Treasure Chest Machine

[tattooedpirate2]

I am taking bids on the new Prototype Treasure Chest Machine. I will be taking deposits on the new machine in the next 30 days. There is a list and a waiting period while the parts are being machined. I have the motors already from Germany, no wait on them. All parts are US made by the same shops who make my Rapier parts. The new machine will have 3 strokes 2.5mm 3.2mm and 4.2mm to cover everyones liking. The machine will run from zippy to slow and punchy depending on the stroke you use. There will be 4 different needle give springs to mimic a coil machine and give the artist more control of their machine. I'm thinking in June the machines will be ready to ship.

Its just the 3d model so some parts are missing. More as we finish the drawings for the 3d images.

[Rattus]

I don't dig that style of chuck all that much but, this one just made the top 2 list for my first 'real' rotary.

[Alie K]

I prefer that style to some others as I occasionally use drop in tubes, and that style works well.

Here is the updated 3D drawing.2781

[Rattus]

Nice.

It's just a little to bad that these nice machines are looking pretty much the same now but, I guess it's inevitable with the working mechanisms.
I want one!!! or 5!

[chizzle]

Did you have already one ?

[tattooedpirate2]

Updates on the new machine will be coming out next week. Everything is in production and running smoothly. Motors came in the other day and are ready to go as soon as the machined parts get here. I will be posting a date ASAP for all you guys who have reserved your machines. Thanks for the business The Pirate.

[Tommy]

looks great, man!

[Tat2dPinoy]

Is the stroke length on each machine permanent? Then you can change between 4 different 'springs' to your liking?

[tattooedpirate2]

Stroke lengths are adjustabe in the machine. It is changed by moving the connecting rod to a different hole in the fron of the crank. There are no other pieces need to change your cranks stroke. The springs will have to be changed by myself for you. The springs are real small and have to go in a certain way. So for your warranty to be honored I need to do the service on the machines. I can pretty much hit the nail on the head by dicussing with you what you want the machine to do.

[Big Oh]

Cary can you post some pics of the finished machine? Thanks

[tattooedpirate2]

Their not quite done yet, but as soon as I'm done I will post new pictures.

[gangstajay]

ahhh this is going to be a great machine

[tattooedpirate2]

Parts will be shipping out to me on the week of 25th of July. Machines will be ready for shortly there after. Shops behind 2 weeks sorry for the delay but you can't rush perfection.

[gamera55]

can you get a clip cord with these or a adapter?

[tattooedpirate2]

Oops wrong post, The Treasure Chest only comes in RCA jack.

[punkangel]

[punkangel]

[Baldrick]

Had an email from Cary today, building starts Wednesday - can't wait for mine. Loving the rapier so this is gonna be fantastic.

[tattooedpirate2]

Here's the first one off the line. It took some extra time but it's the best machine I've designed. All parts are made in the USA except the bearing and the German motor. It weighs 3.25 ounces and is the quietest machine I've ever heard. I will be building all week to get out the ones that are spoken for. I have a few left for sale I will be taking orders next week.4003

[turkeyneck]

yay! i'm so excited to get mine!

[gangstajay]

thats a good looking machine..turned out great

[Bishopbyname]

I've got a Rapier 2, i'm waiting on a Super V and i'll definitely be having one of those bad boys soon too. Cary you are the man!

[turnrock]

i keep coming back in here to click on the picture and look at it haha. i cant wait, looks awesome!

[Davidbautista90]

Awesome! Can't wait until my machine arrives! :)

[punkangel]

BIG CHEESY GRIN on my face :)

[tattooedpirate2]

I'm building my fingers to the bone getting everyones machine for delivery. I will be sending out all the balance invoices Monday morning after the hurricane is done with us. I've got my genarator gased up so it won't hold me up on the builds. I will get a break from tattoos other than the video I'm shooting Saturday on all the cool stuff I put in this machine. Everything is so solid and bulletproof in every way. I am having some more springs made right now for some different gives if people want to change theirs out lighter or heavier. I hope everyone loves them as much as I am.

[punkangel]

Liner, packer please, look forward to your mail, cant freaking wait man! cheers Cary, OHHH! an if your numbrin em, i'd love to get 13, lol (if you dont ask you dont get he he!)
Honestly thanks for your hard work! :)

[Baldrick]

Just paid the balance can't wait for the new machine to arrive and I'm already thinking about the next purchase from Cary. I quiet fancy the super v too :)

[Inkslinger]

Will have a Rapier 2 in my arsenal tomorrow (Thank you Gangstajay) and just got off the phone with Cary, GREAT guy.
Rarely is it that a builder gives you advice and is willing to support a machine that you buy from someone else, even though it's his. Usually builders WANT you to buy the machine from them, I mean they still support their machine, but seem happier to help you if you bought it from them or one of their distributors. Ya know what I'm saying? maybe it's not coming out right, But Cary Has a new fan so far based on his willingness to help me with his machine. Can't wait for tomorrow and run it!!

[Baldrick]

Treasure Chest arrived today ;) - only run it up, but its sooooo quiet and sits really well.

Cant wait to use it, but i'm off tomorrow - so will have to wait till saturday - got an on going back piece thats in for the second sitting - perfect tester.

[Baldrick]

new toy

[Sarenity Tattoo]

grrrr cant wait for mine!!!

[tattooedpirate2]

I tattooed a large skull on my roomate with the first one off the line and the machine lines and graywashes like no ones business. I was amazed how well they prototype runs and performs right out of the cnc. I am enjoying building and blueprinting each one for the individual artist. I am offering both fast and torque motors for the job at hand. liners and gray wash machines with the short stroke are zippy machines and the long stroke color machines are the high torque motors for power, power and more power.

[Inkslinger]

Ready to buy!! I sent you a pic of the one I got today so maybe you can tell me what it is.
Kinda bummed, it was supposed to be a Rapier 2, but no fault to you. I just went by what I was told.
Russ
What I received was/is a Rapier 2. After sending the pic earlier it was/is confirmed.

[tattooedpirate2]

Here's the start of the test piece the rest will be done when its done peeling. It was done Sunday and is already peeling. The machine is so easy on the skin it is crazy.

The video will be done when I color the piece and I will be posting it on the forum.

[Inkslinger]

Not sure if correct place to post but...
I will post a pic later tonight of tat I will be starting on my wife with my new Rapier 2.
Thanks.
BTW what/should I lube to lube it up? Same thing as I use on Neo-Tats and Bishops?

[Baldrick]

Cary - your a legend, I used the treasure chest today, all day and wow it performs even better than my Rapier2. I cant upload the pics till monday, but i finished a backpiece that was lined with a Rapier2 2weeks ago, and its was great, light, well balanced, no bedding in period - perfoms straight away. My Rapier is still a little tight, but the Treasure Chest is perfect already.

I did a Black & Grey session ( 2.5 hours ) using a 9mag and it was perfect - my one and only "complaint" ......... its too quiet, seriously im gonna tape a coil machine sound track to play in the background so the customer knows i'm working behind him ;) no joke he couldn't hear it - but he could feel it ;)

Another guy in the studio who uses Stigmas was so impressed hes gonna order one - and i'm gonna take one more too ;)

Thanks Cary, your hard graft was worth it mate.

here the piece - not great photo and made black and white to loose the redness.
will get more in a few days

[tattooedpirate2]

It is an evolution of all my machines in one. The performance is perfect and the longevity of the machine should be a long long time. There is'nt any metal on metal wear and the connecting rod is supported on both sides by the piston. I'm having the other 2 needle give springs made for the soft and the hard hit and will be ready next week. I am going to sell a 4 spring set for the artist for $25.00 to cover all 3 gives and a back up return spring to cover all the artists needs.

[punkangel]

got mine today Thanks Cary!

[dakine702]
