I have dog clippers and I know how to use them!
My dad decided circa 1963 that he was going to save money by buying cheap clippers and cutting my hair (without any training/experience).

Save that $1.25 every couple weeks.

Clippers came, I was ordered to sit.

An hour later, he drove me to an adjacent town, stopped by a barber shop, handed me $2.00 and told me to tell the guy to keep the change, and told me he'd watch for me and pick me up when I walked out.

First thing the barber said when I walked in:
"Did your dad try to cut your hair? It's not as easy as it looks, I'll fix it".

Mama had special scissors. Experience still sucked hard vacuum.

When I was around 10 my Dad took me to a friend of his house for a haircut. Apparently the guy was a barber. As we're getting out of the car to walk up to his house my dad says, "Listen son, I want you to know, this guy is blind. Don't be weird about it. He's good. He cuts hair by feel and smell".

This guy cuts my hair and I'm obviously being weird as fuck. I am absolutely freaking out he's going to cut off my ear or give me the worlds shittiest haircut. I was terrified.

When he was done, my Dad says, "See Bobby? He's pretty good for a blind guy."

The dude looks puzzled and my Dad says, "I told him you were blind. HAHAHAHAHA!"

I just remembered that. Thanks, Dad. :(

Invest in some purposed alcohol yeast. Yeah you can do it with bread yeast but distiller's and wine yeasts were bred to with stand higher alcohol (hence further fermentation) and reduced off flavors/compounds. Easily obtain online
Laughing hard. Neighbor gave me a 18 oz jar after trying to make wine from concentrate.
