/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Pffft.

You hipsters and your labcoats.

Real /diy/hards wear flannel, suspenders, and work in a dilapidated shed.

fuck off back to /cgl/ kid

>>3171
i personal wear odd dress clothing with swerly patterns and flower print that looks like is came out of the late 70's for my evil villian atirer but i want to make a full on coat and other fun things like taser gloves or pain ray ( both that i am trying to work on)

http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Horrible-Lab-Coat-Project/ this might be helpful, not really a style I'd want a labcoat in, but never know what op likes.

>>3213
hey now, making your own clothing is /diy/ too

>>3251
no it isnt. you have a whole board dedicated to making clothes, /cgl/.

dont infest this board with your shit

>>3288
CGL has no interest in helping me and this is a DIY project.
hell i'm even working on doing a "steam punk" mod to my nerf vulcan gun

>>3326
what the fuck are you talking about kid, the whole board is dedicated to making costumes.

have you been there? take your stupid thread there and stop filling this board with cancer

>>3326

>>3341

>>3343
dude, chill out.

>>3343
i'm saying that i am....DOING IT MYSELF (DIY)
and the diy thread here is to help me and ANY others that would like to make diy projects, am i wrong and if i am wrong tell me clearly what i am wrong on and why.

>>3376
>>3326
how about you take your costume making thread to the costume making board?

you dont see weapons threads on /an/ do you now, kid?
have you been there? take your stupid thread there and stop filling this board with cancer>>3381

>>3135
Fucking love it.

>>3192
Where's the Couvre Corner?

>>3326
>>3381

Are you upset that nobody on one of the slowest boards on 4chan replied to your post within ten whole minutes?

>>3417
no

why do you feel the need to make off topic threads on a board dedicated to handy men when you have a board dedicated to making costumes already?

are you honestly that thick?

i am asking if anyone has any tutorials on how to make a lab coat or wire lights together of a nerf gun ( nerf vulcan) i have loads of l.e.d.s and a fair amout of free time

>>3417
am i mad? not at all...maybe a little, hell lets go the whole way.


>>3421
nice, i like it

Take a look at burning man costume tutorials. That kind of costume is really common at BM, especially lighted ones.

>>3445
Go to >>>/cgl/

This is not for making costumes. Seriously, there is a whole board dedicated to it. Stop posting this off topic garbage.

>>3458
>>>/cgl/5093123
been ther done that and NOW i'm asking out how to wire lights (i've been looking around for a tutorial on how to get spinging light LED'S in a globe but have been failing so i come to you for help)

>>3483
now your being an attention whore. if you dont even know how make a simple circut you should use google.

so take this thread to /cgl/ and fuck off

diy includes

fixing things,
building things,
creating things,
arts,
crafts,
gardening,
landscaping,
self sufficiency projects,
and many more things.

You better broaden your narrow little "off topic" list, because you're just embarassing yourself.

>>3499
so where did moot say that?

if there is a board already dedicated to a single topic, you post it there.

just because you hunt animals, doesnt mean you make hunting threads on /an/

so how about you go away and post this on /cgl/

>>3126
>i'm looking for tutorials on how to make a mad scientist lab coat

If you didn't change your mind every ten seconds, maybe someone would have a chance to help you.

>>3518
he is being an attention whore, dont bother with this kid

/cgl/ - "Pictures depicting those in costume play (cosplay) and elegant gothic lolita (EGL).".
The board rules>>3458
>>3431
>>3394
>>3343
>>3288
>>3213
says nothing about costume making. This thread is /diy/.

>>3530
are you fucking stupid?

the board is dedicated to costumes, from wearing them to making them

seriously kid, shut it and fuck off.

>>3499
alright

i am trying to build 2 things

1.lab coat

2. lazer gun prop

with the lab coat i cant find a good tutorial ANYWARE and i dont know much about PROPER wireing and i would like to make some flashy spining lights and pulseing leds

>>3518
i'm all encumpesing

>>3556
>>3556
www.google.com

learn the basics of wiring before you become an attention whore, kid

now fuck off

>>3530
OP himself made a thread on /cgl/ before coming here. Even he knows that's where this belongs.
>>>/cgl/5093123

But nobody responded there because /cgl/ is always slow as shit, and most cosplayers are so excited about /diy/ opening so there's pretty much nobody but lolitas there at the moment.
(Also he had no manners and didn't post anything useful, but ettiquitte wouldn't have done him much good anyway)

>>3582
"learn the basics of wiring before you become an attention whore, kid

now fuck off"


if you do not wish to help then do not post.

i have come to this thread for 3 reasons

1.you are a new thread and what you do here and now as a thread will be how 4CHAN see's you forever more

2. i have googled but have had little luck

3. after learning of this new board i had hoped i could get some near one on one help or someone might had try'd what i am doing and offer up some addvice


i'm not a attention whore ( i'm not here for your attention) i'm just looking for help

>>3585
he made that thread after i told him to take it to /cgl/

it being slow is no excuse to make off topic threads and expect help.

>>3634
if you dont know how to make a simple LED circuit, you are either retarded or making shit up for attention.

how about you do some research on simple LED circuitry before you spread your cancer, now fuck off

>>3634
>you are a new thread

Really?

>>3660
why not just be helpful? if you actually know that is.

>>3660

I don't think so Jim.

>>3681
why would i help someone making an off topic post when all he has to do is do a quick google search on what he wants. he is being an attention whore faggot.

>>3698
whatever kid, now fuck off

>come to thread expecting madman diy experiments
>how do I sew coat?

My best guess, OP, is indeed to ask on cgl or do a search on cosplay.com as they are more fit to help you.

>>3545
Why so hostile?

>>3585
You are a pleasant poster and I now see the error of my previous post.

>>3660
cheek the time stamp on my cgl post and you will see i made it 6:01 and this thread on 6:20


you are ether unable to help or unwilling
if you are unable then you would not post but if
you are unwilling then you are being unhelpful and continued posting helps no one

>>3714
you're trying for head troll of the new board aren't you? why not take up a trip to complete the journey?

>>3743
ok nice one kid, i dont give a fuck.

i could tell you everything you want to know, but i wont.

because you are a faggot little attention whore

do some googling already, kid

Not to hijack this thread, but I've been a /cgl/ regular and I've been emailing moot for about a year asking for DIY.

We do have garment making threads on /cgl/ on a fairly regular basis, but one of the reasons why I, personally, would not discourage them here at least for the time being is that it would be nice to get help and perspective from people who may know about garment making and tailoring who would otherwise not normally go to /cgl/ which is in fact a shithole.

My advice for anyone coming to ask about garment construction or things of that nature would be to double post on cgl and diy. It will become apparent over a short period of time which board has the best advice on that topic and in time those threads can be directed to that location. But for now I think it's too early to see. I'm also hopeful that a lot of the crafty people who don't participate in the shit fest that is cgl may come here, and I've noticed volpin, an experienced prop maker and artificer has already been posted.

So, I know we are all excited about /diy/ but let's not get so angry right away about posts that may "belong" on another board until this board gets a little more broken in.

I'm really happy this board was finally made, I don't know why I woke up at 7am and decided to look at 4chan on my 3DS but when I saw moot's message I jumped out of bed and screamed "TODAY IS CHRISTMAS!" and consequences were never the same.

>>3755
thank you for saying what didnt enter my head but is still true

Ah, fuck that noise.

Got some metalworking skills and a plumber's torch? Then try the following.

1. Acquire a pair of German welding goggles (Restoration Hardware, the metal things). You also need some brass sheet or 2" diameter brass tube. Also silver brazing rod and flux. You should acquire some leather and brass rivets too. A buckle, if you feel fancy.

2. Remove all rubber parts from the goggles. Keep the headband, you might need it.

3. Remove the side shields. You'll need a side cutter to remove the rivets. Also remove the leather nosebridge, or you'll burn it later.

4. Shape the tube or sheet. In case of sheet, use the flattened side shields as a template. In case of tube, cut diagonally with either a metal saw or a dremel cutting disk.

5. For a sheet, punch holes where the rivets should go. Use the ´lens holder as a template, you want to fit it. Rivet it on. For a tube, unscrew the lenses and braze the tubes on the lens holder frame. You want to use them as side shields, so treat them accordingly.

6. Punch more holes, to rivet leather to the side shields. Also cut slits, to fit the headband. Rivet the leather in place.

7. Put the nosebridge and headband back on.

8. ???

9. PROFIT!

Picture somewhat related, that monoggle was made that way.

>>4518
>monoggle

Trying very hard to fathom the usage of such a thing.

>>4547
maybe you're lacking the other eye?

>>4547
It's for show.
