings, construction manuals,
or whatever it is called. 🙂
