Playing with fire

[fireun]

Well, the old fire fans are bent, and need a new wick (something about being battered around a flood and then soaking in it) and are a bit heavy for anything but occasional use (for my silly fibro hands)...

Happy birthday to me?

I had been meaning to replace the wick and see if I could get the spokes of the old fans straightened, but this will happily work in the meantime, and will probably make me happier as I learn more complicated moves. 

I also may have been speaking with libwitch about attending Free Spirit Gathering this summer.It makes me want to spin fire something awful.

Also, one day, and soon, these will be mine. Oh, I want them something awful.

These are the fans, next to a trade paperback for size reference.

The damage is on the top outside of one of the fans. It isn't major, but it is just enough to bother me. Damaged and undamaged side by side-

They were bashed around in the living room when it flooded, so I am actually impressed this is all the damage they took, considering.

They definitely look fixable. It looks like coated steel....or is it uncoated and the light is throwing me off?

Are they heavy? Is it something you can ship to me? (You'd probably have to clip the wick out...but it sounds like you were going to replace them anyway. I don't think they'll ship that XD) The one fan should be fine. The bend doesn't look too bad that I'd need to use the other fan as a guide to bending it back.

Jus' lemme know.
