[QUOTE=robenshtein][U]Interesting Fact about Stefan:[/U] I have splinter on the bottom of my left foot and Its been there since I was little.[/QUOTE]

I've got a bunch of little ones like that. They've been in there for a month and I tried to pull them out the other day with some tweezers and I ended up just pulling off some skin and bleeding all over.

I also still have a little rock in my knee from bike riding last summer

Flagjacket 07-21-2005 09:29 AM

We were pulling a wagon with a bike one summer and one kid's legs got caught under the wheel of the wagon and his knee got dragged across 20 meters of concrete. Then his kneecap fell out cause all the skin got ground off, and we had to pick it up and put it in a bag.

User Name 07-21-2005 09:30 AM

i woulda kept it

Flagjacket 07-21-2005 09:32 AM

And given him a turtle shell or part of a hubcap for a new kneecap. ****, I wish I had thought of that then.

Shtein 07-21-2005 10:11 AM

Twat_Out_Of_Hell 07-21-2005 10:15 AM

Cheeser, no it's useless

i pierced my ear a couple hours ago with a safety pin. i tried getting the earing in, but i ended up digging in to a new one and pulling it out.
im gonna try pushing the earring in again, any suggestions?

i dont know what you mean

AIRIC 07-21-2005 09:30 PM

pierce your ear with the earing.

use a large safety pin (thicker than the ring), leave the pin in for a while, and then swap them out real quick.

Rise Me Up 07-21-2005 09:52 PM

how safe is it to pierce your ear with a safety pin?

cheeser_1 07-21-2005 09:58 PM

[QUOTE=chairman_of_the_board]how safe is it to pierce your ear with a safety pin?[/QUOTE]
if you clean it first and then wash the thing once you've done it a couple times a day for the next couple days, it's not bad. ears (lobes, that is) are simple to pierce and don't really offer any problems as far as i know. cartiledge is a bit more of an issue, because you ideally want to use something that punches a hole out of the cartiledge (it can be done, but it's a bit of work to push through if you're squeemish, and it may get infected more easily).

RudeBoyStompin 07-22-2005 03:14 PM

I've never really understood why anyone would ever want piercings.

Rise Me Up 07-22-2005 03:25 PM

I just got done with mine and it hurts like hell.

Where can you buy iron-on transfer paper? Do they have it at most stores or do you have to search around for it?

How else would it transfer?

Forest_Fire 07-23-2005 05:25 PM

I finally finished my first BOTAR stencil. I think one of the wings turned out well, and the other was... kind of good. I'll probably end up flipping the stencil around and using the same wing twice.

I have yet to make a stencil for the words. The front is going to have the guitar and "B.O.T.A.R.", and the back will have "THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE AMPLIFIED"

Shtein 07-23-2005 05:29 PM

what did you make your stencil out of?

Forest_Fire 07-23-2005 05:30 PM

Cardboard. It's my first stencil ever and I didn't know any better. I'll be using something else next time

Shtein 07-23-2005 05:32 PM

See I wanna do a stencil for the 2-tone gangster on the Specials cover but im not sure how id do that?

asdf 07-23-2005 05:34 PM

[QUOTE=robenshtein]See I wanna do a stencil for the 2-tone gangster on the Specials cover but im not sure how id do that?[/QUOTE]
You just get some really thick paper material, draw on, or print out a picture and glue on the image you want to be a stencil. Use an x-acto knife to cut out.

Shtein 07-23-2005 05:36 PM

I never made a shirt and i want to so I got a question. So once I cut out the stencil what do I use for colour, paint, markers...?

Anxious 07-23-2005 05:42 PM

Fabric Paint.

asdf 07-23-2005 05:43 PM

[QUOTE=Anxious Mo-Fo]Fabric Paint.[/QUOTE]
Definitely your best bet.

Anxious 07-23-2005 05:44 PM

I tried to make a sonic youth shirt once using the stencil method. The picture ended up looking nothing like the stencil.

Shtein 07-23-2005 05:44 PM

Can somebody give me a price range in Canadian if you could?

asdf 07-23-2005 05:47 PM

[QUOTE=Anxious Mo-Fo]I tried to make a sonic youth shirt once using the stencil method. The picture ended up looking nothing like the stencil.[/QUOTE]
It takes practice. Start with simple logos.

Shtein 07-23-2005 05:51 PM

[QUOTE=robenshtein]Can somebody give me a price range in Canadian if you could?[/QUOTE]
Anybody?

Anxious 07-23-2005 05:52 PM

For fabric paint in the u.s. it cost me about 1.50 for a bottle. Work conversion magic.

Shtein 07-23-2005 05:53 PM

ok, that pretty cheap

Anxious 07-23-2005 05:57 PM

Yeah it is. Pick up 3 diffrent colours, see which ones you like. I reccomend doing it on a practice shirt first so you dont waste a good shirt if you **** up.

Shtein 07-23-2005 06:08 PM

What do you mean 3 different colours. I only need 1 or 2

Anxious 07-23-2005 06:11 PM

[QUOTE=robenshtein]What do you mean 3 different colours. I only need 1 or 2[/QUOTE]
That'll do then.

Shtein 07-23-2005 06:15 PM

were you the one that make the black flag T-shirt and posted a picture of it?
