I'm organising a DIY hardcore punk show in the basement of this really posh wine bar in my town. This place is gonna get destroyed.

Haha, sounds awesome.

Let me know what you think.

Awesome stuff, the paint is really clear and well defined on all of those.

Those are really well done Aaron.

Thanks Ethan and Nick.

I did the exact same Specials one only white on black.

I'm doing that Specials one pretty soon.

Among the shirts, i'll go with Operation Ivy.
Among the patches, i'll go with Unseen.

But The Business patch is quite nice too...

Keep Up the Good Work!

Does anyone know a cheap/DIY way of dieing your hair bleach blonde?. Or in my case the middle..mohawk. It's ginger right now cos I ****ed it up.

[QUOTE=yourstruly]Does anyone know a cheap/DIY way of dieing your hair bleach blonde?. Or in my case the middle..mohawk. It's ginger right now cos I ****ed it up.[/QUOTE]

The cheapest way I can think of is stealing the bleach, or getting it done at a hairdresser's and then running away before you pay/threaten the hairdresser. I don't see why you need bleach, ginger is cool. Just ask Nick.

Why would you even recommend that?

There will be drugs++ when I move out.

[QUOTE=Skrunnch]Why would you even recommend that?[/QUOTE]

I didn't recommend it, I was just saying that it's the cheapest way I could think of.

So, I made the Free Palestine shirt today. It's the most horrendous flop I'll ever have the disprivilege of making. I am hoping it will look better when it's sprayed.

is there a diffrence between painting on real leather and the fake stuff, im tryin my first DIY thing so im tryin blitzkrieg bop on a wallet of mine. its the easyest thing i can think of. also i cant remember wot paint to use, i think it was acrylic and something else but i cant remeber it if there were any other parts. thanks

[QUOTE=Led-ZeppelinIV]There will be drugs++ when I move out.[/QUOTE]

Wait, is this the DIY thread?

That was irrelivant, talk about drugs in the community thread.

That took me thirty seconds to fix.

Now, what you are looking for is to mix that acrylic paint with bleach, ie. 3 spoonfuls of bleach and 1 spoonful of acrylic paint. Says my screen-printing friend, I don't do leather. Or wear it.

Sorry, there was some talk of drugs earlier.

Here's the bikes so far that I'm using for my tall bike:

The Schwinn Frame, and the really sh[I]i[/I]tty banana seat bike:

The bike I just garbage picked today (it was being junked by a bicycle repair shop) :

I also took pictures of all the rest of the bikes in my household, but they have little to do with DIY (although a few were garbage picked and many self-repaired) so I wont post pictures of my nice collection.

Haha, that banana seat is hella cool! :thumb:

who wants to help me put together a makeshift stand up bass???

i have 1/2 keg i really want to use to be the body... but that’s all i got.

i'm stumped on what i should use for a neck?
on how i should put the neck into the keg- though the Tap hole(after i knock it out)? or just on top?
what kind of strings- i think some heavy cords or weed whacker cords will do.

should i get some holes in my keg for sound?

i can't find anything on the net for this stuff. thanks in advance

edit: i think i will go with a board though the handles, and put up my neck that way

Not sure man, I just bought my stand-up. Cost me a thousand bucks, but I work for the man (bank) so it's no problem for me. Rich punx unite.

My family own's a stand up. It cost us about 100-200 dollars. One day a friend of ours looked on his front porch, and there was this upright bass just... there. He lives in a really tiny house, so he couldn't keep it there, so he dropped it off at our house, and soon after said we could have it. It was pretty damaged (back falling off, new bridge needed...) so we got it repaired.

It's a pretty kickass thing to just find.

Whoah, that thing is the sex. I've got a black + white one. And I intend to get it pinstriped by a friend of a friend. Definatly gonna get her name written onto her (she's called Faye, after my ex fiance)

are you actually serious ??

the only way i see this working is if you have very stong knowledge off accoustics and can build things really well. if you have then fair play but if not i hope your not making it seriously.

to asdf thats sweet

If I were you, I'd make it like a gut-bass. Have a flexible pole in the keg-hole, big gauge wire tied onto one of the carry-handles. Pluck that mother and bend the pole for your notes. Redneck credability to the max. Ted Nugent will be shootin' down your door in no time.

have you tried to make one?? didn't think so. its called trial an error, if it works, it will be sweet, if it doesn't ,then i guess i'm an idiot for trying

Good luck, but I don't see it working.

should i not use the keg?
i've seen basses out of gas tanks and whatnot.

i attempted to make walnut-butter figuring it would be simmular to almond-butter witch is simmular to peanut-butter.. but its not.. its nasty
