Re: Same machines or a ton of them>>>
Thats correct, I have a bunch of junk machines that were turned into gold by my coworker "The First Man" he is amazing, He knows the mechanics of this tools in & out. I'm trying to get him to build his own machines he just needs some one to build the frames to his specs.

Re: Same machines or a ton of them>>>
Partly for the history and partly because I thought they were cool looking frames I bought a set of Spider Webb machines --- holy crap do they run like SH!T!! The geometry was all wacked out I had to tear them down and re-build them just to make them usable. And so far I've only been successful with the liner, the shader still won't act properly.
So what do you guys think? Should I strip them down again and make them run properly, or should I put them back the way they came and keep them as memorabilia?

Re: Same machines or a ton of them>>>
I think Im gonna stay true to one brand I have a couple of custom machine builders machines I'd like to own but for the most part (when I start tattooing) I'm gonna buy 2 machines that are good quality machines and just use those for forever, or at least try to........

Re: Same machines or a ton of them>>>
if you wanna play around with it baltimore street irons sells the frame blanks and stuff. i think everyone should have to put together one of the soba kits from workhorse at least once just so you get an understanding of how they work.

Three guys who don't have any kind of "day late, dollar short irons " thing going on around them are Karl Hedgepath, Jason Shroder and Korie Wilson. Legit tools for legit tattooers.

Re: Same machines or a ton of them>>>
my mentor wants me to purchase the blank green machine frame from eikon> but I will also try the suggestion of Horiharisu> cant hurt anyway, but ultimately, I think I'm gonna end up with some machines from the AL line of FK Irons and those are gonna be my all the time everyday machines, I like the look of them honestly..........but I see some Aaron Cain machines, and my personal favorite builder Dan Dringenberg machine I Love the style of his machines as well.....these machines are more than likely gonna be in my arsenal........
