The Future of Metal Fabrication in the UK: Embracing Innovation and Technology

3D printing has come along with unprecedented innovation in rapidly changing domains of product development and manufacturing. The method accelerates the rate of prototyping, helps complex designs where previously impossible things could not be produced by normal conventional methods, and businesses have to choose whether they should use specialists or invest in an internal resource when it comes to 3D printing. Advantages of Printing Internally with 3D The good news is that many businesses opt for in-house 3D printing by the metal fabrication company in UK because of its very many benefits. Its maximum advantage is one thing: in-house control over the process of printing. Since the business carries out this process, it is able to ascertain the quality of its prototype and product. Projects may be initiated and dropped; therefore, experimentation and iterations can happen fast and without inputs from outside. Limitations of In-House 3D Printing In-house 3D printing also comes with its pros and cons. The upfront investment in 3D printing is critical. This cost can be very high based on technology and the volume of manufacturing. The maintenance and operation of 3D printers require knowledge and skills and thus require staff training. Periodic equipment maintenance may sum up and reduce profitability. Benefits of outsourcing 3D printing A professional 3D printing business could be an excellent solution for some projects because of its benefits. First, outside service providers sometimes have advanced printing materials and techniques not available locally. Because of this variety, businesses may use the service providers' skills and resources to produce more creative and higher-quality products. The Downsides of Outsourced 3D Printing Outsourcing has both pros and cons. Lead times are the greatest challenge. The service provider can cause project turnaround times to exceed estimates, particularly if the firm has heavy workloads or unusual logistical issues. In time-sensitive scenarios, dependence on an external provider can delay delivery of products. Choosing the Best Project Option The best in-house or outsourced approach to 3D printing will always be related to the particular nature of a project and the conditions it presents. Evaluate your needs for production first. If you perform small batch production or rapid prototyping, then perhaps investing in internal expertise is warranted. That is to say, if your production requirements are infrequent and require leading-edge technology or materials, it could be better to outsource it all to an expert.

In conclusion, such a decision must consider the merits and demerits of internal and external 3D printing services. Businesses must determine the need on their side, the project needs, and the resource needed in making this decisive move. This will position them to take advantage of the game-changing opportunity offered by 3D printing and push their inventions further.

how i live

I woke at midnight, last night, to a hard sou’westerly and the floor moving in three directions at once — pitching, rolling, rising-and-falling. Now, six hours later, the wind has moderated. Everything is still. The rest of the world is obscured by grey mist and sporadic showers, as if the sky has fallen across the shore.

I climb up a short ladder to the companionway to check that all is well on deck — it’s the first thing I do every morning — then I return to my bunk to download email and read a couple of news sites on a laptop before my wife wakes and we have a cup of coffee together across the varnished teak table that separates our bunks.

We talk about what we want to do today and waste a minute or two trying to agree a time-table before giving up. For half a decade, we have scraped by with a minimum of routine or planning. We are singularly unadept at making lists or coordinating diaries. We end up doing most things together. Today, we will pick up some paint and shackles at a chandlery and find a local metal fabricator to repair or replicate a damaged stainless steel stanchion. We also have to buy some groceries. But first I want to repair our rubber dinghy.

My wife and I live on a 32-foot sailboat. It is a life-raft of sorts. It is also an island on which we are trying to regain an unsettled but sheltered freedom after several years of being homeless. Most days, we feel like castaways, with no hope of ever being rescued.

It’s hard to explain how we ended up here. Moving aboard was not a ‘lifestyle choice’ but an act of quiet desperation. We had dropped out of a life in which I had somehow ended up running two well-known, medium-sized companies, one of them publicly listed — before those roles, I had been a musician, gambler, seaman, smuggler, photographer, magazine editor, and governmental adviser — and we had taken to wandering slowly across Europe, the UK, and North Africa. After a year holed up on the southern coast of Spain, a few miles east of Gibraltar, riding out the worst of the pandemic, we moved to southern Italy, where we acquired, and set about restoring, a small ruin, part of servants’ quarters attached to a 16th century Spanish castle, in a village not far from Lecce, in Puglia. We had just completed the work, two years later, when the local Questura, the office of the Carabinieri that oversees Italian immigration, rejected our third application for temporary residence and issued a formal instruction to us to leave Italy — and Europe’s Schengen zone.

The boat was not something we thought through in any detail. I had spent a lot of time at sea in my youth and had lived on sailing boats of various sizes on the Channel coasts of England and France, as well as in the Mediterranean. Which is to say, I had an understanding of their discomforts. But the prospect of resuming a life that, before we ended up in southern Italy, involved moving every three months — not just from one temporary accommodation to another but from one country to another, so as not to contravene the terms of our largely visa-less travel — had exhausted us. I made an offer on a cheap, neglected, 45-year-old, fibreglass sloop I had come across online and organised a marine surveyor to look it over for me. He gave it a cautious thumbs up.

I won’t forget my wife’s dolorous expression, a month later, when she saw the boat for the first time. It was in an industrial area of Southampton, on a dreich morning in early spring — bitterly cold, windy, and raining. Around us, the Itchen River’s ebb had revealed swathes of black, foul-smelling mud. Raised far from the sea, on the plains of north-eastern Oklahoma, my wife told me later she had been praying that our journey to this glum backwater was part of some elaborate practical joke.

There is a whole genre of YouTube videos created by those who live on sailboats full-time and voyage all over the world. The most popular, the so-called ‘influencers’, are young(ish) couples or families with capacious, often European-built, plastic catamarans or monohulls. Their videos focus less on the gritty, day-to-day grind of boat maintenance and passage-making and more on sojourns in ancient, stone-built harbours in the Mediterranean, white, sandy beaches and palm-fringed cays in the Caribbean, or improbably blue lagoons and solitary atolls in the South Pacific, where they barbecue fresh fish, paddle-board, kite-surf and practice yoga and aerial silks for the envy of hundreds of thousands of followers. My wife’s and my life aboard together is nothing like any of this.

We are both in our sixties — I am just a year away from seventy — and we have spent more than a decade on the move around the world, at first following eclectic opportunities for employment then, when those opportunities receded, in search of somewhere we might be able to settle with very little money. Four months after moving aboard our boat, we still think of ourselves as vagabond travellers, our boat a shambolic, floating vardo that we haven’t yet managed to turn into a home. We’re not really ‘cruisers’, despite the sense of community we sometimes find among them, but we are seafarers — historically, a marginal existence driven by necessity. A recent, 150-nautical-mile passage westward along the south coast of England was a shakedown during which we learned how to make our aged, shabby vessel more comfortable and easier to handle and to trust her capacity to keep us safe at sea.

She bore the name Endymion when we bought her — after my least favourite poem by John Keats (“A thing of beauty is a joy forever…”) — but we re-named her Wrack. Depending on the source, ‘wrack’ describes seaweeds or seagrasses that wash up along a shore or the scattered traces of a shipwreck, either of which might be metaphors for my wife and me in old age. It is certainly how we feel when we’re not at sea. Life aboard Wrack is spartan — fresh water stored in a dozen polyethylene jerry cans, no hot or cold running water, no refrigeration and when the temperature drops, no heating either — so, from time to time, we concede the cost of berthing in marinas to gain access to on-site laundries, showers, flushing toilets, and wi-fi. Whether we’re berthed or anchored somewhere, we shop for food once a week — mainly vegetables, fruit, bread, pasta, and rice but little dairy and no meat — and eat one meal a day, cooked in the mid-afternoon on a two-burner gas stove.

The days we spend in close proximity to others’ lives ashore remind us how disenfranchised ours have become. We were homeless before we acquired Wrack, but now we are without a legal residence anywhere, even in our ‘home’ countries. We enter and exit borders uneasily as ‘visitors’, our stays limited to 90 or 180 days, depending on where we are. We have no access to banking, insurance, social services or, with a few exceptions, emergency health care. Even the modest Australian pensions we have a right to can only be received if we have been granted residence in countries with which Australia has reciprocal arrangements — and we haven’t. It’s hard even for other live-aboards to understand how deeply we are enmired in this peculiar bureaucratic statelessness. It’s harder for us to deal with it every day.

But life afloat provides consolations. We are ceaselessly attuned to the weather and our boat’s responses to subtle shifts in the sea state, tide and wind even when we are tethered to a dock. We appreciate the shelter — and surprising cosiness — the limited space below decks affords us but the impulse to surrender to the elements and let them propel us elsewhere is insistent. Our best days are offshore, even when the conditions are testing; the world shrinks to just the two of us, our boat and the implacable, mutable sea around us. Whatever problems we face ashore become, at least for the duration of a passage, abstract and insignificant. We sail without a specific destination — ‘towards’ rather than ‘to’, as traditional navigators would have it — and without purpose. Time drifts.

At least half of every day is spent maintaining, repairing, or re-organising the boat, an unavoidable and time-consuming part of our days, especially at sea. When we’re at anchor or berthed in a marina, we do what we can to sustain ourselves. Most afternoons are spent prospecting for drips of income from journalism and crowd-funding — a source inspired by those younger YouTube adventurers — or adding a few hundred words to a manuscript for a non-fiction book commissioned by a Dutch publisher, whose patience has been stretched to breaking point. Because of our visitor visa status, we can’t seek gainful employment ashore, and we have long since lost contact with any of the networks that once provided us with a higher-than-average income as freelancers. Our existence, by any definition, is impoverished and perilously marginal, we have little social life, yet we make the effort to appreciate our circumstances, even if it’s just to sit together in silence and absorb the elemental white noise of wind and sea, to do nothing, to not think.

Our precariousness burdens our four adult children, who have scattered to San Diego, Sydney, Berlin and Rome: “Where are you now?” our youngest asks. “How long will you be there?” We speak to each at least once a week. Not all of them long for fixedness but they do want desperately for us to have a ‘real home’, somewhere we can assemble occasionally as a family. We will be grandparents for the first time, soon. Like our few friends, our children worry that we might become lost — in every sense.

My wife and I are uncomfortably aware of our financial and physical vulnerability but at our ages, we can no longer cling to the faint hope that there’s an end to it. We have committed to an unlikely, reckless voyage. All we can do is maintain a rough dead reckoning of its course and embrace the uncharted and the relentless unexpected.

'Globalisation is a positive force in the world.' - How far do you agree?

(more shitty essays, genuinely not even reading through this, if it says anything truly horrifically factually incorrect lmk)

To properly understand anything you have to go back to its beginning. Globalisation has only existed as a concept since circa. 1980, however people have been trading goods and information since the start of civilisation itself. Some of the first examples of Globalisation on a larger scale came from trading routes for goods like silk and other fabrics, precious metals and stones, weapons and armour, books, and animals. One example of such routes is the silk road which went all over the world. Routes like this have existed for over 1500 years. Globalisation had another boost in the 16th-18th centuries with the ‘discovery’ of the Americas, Australia, and India, and more significantly the start of trades such as the slave trade. However, Globalisation on the scale we talk about nowadays has only been around since around the early 20th century. Despite having only existed on this scale for just over a century Globalisation has already had significant effects, both positive and negative,  on every aspect of human nature.

The positives and negatives are difficult to discuss for two main reasons. Firstly most of the positives also have negative effects and vice versa, the problems are a double-edged sword. Secondly, Globalisation has had such a significant effect and has become so entangled with every part of our lives. Everyone has both benefitted from it and been harmed by it, some to greater extents than others.

Globalization has benefitted businesses by giving them easy access to raw and precious materials in places where they are plentiful and the removal of them will have minimal effects on the climate. It has also however provided them with even cheaper, though much less sustainable alternatives to that. Large corporations often sacrifice the climate in the name of profit, especially as the most negative effects are in countries around the equator and most large corporations have their head offices in more economically developed countries such as Britain and the United States.

Globalization also allows large organizations to take advantage of the lower labour costs and taxes in developing countries, while still benefitting from the technical abilities and experience of more economically developed economies. While these corporations have their head offices in the MEDC’s, having their factories in LEDC’s means they can claim to the governments that they are based there, therefore avoiding the higher tax rates of Europe and America.

Globalisation has also made designing and making new and useful machines much easier, as it is easier to access parts for them. Even everyday items like clothes are made differently due to globalisation. People used to buy a coat, and the wool, thread, buttons, etc. would all have been made within twenty miles of each other. Nowadays, the zips of most jackets are made in a factory in China, waterproofing of cloth is done across several factories in India, and sewing the coat together could be done anywhere.

Globalization has also had a large effect on services. Many businesses located in the United States have outsourced their call centres and other such services to companies in India. ABRDN, a top 100 British investment and trading company has recently offset a large amount of their information technology services to Chandigarh, in India.

Globalization is used most excessively in the car industry. As part of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), all U.S. car companies relocated their operations to Mexico, where the cost of labour is significantly lower. This has some positive result’s such as creating more jobs in countries where jobs are needed due to high unemployment rates (though Mexico’s unemployment rate is 2.93%, lower than the US’s 3.6%, or the UK’s 3.7% (1)), which often has a positive effect on the national economy and GDP, and frequently results in a higher standard of living. China and Japan are brilliant examples of countries which have benefited immensely from globalization.

Another example is Vietnam, where globalization has contributed to an increase in the prices for rice, which has lifted many poor rice farmers out of poverty. As the standard of living their increased, more children of poor families left work and attended school, which helps break the cycle of poverty.

The average consumer will also benefit from Globalisation. Globalization decreases the cost of manufacturing as it is easier to get components and outsource work. This means that corporations can offer their products at a significantly lower price to consumers. Consumers have to be careful however, with buying cheap products especially clothes and technology, as the low prices often means that someone along to manufacturing chain is being exploited and paid much less than they should be for their work.

The average cost of goods is a key aspect in the increases in the standard of living. Globalisation also means that consumers have access to a much wider range of goods. In some cases in Northern Hemisphere countries, this may contributes to improved health by allowing people access to a much more balanced and healthy diet; however in others, it is responsible for increases in unhealthy food consumption and diabetes. Globalisation has affected access to both foods which are healthy, and foods which are definitely not, the defining factor here is the consumer themself and their personal choices.

Globalisation has made things much more complex in the developing world, where economies are going through frequent changes. Globalisation has meant that the working conditions at some points in the supply chain are disgusting. For example, the fashion industry corporations have hundreds of factories in areas such as Bangladesh, which employ an estimated four million people, but the average worker at one of these factories earns less in the average month than someone working the median wage in the US, or the UK earns in a day.

Critics of globalisation have suggested that large companies from MEDC’s are using Globalisation to take advantage of LEDC’s by creating employment opportunities for children in poor countries which has led to a dramatic increase in child labour. These companies lure children of poor families away from school, by promising them money to support them and their families. Globalization has created an environment that exploits workers in countries that do not offer sufficient protections from exploitation.

Scientific studies have also suggested that Globalization has contributed to income inequality between the more educated and less educated members of a society. This means that unskilled workers are by decreasing wages, which are under constant pressure from globalization due to corporations always looking for cheaper options.

Regardless of its negatives, globalization is here to stay (though some studies show that the rate of globalisation is flattening out(2)) Socially, globalization has facilitated the exchange of ideas and cultures, contributing to a world view in which people are more open and tolerant of one another, while also causing a lack of concern for human life due to mass corporations searching for cheap labour and off sourcing their work. Overall, Globalisation has had more positive effects than negative ones, but the extent of the negative ones is still too great to simply be ignored.

Untitled project Devlog #3: The crab effect

Today we’re going to talk about how art and politics are inherently inseparable on a conceptual level, but first: let’s talk about boots.

If you google Doc Martens you’ll be taken to their website where you have the option of buying an assortment of very overpriced shoes that a lesbian on tiktok assured me are made less good than classic ones from the 90’s and 80’s. When I was in class one day our professor mentioned how nowadays a lot of companies adopt an ideology put forth by Ford (the car manufacturer) where if you have a very sturdy part of a machine that’s expensive to make but the rest of the machine isn’t, the “smarter” idea is to make this part cheaper and less sturdy than to spend a bunch of money to make the whole machine better- supposedly this is better for the consumer somehow but that’s not the point. Setting aside how that raises the question of planned obsolescence and potential consumer exploitation, part of the reason that people say old Doc Marten shoes are better… is probably because they actually are. 

from how to geek: https://www.howtogeek.com/731791/what-is-planned-obsolescence-and-how-does-it-affect-my-devices/

This sentiment, the idea that companies aren’t worth your respect because they optimize their products to make more money and not to actually sell you a good product is part of what a lot of punk subcultures are about. Those same boots were likely part of the original fashion focused subculture, skinheads, that assisted in the creation of the punk genre. 

The original meaning of “skinhead” referred to some working class young people who had some extra cash to spend on clothing. Because history is always very messy, some racists saw that and thought “oh wow young people who can vote” and then neo nazis happened. in reaction to that you had people still calling themselves skinheads now taking an anti racist anti fascist approach. to note: it’s not clear cut, you still had people in the middle not caring.

This is how the ideology of punk was born. It’s this whole messy history lesson spanning continents, politics, fashion, a distaste for what was then the way too polished mirror sheen of rock. they wanted something tangible, something of the people by the people. so take the urban fashion of the original reggae/soul/ska influenced skinhead movement born in the UK, combine it with the now beginning to be unique sound of american punk just trying to sound different, the image of the working class “bastard” that deconstructed and challenged the idea of what a musician was and you get a socio-politically motivated genre of music that wants the best for the people.

sidenote: in case you’re wondering- yes there were neonazi punk musicians, but it’s not called punk, it’s called hatecore, which is… a fitting name. Genres are not only defined by sound, but themes as well.

Remember when I mentioned that music changes based off of the social fabric it’s built on? there you go. Punk as we know it would not exist the way it does today had it not been for that messy history. Now with that in mind, you can hopefully see why there’s an overlap with metal. If I were to vaguely state “loud music that actually wants to say something very important” you might have a hard time telling me which genre I’m talking about. This overlap is vaguely similar to how nature keeps evolving crabs independently from each other:

“Carcinization is of interest to carcinologists and evolutionary biologists for several reasons and at different levels. First of all it is an instance of astonishing convergence, concerning a whole set of structures.”

Scholtz, G. (2014). Evolution of crabs – history and deconstruction of a prime example of convergence, Contributions to Zoology, 83 (2) 87-105. https://brill.com/view/journals/ctoz/83/2/article-p87_1.xml

And… it’s weird right? how these people trying to do different things ended up in the same place. to note, I’m aware that both of these genres are not exclusively worried about social and political issues, no genre is. Metal is first and foremost fun, and punk music is first and foremost that: MUSIC. But it’s hard to deny that both genres are intense in their messaging. 

Remember the time System of a Down set aside years of creative differences to talk about the war happening in Armenia?

Literally any Russ Russel song will be talking about some variation of politics/the man/religion

Napalm Death, Metaphorically screw you

Here’s a fun fact, Rage against the machine got the N-word pass (I would presume) to sing their cover of Fuck the police

You know the meme of Gojira being all like “come here bb girl” and then it’s just like a tree? I mean that’s not based on nothing either…

On the lesser known end of the spectrum, you have artists like 3teeth which raise an interesting question:

3teeth, president X

“It’s all kind of… tongue in cheek?” you might say. There’s the song “God hates us all” by Slayer, when the lead singer Tom Araya was asked if he actually believes that he simply said the following:

Tom Araya in in Metal: A Headbanger's Journey, directed by Sam Dunn

Metal Musicians aren’t dumb. They know what they’re doing. Sometimes they’re Genuinely convinced of what they’re talking about. Other times They’re just trying to be outrageous.

A lot of the gender norm defying things the metal scene did in the 70’s was because they were just trying to look cool and outrageous. But let’s forget about that for a moment. I can hear someone giving the arguments “What about Nu metal?”, “What about Rob zombie?”, “what about Ghost”, “what about [insert commenter’s band here]?”. Are those political? no, neither is most music in general. No one listens to Feiruz and thinks “ah yes, you can clearly hear the Palestinian struggle represented through the lyrics” but you might just look up Feiruz, learn she’s from Lebanon and then learn about the part of the world glued to Lebanon called Palestine. This is called tangential learning, so in that same sense, maybe you’ll be listening to Bodies by Drowning pool–which is about moshing by the way– and for a moment you’ll think of something else more serious for example. Again, you might not, and that’s fine… but you can’t deny that the path is there. 

Setting that aside for a moment, let’s consider the argument that music is a form of escapism. Leaning on this as your sole argument is very narrow minded and forgets the idea that escapist fiction is inherently anti-escapist. When you read Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson (which is great by the way go read Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson) sure you’re immersed in the world of the book and the intricacies of this nigh-impossible magical bank heist. But once you put down the book, you’re always reminded of the world you’re escaping from. Escapist fiction offers a temporary relief from reality, there is always a thread that tethers that fiction to the real world it pushes against. 

Craig Thompson, Blankets

If you're still reading at this point you’re probably wondering how any of this is relevant to a comic book, let alone one that I'm making. The project I'm working on is going to feature a band that we’re going to be eventually making characters for. but in order to do that and do it properly, it’s important to understand the motivations behind the music. If I don’t then you end up with cliche characters like “angry rebellious metalhead” and “overly verbose activist punk” which no one wants and that would make the whole thing a shit fest at worst, and a boring comic at best. It’s important for me that i don’t rely on the events taking place in the story to hold it up, the world and people in it need to be just as interesting and complex as the contrivances of my narrative, otherwise I’m just writing a less good bandslam or a very uninspired rip off of inception that completely misses the point.

Anyways!I would be remiss to not specifically point out that I actually have a goal I’m working towards, I have a plot outline that’s been figured out for a while. All the work I’m doing fits into that skeleton in one way or another, but that’s it for now.

Devlog updates on tuesdays

[revcleo]

ok I'll go through each of these sections adding something: 1. If you are making your own patches (which is awesome and cool) then like try and use acrylic paint not poster paint, you can buy cheap acrylic paint but don't buy it too cheap, if you buy it too cheap it will not come out of the tube after like one use (UK heads talking about places like The Works) Daler-Rowney Graduate Acrylic will work very well and one tube will last ages. Make sure also to not use the cheapest brush, your finger will work better than a really really shitty brush. If you're buying a brush then just make sure to buy one from an actual art store and not "The Works", something like artdiscount.co.uk looks fine.

If you are still at school and have art lessons, why not sneak a piece of fabric in and use your school's supplies? 2. Spikes are kinda expensive! True! It's like £30 for 100 similar size ones on ebay. You can also buy a packet of nails and like stick them through fabric I suppose, it would look cool. Nails aren't super expensive. But all of these super sharp things are made of metal which can hurt you, like if you are in the UK your GP can give you a free tetanus shot, otherwise just make sure you keep any wounds clean with soap and hot water.

Something you can also do to make sure you are keeping yourself nice and safe is use leather to protect your hands if you are handling sharp metal. Note: pleather won't work here, but maybe a bunch of canvas will. You can get leather by filling in the form for free samples from an upholstery company. Just google "free samples sofa fabric" Or by finding some abandoned shoes and cutting them up.

3. Military surplus is still kinda cheap! Check out your local Milsurp places. If you want to order online from one, to make delivery cheaper order with some friends. Check out ebay auctions also, like, sure 2am will work for people selling things straight but you'll often get a discount on the auctions. Also if you are in the UK, check OLIO it's got plenty of people giving away free clothes. If you are in the UK you can also get free clothes from the people leaving them outside of closed charity shops. Charity shops have to throw away all those clothes, so like, they are free for you to do what you want. Charities can only take clothes in the charity box etc. 4. A lot of sewists are old and have developed arthritis, there's a lot of things out there to help people with arthritis do a lot of sewing. Like compression gloves, special tools like easy-thread needles, third-hand clamps so you don't have to hold the fabric weird, rotary cutters so you don't have to use scissors. Like there's so many.

I don't recommend fabric glue generally just because it's pretty shit, the reason why cheap factories use it is because it's cheap and it makes things look like they're attatched, it's just bad. If you find sewing on a patch hard, then just use bigger stitches. You also can make friends with someone who will sew it on for you.

Similarly do not try and make this easier by buying a handheld sewing machine for like £5 those are worthless, they do not work.

Also if you are trying to save money by buying dental floss don't bother:

That's about 600m of floss, £7.50, that's cheapest I saw

This probably isn't amazing, but you get 5500m of it and it will be better than dental floss.

honestly though you won't need more than this for a long time:

And this stuff is great. It's not very expensive to buy good thread and needles.

Avoid: small needles in a massive bulk pack it's more false economy, I don't like hemline needles either, or the ones in the white and blue pack. Test your needles by seeing how easy it is to bend them. Ones that bend super easy tend to be really bad for sewing. Cheaper needles also have worse holes, so your thread catches on them.

I recommend: John James needles

or pony needles

They tend to be comparatively easy to find and fairly cheap. If you need help threading a needle you can use these: https://www.jjneedles.com/buy-needles/general-hand-sewing/easy-threading-sewing-needles-sizes-4-8.html self threading needles, I've seen a blind sewist use them even.

If you can't afford a needle find someone who sews and ask them for a needle.

5. I would not recommend going into random household bins for fabrics, no matter how rich or poor someone is you will get mostly not fabric.

Places you can get free fabric: asking for samples from some places, asking charity shops if they have any they are throwing out, checking olio, asking friends and family if they have clothes they are throwing out, going into the bins of clothing shops to see if they are chucking things out, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7_eqNyIRl8 these sorts of public bins (big dumpsters) (note: danish video, but it is in english, but i don't think most people will find such good stuff, maybe checking in feb improves your chances, maybe the danish just chuck out so much good stuff)

My mum once got me a massive amount of leather from taking a pair of scissors to an old sofa she found, so that's also something you can do. I sometimes take apart old umbrellas I find but warning: that material doesn't hold up well over time. Especially if you do something like make an outdoor cushion. Might work ok for patches for a while at least.

if anyone sees this and has any questions about how to sew or make anything them hmu did you know you can make buttons out of old coins and fabric

I'm seeing a lot of people say that punk fashion is expensive and inaccessible, which is very wrong. here is a list of some ways you can make punk fashion easier, cheaper and more accessible for you, since that's... kinda the whole point.

others are encouraged to add onto this!! (just don't recommend corporations like amazon. not cool.)

1. patches!! you don't need to buy them. DIY patches are not ugly or boring. in fact, they are encouraged here!! DIY, in my opinion, is always the best thing to do when it is an option and is safe to do so.

2. speaking of DIY, spikes!! you can make them!!

cut the top and bottom off of an empty can. cut down the middle of the cylinder and flatten it, so it's just a flat rectangle of metal.

cut out a shape that is kind of a third of a circle, but around 3/4 of the curved edge is taken up by triangle shapes. (I'm not very good at describing, so here's a badly drawn picture)

roll it into a cone, leaving the 4 triangles sticking out at the bottom. this bit is optional, but you can fill it with hot glue to make it more sturdy, just be careful touching the hot metal. I tend to hold the cone by one of the triangles with a bit of fabric wrapped around my fingers for this bit. cut 4 small holes in your fabric in this kind of shape:

and put the spiky bits of triangle through the holes. fold the triangles in on themselves to secure the spike in place. boom. spike obtained. this is one I made and attached to a little piece of fabric to test this method out:

3. battle vests!! (like the base jackets). the best places to buy these are charity shops and second hand websites in my opinion, but if anyone else knows any better options, please reblog with those!!

a good trick I find works well on eBay is to filter search results to your country (or state? can you do that in the US? idk) so that a: fast delivery because local, and b: all the sellers of everything that shows up are in YOUR TIME ZONE.

why is this important? when people sell something for really cheap, it goes FAST. check eBay at like, 2am or something. all the scalpers in your area are asleep. grab the cheap stuff while they can't.

4. sewing!! want patches, but can't sew for whatever reason? I've heard of a lot of people with joint conditions like arthritis complain about the inaccessibility of patch stuff, and that does sound extremely annoying, however:

safety pins!! while they are still a little fiddly, they're much less work so you don't have to fiddle about for long. if you can, you could even ask a friend to help, since it doesn't take long at all I'm sure someone will be willing to help out!! (I know I would, but that's just me, and I love this kind of thing). safety pins on clothes are also widely considered to be a symbol of solidarity, so if anything, you're adding some extra love and meaning to your patch pants/battle jacket.

if that's still too fiddly, fabric glue is always an option. unfortunately this means you won't be able to remove/reposition patches, at least without leaving a massive patch of residue, but if you're ok with that then fabric glue is probably your best bet.

for people who prefer sewing: as for where to get the thread, I've heard a lot of people recommending dental floss, as it's apparently much cheaper and works just as well. I haven't tried this myself so can't confirm that, but I thought I'd share it regardless.

5. where to get fabric!! old clothes. rip em up. you don't need any kind of fancy fabric from the craft store. my patches are made of old jeans that I grew out of.

don't have any old clothes and you don't want to waste any good ones? I'm not sure about other countries, but in the UK, as long as you're not on private property (trespassing), dumpster diving is perfectly legal.

I definitely ;) do NOT encourage ;) trespassing rich people's land ;) to steal from their dumpsters ;)

or tbh it doesn't matter too much how rich the person is, since it's all going to landfill anyway. if it's in the bin, it's free game, but you didn't hear that from me. ;)

please add onto this where you can!! and if I missed something or got anything wrong, add that on too!!

How Screen Printing Provides Uniformity and Quality in Bulk Corporate Apparel Orders

When it comes to promoting your brand, uniformity and quality in apparel are paramount, especially for corporate orders. One of the most effective methods for achieving this is through T-shirt screen printing in the UK. This traditional yet highly efficient printing technique offers businesses a reliable way to produce high-quality garments that represent their brand consistently.

Understanding Screen Printing Services

Screen printing is a versatile and cost-effective method for creating custom apparel, particularly when dealing with bulk orders. The process involves creating a stencil (or screen) and using it to apply layers of ink onto fabric. This technique ensures that each shirt produced is identical in design and color, allowing for a cohesive look across all items. As a result, businesses can effectively convey their message and enhance their brand visibility through uniform corporate apparel.

In the UK, various screen printing services cater to corporate clients, ensuring that they receive apparel that meets their specifications and quality standards. The capability to produce large quantities efficiently means that companies can confidently order uniforms, promotional shirts, or event apparel without worrying inconsistencies in print or color.

Quality Assurance in Bulk Orders

One of the standout features of T-shirt screen printing is its ability to deliver exceptional quality. The inks used in screen printing are typically more vibrant and durable compared to those used in other printing methods, such as digital printing. This durability means that the finished products can withstand multiple washes without fading, ensuring that the corporate branding remains intact over time.

Moreover, screen printing allows for a range of effects and finishes, from basic prints to more intricate designs. Businesses can choose from various inks, including specialty inks like metallic or glow-in-the-dark, which can elevate their apparel and make a lasting impression. This flexibility ensures that companies can achieve the look they desire, tailored to their brand's identity.

Economical for Bulk Production

When it comes to cost-effectiveness, screen printing is hard to beat. While there may be a higher initial setup cost due to the creation of screens, the per-unit cost decreases significantly as the order size increases. For businesses looking to order large quantities of corporate apparel, this method not only ensures uniformity but also makes it an economically wise choice.

In the UK, many companies specialize in screen printing in England, providing various options for bulk orders. This means businesses can find local services that not only understand the nuances of the UK market but also adhere to high-quality standards. This local touch can make a significant difference in customer service and the overall experience, ensuring timely deliveries and professional advice on designs and materials.

Conclusion

For any business aiming to enhance its branding through corporate apparel, T-shirt screen printing in the UK stands out as an ideal solution. It offers the perfect blend of uniformity, quality, and cost-effectiveness, particularly for bulk orders. By utilizing professional screen printing services, companies can ensure that their apparel not only looks great but also withstands the test of time, reinforcing their brand identity in every interaction. Whether you're ordering uniforms, promotional items, or event apparel, screen printing is the key to achieving a polished and professional look that resonates with clients and employees alike.

Over £1M for global semiconductor firm IQE to enable industrialisation of ULTRARAM

An Innovate UK project worth £1.1M has been awarded to the Lancaster University spinout firm Quinas, the global semiconductor company IQE and Lancaster and Cardiff Universities. Quinas will coordinate the ambitious project which is the first step towards volume production of the universal computer memory ULTRARAM™ invented by Lancaster Physics Professor Manus Hayne. ULTRARAM has extraordinary properties, combining the non-volatility of a data storage memory, like flash, with the speed, energy-efficiency, and endurance of a working memory, like DRAM. Most of the funding for the one-year project will be spent at IQE which will scale up the manufacture of compound semiconductor layers from Lancaster University to an industrial process at the Cardiff based firm. This will involve IQE developing advanced capability for growth of the compound semiconductors gallium antimonide and aluminium antimonide for the first time. The project follows significant investment to boost the UK semiconductor industry and the establishment of the world’s first compound semiconductor cluster in South Wales. Professor Hayne, who is the Lancaster team lead, co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Quinas said: “We are delighted that Innovate UK is supporting this ambitious project, and that IQE has committed to developing the first part of ULTRARAM mass production.” It is estimated that the global memory chip market will be worth about US$320 billion by 2030 but the UK currently has no stake in it. Professor Hayne said: “ULTRARAM represents a tremendous economic opportunity for the UK, and the efficiencies it could bring to computing at all scales has the potential for huge energy savings and carbon emission reduction.” Jessica Wenmouth Lancaster University’s Head of Research Commercialisation said: “I am delighted to support our spinout Quinas on its journey to scale this Lancaster-led innovation to an industrial process suitable for a semiconductor foundry 'fab,’ thereby generating impact from research through commercialisation. “This project not only aligns with Lancaster University's strategy to foster impactful research and innovation but also demonstrates the effective utilisation of strategic grant funding alongside private equity investment. Such collaborations are crucial for bringing new products to market and driving significant investment into the UK for emerging technologies, enhancing our national and global standing in cutting-edge fields.” The goal of the one-year project to industrialise the process involves scaling up ULTRARAM wafer diameters from 3” at Lancaster to 6” at IQE. This will be achieved by using the mainstream production technique of metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE), also called metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD), rather than molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), which is typically used at universities. Professor Hayne said: “Lancaster will do some initial MBE epitaxy as a control/template for the industrial growth. Our key role will be to characterise the antimonide material grown at IQE, and once sufficient quality is confirmed we will fabricate and test ULTRARAM memory on small areas of the wafers from IQE. “In parallel with this, Lancaster will continue to work on ULTRARAM scaling, by reducing the size of individual devices (‘Moore’s law’) and making larger and larger arrays. Once devices are small enough and arrays are large enough, the following stage will be to demonstrate fabrication on a complete 8” wafer, and then to translate the process to an industrial one, suitable for a semiconductor foundry ‘fab’.” ULTRARAM exploits quantum resonant tunnelling to achieve its extraordinary properties and is implemented in compound semiconductors that are used in photonic devices such as LEDs, laser diodes and infrared detectors, but not in digital electronics, which is the preserve of silicon.
