Do It Yourself!! - CGDCTT: Cute Girls Doing Cute Things Themselves

For anyone that isn't already watching this wonderful and warm slice of life series: what are you doing? Overloaded on crazy anime this season? Feeling like you've got a heavy and full schedule of series? Take a break, and watch Do It Yourself!! The perfect reset on the dense and packed fall season that follows a DIY club in their antics, and as I'll explain impassionedly with episode 6 as an example, gives a great perspective into DIY work and everything that makes it great.

The first thing I really enjoyed was the girls getting all excited over the hardware store. Getting to peruse all the various options and available tools like a fun DIY version of a kid in a candy store. It's definitely something that I can say is relatable. Walking past aisles of new and shiny power tools on sale, thinking of the great deals and all the things you'd be able to get done with a proper hammer drill, how nice that solder kit looks for making changing out/upgrading your keyboard switches (yes, I don't use hot-swap switches currently, sue me) way easier. Anyways, I digress, it's cute, it's apt, and a great little segue to place them into DIY mode.

We swiftly move into Rei's room though, which aside from being cute and organized has loads of DIY projects, some of which even happened in the anime already!

Once again, going past the purpose of cuteness and fun, I really love how the DIY element is integrated into the daily lives of the characters. It was used to create a warm and fun environment for Jobko where she could be happy and comfy in her homestay with Purin, and here it really drives home the "nothing goes to waste" mentality that can accompany DIY in general. So many little pieces like a tablet stand, or a chair, or even a little decorative board, it's really fun to see just how many pieces of DIY stuff litters Rei's room and how much personality it gives it.

After the girls have their fun and get into a sidebar conversation about Shoujo manga though, we get into the real DIY of the episode with the girls making seashell beach necklaces, coffee drippers, and tablet stands!

I love the level of detail they go into with each of the crafts. Using the correct tools, having little tips and creative additions, they do such a wonderful job of making the project engaging to the viewer, but also providing insight and accuracy to it. The tips about layers for the resin art? Really solid, and the little trick with the hair dryer? Loved that they added it. To go a step further though, Rei talks about bubbles appearing in the resin during the process, but you can actually use it to your advantage! Of course, you want the lower layers to be without bubbles, so make sure you pop them as they appear or heat up the resin before it cures so that it can work the bubbles out of itself. Anyways, with the wave part of the beach scene in resin work like Rei's, you can use the bubbles from the white resin as extra details/foam in the waves and it can look really pretty.

Moving on, we get to see Kokoro and Rei work away on some Coffee Drippers, and they do a solid job for the most part. They provide some solid tips for drilling symmetrical pieces of wood, and the tip about using tape to prevent burrs/rough entries on wood can be a good tip. My only gripe is that using tape to secure two pieces of wood for drilling through them is a bit flimsy compared to clamping, but at the same time I'm lazy and just use my one hand to keep stuff in place so I can't really talk😅.

They do a really solid job with the majority of the steps they walk you through, but have a few personal disagreements here and there. You don't really to drill holes all around the circle you're cutting out, just a single access hole will typically do for making a cut with a jigsaw.

This piece is probably the biggest offender though, and twofold at that. The simple issue is the translation. In Japanese, they call the tool a "Setsudanki" , which directly translates to "Cutting Tool", but most handypeople out there know it as a Chop Saw, not a circular saw. Chop Saws are static saws that are brought up and down on the material in question to "chop" them, as the name implies. A simple error, but one that should be corrected because Circular Saws and Chop Saws are pretty different. Anyways, the more complicated issue is they don't mention any protection or precaution for cutting metal that will spark. It can get hot if you get any on your skin so it's best to be careful when cutting metal with power tools. Again, maybe the advice isn't the greatest coming from a person that'll run a concrete saw without earplugs and only wearing sunglasses, but I at least want to encourage safety in others.

The learning doesn't stop with Coffee Drippers though, as Jobko walks us through their approach to making a tablet stand. As a quick aside I really love Jobko's character and how well each episode makes use of her. The perfect bridge between technology and practicality, she always finds a way to integrate the two in an inoffensive and positive way, whether neither takes away from the involvement of the other. Also, I just love how detailed they get with the technical drawings she uses. Walking a perfect line of pretty and practical, they're really detailed and wonderfully standardized, basically exactly what you'd expect of a proper technical drawing.

One little detail that they skip over though that's really useful is the gluing of some of the pieces. It's definitely not super structural given they don't clamp it or let it set, but it solves a really important problem when securing pieces together. She only uses a single screw on the piece in the image below, and that creates a problem on its own. It's a single point so the two pieces can rotate around it freely, which isn't exactly great for a product. Jobko solves this by gluing the pieces together as well as added security, good job Jobko👍!

So, case study closed, not only are these cute girls doing cute things, they're doing it themselves, and doing it accurately! It's really great to see and only adds to the overall warmth and fun atmosphere that the show provides. They find a perfect way to inject the DIY and creativity in a way that fits the girls wonderfully, ending the episode with setting up a little space in Rei's family shop for the crafts they made, and it really sells the best parts of this story.

Do It Yourself!! really prides itself on the passion that it passes along for DIY, not just as an individual activity and a space away from the blistering and startling pace of growth in technology in daily life, but as a space to happily coexist in alongside your friends full of passion and creativity. Finding projects to do together, creating stuff by hand to gift to your friends, getting to spend that time together away from screens, just happiness that you can't find without an activity like DIY, and they do a wonderful job portraying that in all the episodes so far. It looks so fun and enjoyable, like something you want to pick up with your friends and try out. And I say do it.

Hey! For Trystan x Nora:

What foods will they not touch?

Do they wear jewelry?

Do they prefer luxury or practicality?

What are their guilty pleasures?

Thank you!

Thank you so much for sending me this, Elsa!! This was so so fun to answer <3 much love!

> send me some character asks

What foods will they not touch?

Nora is not too keen on anything that is boxed - all the "homemade DIY" kits, the frozen wontons. She had a traditional upbringing where her parents implored upon the satisfaction of a good, homecooked meal and sometimes, it's the process that teaches you dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Ever since then, she's sort of grown up to dislike anything that is boxed, pre-made or packaged and are those one-minute dinner things. She still splurges on instant pasta though. That you can never take away from her.

Trystan absolutely loathes New York bread - at least the ones in restaurants. From a culture that has perfected the art of breadmaking, he likes to think of himself as a purist-adjacent. In his eight years of being there, Trystan has probably consumed the bread a few number of times and has sincerely disliked all of that. He's one of those people who bakes them himself, distraught that there aren't a lot of variety nor decent ingredients. However, he is partial to the bagels. He tells everyone he hates them but loves them secretly.

Do they wear jewelry?

Nora doesn't wear a lot since they become a work hazard when she's on active duty. The most she wears is a locket that belonged to her Mom and a pair of earrings.

Trystan is the polar opposite. He enjoys collecting rings, because they make him look very Godfather-esque (even though he's never seen the Godfather) and wearing them too. He wears an earring as well - the slip-on ones that aren't much of a hassle. Cufflinks, not exactly jewelry, but something he appreciates. Bracelets. He's a kid in a candy store when he passes by all those pop-up jewelry shops. They needn't be all diamond-encrusted or anything. He appreciates virtually anything.

Do they prefer luxury or practicality?

Now, under normal circumstances, Nora would make an argument about how not everything is "black and white" but she could definitely use some luxury in her life. To her, luxury isn't anything fancy, rather the ability for her to sit at home and not have to constantly worry about a million different things. Have an opportunity to help her anxiety attacks without drowning them in caffeine and making it worse. It is time. She loves spending good time for herself or with her loved ones and that is luxury to her. She definitely works towards it, anyway. At the end of the day, the money and satisfaction she earns from clients, puts her to sleep.

It is still a work in progress for her, because she's not used to being so kind on herself. Usually a day-off comes with so many doubts and ends up turning into a mental breakdown day.

Trystan is practical under many circumstances. Though he might be the poster child for all the luxury in the world, he still likes to have a reasonable voice helping him out. Sometimes its him. Sometimes it's Nora telling him he doesn't need to wage a war on a local bakery for getting bread wrong. To him, practicality isn't pragmatism. It is about doing the right thing at the right time and having the right tools to deal with it. If one of them falters, he learns how to improvise on it and attempt to build a solution. Be it trying to escape a tall apartment building because they accidentally tailed after the wrong lead or trying to pick a dinner to make.

Trystan's constantly learning how to adapt. New York is definitely different from Drakkos, in the way how the cities and the cultures shape how people work. He's gotten very good at it too.

What are their guilty pleasures?

It's simple for Nora. A soda or ginger ale or a Bud Light, the Real Housewives playing on TV. Or listening to the sappiest, most romantic songs ever on the car radio. Sometimes she even puts in an audiobook, before Luke learned she'd listened to almost five hours of the Twilight books.

To Trystan, it's writing poetry. It's trash sometimes, but he loves it. He also enjoys reading recipe blogs because they come with pages and pages of backstory, which is delightful in its own way. Along with that, he secretly enjoys the tabloids. He hates them for what they've done to him and his family, but a nice story about how someone else is having a dumpster fire of a lifestory is somewhat cathartic and downright addicting.

DRUMMERS: Anton Fier & Chris Cutler, 1987

I photographed two drummers in 1987 who were more than timekeepers. Anton Fier arrived in Toronto as a bandleader - the organizing force behind The Golden Palominos, an alt/indie/avant garde supergroup who he had transformed from a jazz outfit on their first album to an experimental pop band on their second, Visions of Excess. Guest vocalists on the record included John Lydon, Michael Stipe of R.E.M., Jack Bruce from Cream and Fier's discovery, singer and songwriter Syd Straw, alongside an all-star cast of musicians that included Richard Thompson, Jody Harris and Bill Laswell. His touring band included Matthew Sweet and P-Funk keyboardist Bernie Worrell. I had done a very prickly, unsuccessful interview with Fier over the phone a few months previous, but for some reason (I loved the record) decided to ask my editors at Nerve for a re-match, interviewing and photographing him at his hotel for what would be a cover story.

My second interview with drummer Anton Fier turned out much better than the first, and my photos were even better. I was still using my human lightstand and tripod method, holding my Mamiya C330 in one hand and my Vivitar flash in the other while trying to focus and compose, but the results were improving. Fier and the Golden Palominos would continue to release a string of fascinating records through the '80s and into the '90s - albums like Blast of Silence, A Dead Horse, Drunk With Passion, Dead Inside and Dreamspeed, most of which are extremely rare today. Fier's career had begun with immense promise, with stints in the Lounge Lizards and The Feelies before the Golden Palominos, and he would play on records by everyone from the Electric Eels, Joe Henry, Lloyd Cole and Matthew Sweet to Yoko Ono, Mick Jagger, Jeff Buckley and Herbie Hancock. But by the 2000s he was beset by money and health problems, and in September of 2022 he was dead of assisted suicide in Switzerland. One of my 1987 portraits of Fier ran with his New York Times obituary - something neither he nor I would have imagined back in that hotel room near Maple Leaf Gardens.

The other drummer of note I photographed in 1987 was Chris Cutler, born in 1947 in Washington DC to a British intelligence officer and his wife. His musical career began when he joined the Cambridge prog band Henry Cow, and after the band broke up in 1978 he founded Recommended Records, later adding a publishing arm, November Books. While performing with Art Bears, News from Babel and countless other avant-garde groups, he wrote File Under Popular, a collection of essays on music. This book, and his apparently endless musical energy, was what inspired me to photograph and - I presume - interview him when he came to town in 1987. He embodied the DIY spirit that I also saw in punk rock, and I was impressed when he showed up at Ildiko's, the grimy club above a pool hall where I'd seen countless hardcore shows, with his whole drum kit condensed into two cases that he hauled up the stairs. I photographed Cutler in the grafitti-filled dressing room at the club, holding my C330 in one hand and moving my flash around with the other, getting a few dramatic results. Chris Cutler continues to perform, record, write and even broadcast to this day, and Recommended is still putting out records.

Mike Savage on DIY Koi Pond Construction: Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

Having a tranquil koi pond filled with vibrant fish adds a touch of magic to any garden. But for beginners, the idea of building one might seem daunting. Fear not! With careful planning and this handy guide, you can create your own koi haven, even with limited experience.

Before You Dig Your Koi Pond

Plan and permit: Sketch your desired pond size, shape, and depth. Consider local regulations and permits, as some areas require them for ponds exceeding a certain volume.

Choose a location: Opt for a sunny spot with at least 6 hours of sunlight for healthy plant growth. Avoid trees with aggressive roots and underground utilities.

Gather your tools: Shovel, wheelbarrow, liner, underlayment, pond skimmer, filter, pump, rocks, aquatic plants, etc. (specifics depend on your design).

Step-by-Step Koi Pond Construction

Excavation: Mark the pond outline and start digging. Remember to create shelves for plants at different depths. Aim for a minimum depth of 3 feet to accommodate koi overwintering.

Level and compact: Ensure the base is level and free of debris. Compact the soil firmly to prevent settling and liner damage.

Underlayment: Line the entire excavation with a protective underlayment fabric to prevent punctures from rocks or roots.

Liner installation: Spread the pond liner, ensuring it reaches all edges and shelves. Secure it with liner tape or rocks. Fill the pond partially with water to help smooth out wrinkles.

Edges and filtration: Create a natural-looking edge by burying excess liner and adding rocks. Install the skimmer, filter, and pump as per their instructions, ensuring proper circulation and filtration.

Water features: Add waterfalls, fountains, or bubblers for added aeration and visual appeal.

Planting: Choose aquatic plants suitable for your pond depth and sunlight levels. They provide fish hiding spots, improve water quality, and add oxygen.

Filling and testing: Slowly fill the pond with water and monitor water quality using a test kit. Adjust filtration or add water conditioners as needed.

Cycling: Let the pond filter cycle for several weeks before introducing fish. This allows beneficial bacteria to establish and maintain water quality. Koi Enthusiast Mike Savage From His New Cannan Backyard

Koi Pond Care

Research koi needs: Understand their water quality requirements, feeding and nutrition habits of the koi, and potential health issues.

Start small: Begin with a few young koi and gradually increase the number as your pond matures.

Maintain water quality: Regularly test and adjust water parameters like pH, ammonia, and nitrite. Perform partial water changes as needed. Also master the art of how to clean a koi pond.

Feed properly: Choose high-quality koi food and avoid overfeeding, which can harm water quality.

Enjoy your oasis! Sit back, relax, and watch your koi thrive in their new aquatic home.

Conclusion

This is a simplified guide. Adapt it to your specific pond design and consult professionals for complex setups.

Safety first! Wear gloves and proper footwear during construction. Be mindful of electrical hazards near water features.

Patience is key! Building and maintaining a healthy koi pond takes time and dedication.

With careful planning and this guide, you can create your own stunning DIY koi pond that becomes a cherished feature of your garden and a source of joy for years to come.

Remember to consult your Mustang's manual for specifications and guidelines. With a little patience and a touch of skill, you'll have the engine running smoother than a perfectly brewed potion.

4. Bodywork Elegance: Polishing Your Mustang's Charm

Maintaining a Mustang's allure goes beyond what's under the hood. Regular cleaning, waxing, and detailing will preserve that head-turning exterior. Delve into the art of paint care, and your Mustang's color will pop like a spellbinding enchantment.

5. Suspension Sorcery: Achieving the Perfect Ride

A Mustang's suspension is like its magical carpet ride. Learn to assess and replace worn-out components for a smoother, safer journey. Whether you're cruising down the highway or tackling tight corners, your DIY suspension skills will ensure a ride worthy of a car wizard.

6. Beyond the Basics: Customization Charms

What sets a Mustang enthusiast apart is the drive to personalize their ride. Whether it's upgrading the exhaust system for a fierce growl or installing a cold air intake for that extra boost, customization is where you can truly make your Mustang your own. Just like a wizard tailors their spells, you can tailor your Mustang to match your personality and style.

7. Troubleshooting Enchantments: Decoding Warning Signs

Even the best wizards face challenges, and Mustang maintenance is no different. Learn to decipher warning lights and strange noises. Is your Mustang murmuring a mysterious incantation? Dive into diagnostics, identify the issue, and cast a repair spell before it becomes a bigger problem.

In conclusion, being a Mustang enthusiast means more than just owning a car – it's a lifestyle. With this DIY maintenance guide in your magical repertoire, you'll be prepared to tackle everything from routine care to advanced customizations. Remember, a true car wizard embraces the journey, revels in the learning process, and never stops fine-tuning their craft. So, ignite your passion, grab your toolkit, and let the Mustang magic unfold on the open road!
