Got Dan.s springer today. Worked all day with it. There is something just a little more raw about a hand made machine. Trying to figure out what exactly it is, the weight, the sound, I dunno, Anyway this design is pretty nuts. The spring is actually a real hacksaw with teeth! Probably not the best for cleaning but a cool touch for the prototype. The Spring Certainly works for the give everyone is talking about.
My feeling so far is that because of the amount of give this particular spring actually has it would be best suited as a soft shader even though it hits hard as hell. Still working that out. I only worked on dark skin clients today so I'll need to see how it heals and try it on some white folks to really see whats what. (between the welting and lack of contrast sometimes its hard to se whats what on darker skin)
Anyway here i something I started today. All the soft shading was done with dan's springer but I used the med stroke neotat for the halo.
