So after having too much fun designing a prototype for the g4 needle I’ve decided to make something I’ve needed for over a decade…
As most of you are aware I have dreadlocks. And we don’t have any grooming devices. As we don’t have the maintenance issues that non deadlocked people Have. Just wash and wait… How ever we doo need to sew in the loose hairs that don’t make it into the dreadlocks time to time. We call this frizz.
Commonly a sewing needle used for wool is used to resolve this issue. Loose hair is painstakingly threaded into the eye of the needle and sewn (in and out ) of the dreadlock. As u can imagine pushing and pulling a 2 mm needle through the equivalent of carpet is difficult. Ones fingers get stabbed and very sore from pushing the rear of the needle. And sometime a pliers is needed to tug the needly through the dreadlock.
So I thort what if there needle eye was on the sharp end and it had a big handle on the back to prevent stabbed.
So I plan to make it in the next hour. I’ll attempt to dremel a needle eye into a piece of stiff 2mm wire bent and snapped of a bit of arris fencing. I’ll then attempt to sharpen and Polish it. While I cad and print an ergonomic handle… it should just fit in the hole be bent over and glued in place.
If you have any tips or advice. Make it quick. You know what im like
