RJ Flowers American Atti2udes Customs what’s the tool your using to line up your springs ? Please in box me on Facebook or my email is richardstone85@icloud.com
RJ Flowers American Atti2udes Customs would you consider or recommend filing down the point on that contact screw? Or cut that sharp tip off for a larger maybe more rounded contact point?
how can i fix my tattoo machine power sopply working but machine not some time machine hit but contact post and front spring not working can you help me
Cool video...where do you get better coils ? Id love to build a whole machine..from bought parts..new frame..coils..springs and arm bar...etc...where to get cheaper but good parts ro try building..?
Nothing wrong with shims 95% of hand made machines will have them some of the best machines need them anyway to have the perfect height for the armature bar I'm not saying 7 shims bahahha but like 1 or 2 depending on the thickness
Once again another UA-cam video about "how to set a tattoo machine" that failed to cover the very important proper stroke length between a liner and shader. A good liner should be under 3.5mm and a good shader over 3.5mm none of which was addressed in this video
This dude stole a frame design from my mentor. It's too bad you've passed away otherwise you would have had a good talking to about being a damn thief.
By far one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen to get your crappy china machine actually working 👍🏻 thanks for the knowledge my friend ! Keep doing what your doing !
Awesome video bud. It helps out with us newbies who buy the china crap in our quest of "Do i have what it takes & Do i like" before making the commitment of forking out for quality equipment. I just got my crap kit yesterday so my adventure begins. Thanks for a good start. Cheers
@Kenny Venegas the cheap machines have a place through, for learning technique basics, for how the gun handles, hell for what I have been doing with a tattoo gun they're perfect. (I work on leather doing a few things and am just dipping a toe into tattooing as an option compared to tooling work) I have no idea if I will EVER tattoo a person honestly I doubt it however.
@Kenny Venegas -rolls eyes- you're as bad as the guys who stroke out hearing clip used as a term for magazine. If a term has existed in the lexis for oh.... 60 years at least you have to accept that it has become part of the language of the industry. That's one of the joys of English, it's descriptive so the use of a term is the origin of the meaning rather than it being set in stone and never changing. I know tattooists who have been working since the late 70's who use the term gun deal with it. Getting whiny about it is ridiculous. Also just because you dropped more money on your first kit, looking down on the cheap entrypoints to the hobby just make you look a tool gatekeeping. Are these something that you should use on a paying client, nah probably not, are they something that has a use for a basic kit to learn some skills or do specific things. Yeah they're fine for that. You could do more useful things, recommending decent entry level setups, suppliers that aren't utterly worthless or insanely arrogant etc but instead you're just going to sit and sneer. If people are buying a basic China kit that's better than idiots making prison machines (just) given the amount of guides on the web for that now. Hopefully they will find actual decent information that emphasises safety and quality of work/skills training and that increase in access to information improves the standard of tattooing in the long term. As for me a China machine does pretty much everything I need it to do while I decide if the final product is something that I want to spend the time working on Vs spending the time working on my tooling. Dropping 50$ to try it isn't a big deal and could lead to a 500$ tool purchase in 6 months or so, not having access to the 50$ setup means I probably wouldn't have bothered broadening my skillset and toolset to do something that I will probably only use on 5-10 pieces a year at most unless I really get grabbed by a particular art style that favours it obviously.
@Kenny Venegas stop whining about everything, face it..tattooing is not a secret cult anymore.. anyone who has the means and the determination with proper knowledge can do it these
Hey guy this is just awsome I agree with the masses maybe it's best to save your money and buy a decent machine but I have actually baught many Chinese machines with few modifications they run like a champ and have some really nice frames and yes machine makers are gonna hate this video show casing the fact that yea you can make these machines work and the way you explain things is so easy to under stand I especially like how you described the grip you hold your machine i do the same but that would have been useful a year ago when I was learning and you tubing everything to learn keep the videos coming please
I wind my own coils being the coils and springs are a big part to make it run right.when i do the video on coil winding you like it being i built my own coil winder,,lol
The first thing you made tighter. That gold screw onto a black plate. What do you do there does it need to be tight to that plate or a bit loose. Or touching all the time. Please let me know I really appreciate it if you could help I'm new to this and have bought myself a machine and its not going to gather it might be the gold screw that touches the black plate. Can you help
Hey, great info, but I was having trouble seeing what you were showing sometimes because of the camera angle. Really great info though, I'm just starting to build as a hobby, but I never thought about testing the tension with a scale, that was cool to learn. Do you think it's a good idea to sand the contact side of the armature bar smooth/flat? Or if it's painted
I was a bit confused on the spring. Although I'm totally new to this... maybe why I didn't understand. IDK but Thank you ffg or this Vid- this has helped me on so many levels!! I'm actually waiting on a UberSea machine now to practice w.. I see I best go back on & get a parts kit too🤦♀️🤷♀️ Headed to watch more of hu our Vids 1st😉😀😘
I am a small tattoo artist, I have a coil machine. Sir, I am in great difficulty. I hope you will help me. It is very difficult that when I put tattoos on the wire machine, then that machine does not run and when I come back, then I run again, then in the diameter, Absolutely fine, I do not understand, there is a malfunction in the head machine or there is a problem with the wire or malfunction in the diameter, please help me.
When learning on the basic kits on synthetic skin or leather I can see all the issues being frustrating and turning people off before ever dropping the money on something decent. Entry level tools need to function acceptably and a machine he has gone through and done this work too will do quite nicely as an abusable practice machine.
I got one from Amazon set it all up started working then suddenly just stopped any idea on what's going on loool I checked the other one that came with it and didn't work either so idk what to do
The main problem with these is the coil wires usually is aluminium Coated and not even copper. Buy a cheap kit then purchase a set of good coils or make some with proper wire and change the caps
Yeah the thing behind this was the cheapest way to just get it to work over having a paper weight,the best way is to just but a great hand built machine,,oh wait thats what I sell lol
I am working on a video on to layer coils properly from the start to the end being no one show anything like that I want to go from but on the kapton tape to the washers to the layering and putting on the capacitor,,lol keep and eye out it will up in about a week
RJ Flowers American Atti2udes Customs Great stuff will keep an eye out. Have you played with different gauge wire yet ? I tried 2 different thicknesses. And got different results. Similar to how shader and liner coils work
Oh of course .knowing that larger wire will lower your resistance in which will lower operating voltage and will give you better control..lol I am working on making coil cores that are not standard to the norm of that 5/16 to move up 1 decimal to a true 3/8 with a real 1/2 top ..and now with my full costume machine i making my springs and armbars...and making side plates tube vices and spring decks from copper ,the first few idid with a steel zframe you can see in the pictures and now as you see building them from copppppper lol facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156577110652244&set=pcb.10156577112332244&type=3&theater

Can you explain your setup and how to check spring tension with a scale? I don't have a tension guage so it would be a huge help.
I have explained everything in the video ..is there something you missed
How did you make the bar to check it? Is there any technique to getting a consistent accurate measurement?
Its a needle bar bent to make it fit right..easy
how can i fix my tattoo machine power sopply working but machine not some time machine hit but contact post and front spring not working
can you help me
Cool video...where do you get better coils ? Id love to build a whole machine..from bought parts..new frame..coils..springs and arm bar...etc...where to get cheaper but good parts ro try building..?
Machine builders do not buy springs, they make them. And a machine with true geometry won't need shims either.
Nothing wrong with shims 95% of hand made machines will have them some of the best machines need them anyway to have the perfect height for the armature bar I'm not saying 7 shims bahahha but like 1 or 2 depending on the thickness

Liner 3mm shader 3.5 color packer 4mm

He passed away ?
@@biggwh57pty13 yeah
Watching from Belize....Great vid...here in my town other artists just hate and can't elevate their work.

and when your ready for a great machine.. remember me I build custom machines
did you see this one..... ua-cam.com/video/Ry0VVgY7XfU/v-deo.html

U want the machine to bog. Down when it touches skin
I never knew you could make a tatoo machine from stuff you find in the averarge doorbell, well the coils anyway
I wind my own coils being the coils and springs are a big part to make it run right.when i do the video on coil winding you like it being i built my own coil winder,,lol
Where do you get the magnet wire skycraft or some place online?
Buy it online in spools ..I use all new stuff and its made for making coils,,,
ua-cam.com/video/Ry0VVgY7XfU/v-deo.html

Please let me know I really appreciate it if you could help I'm new to this and have bought myself a machine and its not going to gather it might be the gold screw that touches the black plate. Can you help
what power supply is that, please. Great vid. Ill have to clean the cobwebs of my cheapo now.
Hey, great info, but I was having trouble seeing what you were showing sometimes because of the camera angle. Really great info though, I'm just starting to build as a hobby, but I never thought about testing the tension with a scale, that was cool to learn.

Fantastic, time to tune the coils! Although I am loving my wireless mast but there just something special about a coil machine. Thank you.
I was a bit confused on the spring. Although I'm totally new to this... maybe why I didn't understand. IDK but Thank you ffg or this Vid- this has helped me on so many levels!! I'm actually waiting on a UberSea machine now to practice w.. I see I best go back on & get a parts kit too🤦♀️🤷♀️ Headed to watch more of hu our Vids 1st😉😀😘
Unbags Chinese machines. *screams in hepatitis*
Hey mr. Johny gault
I had a $10 machine that pack color better than a $200 machine after i rebuilt it
love it
The spring and scale, what was that for? It was measuring the pressure of your hand too? How can you tell what the spring was
yeah
Do you still make custom coil machine's one for power lining
I am a small tattoo artist, I have a coil machine.
Sir, I am in great difficulty. I hope you will help me. It is very difficult that when I put tattoos on the wire machine, then that machine does not run and when I come back, then I run again, then in the diameter, Absolutely fine, I do not understand, there is a malfunction in the head machine or there is a problem with the wire or malfunction in the diameter, please help me.
It's your coils. They heat up and dont work
Pretty good, but that's not a cutback. It's still facing fwd.
Looks great nice power supply!
The power supply is nice after replacing the cord that only had about 3 wires in each one and the ground was
a dummy no wire at all..lol
Can you tell me what bar and springs you bought
How to make a 1coil tattoo. Machines
can... Tattoo... With it but i wouldn't want to at all.... lol
May I know where can I buy spring and bar ?
Great job
Thanks man,,,
other tattoo machine makers gonna hate this video
Awsome video man ty so much
Thank u buddy for the advice
I just bought my first machine, it's a cheapo kit but the arm bar & needle don't move at alllll and the copper screw sparks when it touches the bar
Watch a vid on how to tune a coil machine, everything is fine, you just need to tune it.
Ive watched multiple and I still can't get it 😅 sometimes it sparks other times it makes the noise like it's trying to go but still nothing
@@alyxxstirling2422 turn up the power and set the screw perpendicular to the bar it's touching, dont go to the tip of it as they do
I'll definitely give that a shot! Thank you
What’s the tool your use ing to line your springs
spring alignment tool
Why bother...
When learning on the basic kits on synthetic skin or leather I can see all the issues being frustrating and turning people off before ever dropping the money on something decent.
Entry level tools need to function acceptably and a machine he has gone through and done this work too will do quite nicely as an abusable practice machine.
Could you do a shader please?
I am going to one like the liner one I just posted last night all on a shader and then I am doing one on a color machine .. so keep and eye out
American Atti2udes Studio 29 / RJ Flowers i will give you a follow. Thanx
I got one from Amazon set it all up started working then suddenly just stopped any idea on what's going on loool I checked the other one that came with it and didn't work either so idk what to do
Looks like a cheap,fake Chinese tattoo machine
Very good you get it,,lol..thats what it is..lol
The main problem with these is the coil wires usually is aluminium Coated and not even copper.
Buy a cheap kit then purchase a set of good coils or make some with proper wire and change the caps
Yeah the thing behind this was the cheapest way to just get it to work over having a paper weight,the best way is to just but a great hand built machine,,oh wait thats what I sell lol
I am working on a video on to layer coils properly from the start to the end being no one show anything like that I want to go from but on the kapton tape to the washers to the layering and putting on the capacitor,,lol keep and eye out it will up in about a week
RJ Flowers American Atti2udes Customs
Great stuff will keep an eye out.
Have you played with different gauge wire yet ?
I tried 2 different thicknesses.
And got different results. Similar to how shader and liner coils work
Oh of course .knowing that larger wire will lower your resistance in which will lower operating voltage and will give you better control..lol I am working on making coil cores that are not standard to the norm of that 5/16 to move up 1 decimal to a true 3/8 with a real 1/2 top ..and now with my full costume machine i making my springs and armbars...and making side plates tube vices and spring decks from copper ,the first few idid with a steel zframe you can see in the pictures and now as you see building them from copppppper lol facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156577110652244&set=pcb.10156577112332244&type=3&theater
He called the wire aluminum it's copper bro come on this vid is a joke
Yup, Chinese use aluminum wire for the coils
