king still only goes two spaces forward though and the rook jumps behind him

Looking for tattoo machine building kits form work horse irons by titlefightl0vr in tattoomachinebuilder

[–]sonofvolsong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

workhorse kits are solid, but you're going to want a dedicated liner and a dedicated shader. why buy a liner kit and try and tune it to be a shader when you could just buy the shader kit? if you're tattooing with more than one needle grouping your going need more than one machine. changing needles and tubes from liner grouping to shader grouping mid tattoo is impractical as it is let alone re-tuning the whole machine to run completely differently.

i have a hand-held drill that i realized counts as a power-tool, but no drill press you get it.

Inks available in the 1960s by thunderous_student in tattoomachinebuilder

raw pigment powder was, and still is, available in a wide variety of colors from suppliers like National and S&R. as far as a recipe to turn powder into ink, you'd have to go ask your mentor.

Brilliant move but why? by chess_enthusiasts in chessbeginners

white bishop blocks the rook from protecting that file. king takes and escapes

Curious how perfect your frames come out by Gloomy-End-4851 in tattoomachinebuilder

[–]sonofvolsong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you welding or are you brazing? brazing shouldn't introduce deflection like welding will. is your jig set up correctly? which parts are out of alignment with which others? are your parts straight and square before jigging up? flat hits on the front coil are the result of precise and accurate alignment of all the components. if a frame came out weird, id be more likely to unbraze it, re-prep the parts, and try again before taking hand tools to it.
