His name is Dale, if I remember correctly he is in the UK since he bills in pound sterling not dollars. He makes really nice (large diameter) footpedals too that will match these machines. I know he is on facebook as well, If you want I will dig up his email and PM it to you so you can contact him.

Oww ok yea i have him on myspace i have talked to him off and on i noticed that his other models motor mounts where round then tapered down to the chuck,I think it was faster and cheaper to do it this way. Nice guy was going to make me a 2 mm one.those ones do look cool thoe.
He also told me they do hit hard but run smooth

I think these are the fancy limited edition machines. If you talk to him tell him to come back to the forum, he should jump in on this thread. :)

Ah, makes sense; I don't recall his machines having a slide although the detail on the ones in this thread look amazing. Any chance you could post some more images?

[slicksteel]

Hey there dale what price are they going for right now,do you still have the tapered ones? Also which ones have more weightforward the rectangle plate ones or tapered? Also i did have one of roy richardson ones and sold it...It was nicely made with a good motor but it was not my cup of tea i think your desighn with linear action would suit me better. Keep up the good work,nice tattooing buy the way!

I realy am going for light these days that is why i have been useing rotarys and they seem to run more to my hand speed then coil machines.I did look at the tapered ones and thaught they were lighter, turns out i was wrong! lol I just want a blanced machine.Maybe one with the brass chuck-parts and the steel motor mount n guide box. Thanks for your personal time on the fast replys.
