Hey guys, Just a little it about me.....
Iv been building machines for around 10 years or so now. Originally it was done as a step into the industry. Basically a local artist needed some coils rewinding as back then a new set were extortionate. I told him I would give it a go in place for a bit of 'how to' knowledge and so the relationship began. I would sit and strip his machines and work out how and why they did what they did in place for an insight of how tattoo. Word got out I could repair machines, make leads, build coils etc and I got a little name for myself. This soon progressed to machines. I used to do 3 parters but this come to an end when I moved house and down sized my little workshop and sold my big mig. Im lucky to have a friend who is a cnc operator at an aerospace engineers who in his lunch can do bits for me. The only down side is I wait an age for stuff and there is a minimum order. It does however mean I get stuff at a good rate and I prefer 1 piece frames!
To bring us to preset, a friend of mine who is very well known in the uk as having one of the largest machine collection in the country was taking a lot of coil machines and leads from me (uk members will know him, he will of been in your studio). He planted a seed about a rotary as the shercliffe hybrid he was promoting was proving hard to get in numbers. And that brings us to were I am now. Having a go at making a well priced rotary that gets down and does the job.
