that's an intelligent way of placing the "front" spring on a reverse machine. I'm sick of seeing tons of these with abused springs!

nice to find you here Larry, I know this thread is quite old, but I don't visit the forum very often. cheers mate! always amazed to see your machines!

haha excellent idea, I could sleep with a few of these under my pillow! :D

They're really beautiful, very clever thing to do with machines. I take it the frames are a bit heavier though?

sorry citattooing, I didn't read this before, I didn't receive any notification of your reply.

if you are talking about the damascus machines, yes, they can be slightly heavier, but just a little. All depends on the thickness of the plate, and I like to keep them not too thick.

Bienvenidos, Fabio!

thank you, hogg!

Welcome!! I really like those folded steel frames, did you smith those yourself?

no, mate, too difficult for me to make damascus, I just buy the billets and work with them.

Hello, I'm Fabio Méndez from Santander, small city on the north coast of Spain. Some of you may know me from other forums or social networks, and for the handmade tattoo machines I build. I started tattooing in 1996-97, though I've been more focused on building during the last years and that's what I mainly do now.

I found this forum casually and decided to try it. I haven't checked all sections yet, but I hope to have a good time here, meet a few nice people, and why not, expanding my business.

If interested, you can check my work at my personal website www.fabiomendez.com, my Facebook page, or Instagram.

Cheers everybody!
