I won't knock the guy I haven't met him; but he knows a thing or two about marketing, and that's basically all that is. I've seen his videos and he really doesn't tell anyone anything an artist...

From what I understand Mithra used to be really good but when B. Bond name dropped them; demand went up and with increased production quality went down...it happens. I have no current suggestions...
I'm pretty sure the Keith Richards thing has to do with blood alcohol content :p People that do a lot of drinking don't take ink as well as they should. For the drunks they are typically low on...
I learned to do this style years ago, I was taught to use a slightly spread flat 6. The hand movement is a little tricky...it's sort of a whip shade; but the machine is almost 90 degrees like a...
Nice to hear you got things sorted with the machine.
Here's a couple from Stoney St. ClairYes it hurts...a little.If you can't dazzle them with brilliance...Then baffle them with bullshit.Some from myself;There's enough pricks in this place...
I think the neatest thing about the thunder is the use of a ball bearing motor,there's no magnets involved. Here's a clip of what one looks like in action, and why it needs a push to get started, the...
You're welcome, I wish you much success in working out the solution you have in mind.
or the correct display of volts.
I would wire one with tip positive and wire one tip negative and offer both for sale? I'd also try to build a polarity list of machines to help people with selection. As long as a machine always runs...
The idea I had was to take two of the swash rips and hybrid both together, the outcome is better than both were originally. A surprise side effect of the conversion is that the damn thing now has a...
Hey Bill welcome to the forum, are you thinking about tattooing with rotaries, building or both? Before I retired I enjoyed your inks a lot, do you still sell pigments in powder form?
An old friend of mine is a China machine freak, he buys them in bulk on ebay when they are at 2.00 with free shipping or something or another. Of course he's rough on machines or anything else within...
Hitler stole the swastika from the Bon religion, in Buddhism it represents the mind seal of enlightenment. There are many large Buddha statues in the East that have the Buddha with a swastika on his...
I thought they were the same size as a skate bearing...I imagine the only reason they need lube in the first place, is the high rpms centrifugal force pulls all the grease in the bearing to the outer...
If you don't want to deal with wet and oily you could always opt for graphite on slider type machines. Swash bearings are almost identical to skateboard bearings...I am not sure what race design is...
If you read the fine print it says: "Anal rape NOT included." So buyer beware...
I like your work and artistic ability, there's something about that skull I have never liked and am at a loss of words as to why, it seems to be rooted in some instinctual, primal, and yet...
Many machine builders are small entities they are not multinational corporations. They don't lobby corrupt government electorates to further their agendas. If corporate evil is the argument then what...
Anyone else wonder where Cheeta and Jane were while reading this thread? I swear I felt my forehead go Cromagnon for a minute. People that rip off machines take several shortcuts, they don't put any...
Sorry, I was around just taking care of this green lady and beaming down some red shirts. I'd say if you're not having issues with rotary strike and what you're trying to accomplish, then don't think...
Geezer, the same thing can be accomplished by flipping your clip cord on the machine, so there's really no need to change hand motion in the opposite direction to get the preferred strike. If your...
Maybe this is an easier way to think of rotation...if you were to place clock hands on the motor shaft which way would the clock run? (Also note you do not tell time by standing behind a clock)...
The way to know for certain is get a digital volt meter, set to to Ohms, if your clip cord isn't marked touch one lead to one of the clips, then touch the other lead to the other clip, if the number...
Anodizing is a very strong durable finish, stronger than paint, its a sped up oxidation of the metal using dyes and electrodes. My guess is that the machine had surface oils or something that...
