Position this first bale top side up. The strings will be on the top and bottom rather than on the side. Start in the far left corner and work from left to right. Position these bales "cut side up." The string will be on the sides. Place these side by side, since you're currently creating the first layer. Keep going until you get to the wall or the edge of the pallet. This corner bale will be top side up. It finishes off a row that runs from left to right. To make the corner sturdy, make this two bales thick. The first (far left) corner was one bale thick. This (far right) corner is two bales thick. This begins the interlocking pattern, as opposed to the regular vertical stacking of Pattern #1. This row is in front of the corner bale (closer to you) with ALL the bales lengthwise. Repeat the exact same placement as before. This time, though, it is flipped on its side. Put a bale in the corner lengthwise, then stack a row of two bales in front of it width-wise, etc. While difficult to get used to, this pattern will maximize stability by crossing bales over each other perpendicularly and thus "locking" them together. Use this method to make very high stacks (4+ layers). It can help prevent your stacks from collapsing and ensure the safety of those working around them.

Q: Many prison tattooists use a clean toothpaste cap. Fill the cap about halfway with the sooty powder, and leave enough room in the container to mix in water. If you collected the soot on a sheet of paper, you can fold the paper and let the soot slide directly into the cap. Mix the soot with a drop of clean water. Be very sparing with the liquid-to-soot ratio; a bit of water goes a long way. Start with a small dose, and mix the soot together with the water in the toothpaste cap. Consider adding a bit of clear, scentless baby oil to thicken the mixture. Remember: the soot is much harder to come by than water or baby oil. It is a limited resource. Be very careful with your mixing so that you don't need to make more soot. Stir the soot-and-water mixture until it is about the consistency of a pen's ink. If anything, the ink should be slightly thicker. Adjust the portions of each ingredient until the texture is just right. To thin your ink, add a dash of water or baby oil. To thicken it up, add more soot.
A: Put the tattoo powder into a small cap or container. Add water. Finish mixing the ink.

Article: Unfold about 134 yards (1.6m) of fabric on a flat work surface. Then, use sharp scissors to cut the fabric so it's twice as long as you want the vest to end up.

Your fabric should now look like a rectangle. Use a ruler and make a mark 3 inches (7.6cm) across from the upper corner of the folded fabric. Then, measure and mark 2 inches (5.1cm) down from the upper corner of the folded fabric and draw a curved line to connect the 2 marks. You can mark on the fabric with chalk or washable marker. Try to cut as smooth a line as possible so the neckline of your vest looks even. You can discard the scrap of fabric you cut out. Depending on the type of fabric you used, you might still be able to see a fold like from when you folded the fabric in half. You can use this as a guide or just cut a straight line from the bottom center of the front up to the neckline that you cut. Your fabric should now look like a vest and you can try it on. Decide if you'd like to cut more of the front fabric at an angle near the neckline, for instance. You can also style your vest by cutting the bottom edges into curves or points.
