Those look pretty cool. But if you're looking for a springer DD, check out Jason Philips' machines. @illustratedgentleman on Instagram or Horikaiju on the forum here. Adjustable stroke, almost totally silent and really well built. I've got one of his dirty bastard springers and absolutely love it for just about everything.
I am familier with his and think he makes a sexy machine but what I see on this that his dont have is the stop that will keep the flexation from going downward or sagging toward the tube. I also like this coil styled frame.
True. If you get on, be sure to let us know how you like it.
Pretty interesting how that give works.I want to try one see how it feels in the skin!
How's the springer he build handling linework? Finline 3-5 and bold stuff like 14's? I'm about to try new stuff. Thinking about buying a Edge X or a Halo 2 but deep down in my heart I love the simplicity and the old school look of DD's. I line with coils and really would like to have some give.Quote:

Check out dan kubin stuff like this was some of his first builds....

I made my machines to be an all around daily driver. They line, shade, and color pack like a coil. I've used 3rl to 14rs for lining and 5mg to 15mg for sharing and whatnot. From fine lines to bold old school the machine will do it all.
Sweet. Probably gonna order one soon! Just gonna play around with t-techs and my rw dd for a while. I got it right the stroke is adjustable? What range?Quote:
