Some new fun Im having with old technology

I pretty much have abandoned lining with coil machines now and have been using the 2 prototypes that became these for my linework.

Can you get fatboy lines with these? what motor?

Jameco motor I found after trying lots of other motors, it was the one that performed exactly the way I wanted...fatboy lines achieved

which would you say works better as a liner the springer one or these direct drives-for fast traditional solid line work

Definitely the direct drive. I set out to make it as a liner only but it can do all just like most rotaries can.

They are beautiful, what do they cost?

oh yes..looking good I see on your web site it says 380.00 is that forum members price also?? and you have short stroke up on the site what all strokes are there??

Thanks! Pricing is $380 for carved/oil dipped and $400 carved/powder coated...forum members can have $30 off. My strokes on the direct drives are short=3mm, medium=3.4 and long=3.8

Those look simply amazing! I love the attention to detail and how each one has that hand carved feel.

I really like the way you carve these things..they look very cool.
It makes me think of something that came from outer space , fell in the ocean , got discovered , than polished...very organic looking....
It's hard to get this just right,.. And you do.

Can't wait to get mine. Thanks again for the hand built machines.

Thanks guys...everything I do is by my hands with attention to each machine. I have to tweezer out a lot of metal splinters from my hands each day but it's worth it. Yours should be there saturday Randy!

I like that description Tengu315!

So badass beautiful! Fuck why is there never enough money!?!?! Oh yeah, the Damn Elite stole it all!!

New toys always take the cash away fast don't they Sage? Tools, animal hides and powder coat colors bleed my wallet.

hey Amoebadesigns I swear I seen your machine on America's Worst Tattoos.

You did.. Tim pangburn uses em

Yep...Tim has 5 of my machines. All he uses now for the last year.

Ran into Kim Marks at the Halifax tattoo convention. She is over the moon pleased with the purchase of one of your rotary machines.

Kims great, such a nice person!

I have been running my DD for the last week or so and it plows the lines in. One pass just there. It is almost effortless. I tried it with TTechs and it pushed those really well too. Oh and it sounds like a cross between a toy train and a sprinkler haha. They spool up and chuga chuga chuga!!!!!!

I have 3 of Chris' coils, 2 linkage rotaries and 1 DD. Once again Chris has outdone himself and his customer service is amazing. Thanks Chris full review coming.

Thanks Patrick! I appreciate it.

with some reservation I sprung for one of these direct drive machines, at chris's suggestion. I've used it for about 10 days now. by the time I was half way through my first outline, I couldn't imagine lining with anything else. these direct drives are the answer for anyone that thinks a rotary doesn't have enough power to line on stomachs and other fleshy areas. I have a half dozen of the priciest and most well reviewed rotary liners in the forum. they don't touch this machine. I also heartily recommend chris's linear machines. they make a beautiful line, too. please feel to read my review in the machine review section of the rotary forum.
