Abandon all hope 01-11-2006 07:16 PM

My buddys electric razor got a little rusty, and I need a haircut badly, any ideas how to lube it? I swear to god if anyone makes a comment on me saying "lube it" I'm going to be pissed. Oh and secondly, a while back I saw someone "zippered" their sleeves, so that it was a vest/jacket. I was curious how they went about doing so, if anyone cane help me, I'll send you a cookie.

Why the **** do you even post in the diy thread then? :confused:

Liebensaft 01-11-2006 07:29 PM

Well haircuts only cost a few dollars. I'd rather have it look good and pay a few bucks for it than mess it up terribly myself for free.

Unless you have hair all the same length like a buzz cut or something.

Ehh as much as I hate to admit it, I have a mohawk. Not a big fan of trying to get the barbers at the pike place to do it eiether, they always look pissed when I ask for a haircut for $5.

mole 01-11-2006 08:45 PM

why would you hate to admit having a mohawk

Abandon all hope 01-11-2006 09:06 PM

They are frowned upon in these parts, I reckon.

Anarcho Poser 01-11-2006 09:09 PM

Everyone knows mohawks are for poseurs.

I haven't cut my hair in over a year. Not even a trim. And I don't brush it. Or use conditioner. And girls are all jealous of my hair.

people can have mohawks if they want. that is called being a close minded jerk if you say that. and saying that everyone knows something makes you a trendy person. something had to be said

Mohawks are pretty postcard but man.

Ehh, it isn't even worth fighting over. But any help on the zipper sleeves?

_lower_class_brat_ 01-12-2006 11:15 AM

cut the sleeves off and then sew on zippers...but i'm guessing it would be more difficult than that.

You would have to get them lined up perfectly. You'd need to measure and cut in the right places in a very precise line, and then sew the zips on with a sewing machine. What'd be easier is cutting off the sleeves of a cheap shirt, making about five flaps to overlap at the shoulder and sew them onto the sleeves, and then hook them on or take them off with safety pins. I think safety pins are the most important part of DIY punk these days. I never leave the house without a few pins in various sizes. If I was a 30's American gangster, I'd be called Safety Pin.

My 1930's name is Royce Hunter. It's true, a name generator said so. But your sleeve idea, you mean like, after the sleeves are taken off, anf then you sew the cheap shirt sleeve onto to jacket right?

Sure, you could do that. Not sew them onto the jacket, safety pin them on there.

A couple months ago I ran out of my special tea tree shampoo so I washed my hair with conditioner for a few weeks. That didn't really work out very well.

It's piss easy to make.

Lukeh 01-12-2006 12:46 PM

Ooh, got any decent recipies to share? I hate the price of those kind of shampoos...

[QUOTE=Lukeh]Ooh, got any decent recipies to share? I hate the price of those kind of shampoos...[/QUOTE]

I confess I don't actually know how to make it, but I know someone who used to make her own by the bottlefuls. I think it's mostly about cooking tea tree leaves/flowers/buds/whatever in water until it turns into a paste, then mixing in some water for the consistency etc..

Lukeh 01-12-2006 12:53 PM

Oh yeah, that does make sense really. I just got a bit confused 'cos some of the cheaper ones just have loads of chemicals in them too... it's just fruit juice I spose... but.. erm... I won't elaborate on my poor analogy.

Correction: Mohawks that stop at the top of the head are for poseurs. Real 'hawks go to the neck, where the hairline ends. Only dumba[size=2]s[/size]ses have poseur 'hawks.

I've got it!! Pohawks. A term used to describe mohawks that don't go down the back of the head, to the neck.

Anyone know how to make your own buttons?

Buttons? You mean badges? The ones which are usually round and have a slogan or band on them and a safety pin inside to hook onto something? Yeah, those machines cost about 60-100 quid, I looked into it once. Or 30-50 quid for the really shi'tty ones. It's a hell of an investment, if you're going to see it through though. Here, you can sell badges in Camden Town for 50p each, so if you have decent badges you can usually make what you spent within a week or so.

I'm pretty sure that they're called Moheicans (sp?), or at least in England, anyway.... but I may be wrong... Moheicans might only be quite short... Bah, Pohawks will do nicely.

I don't get this thread, it's for people who want to do everything themselves ?
