Unfortionatly I made this without taking pictures along the way, so i will try and explain how to build it

You will need:
-Wrenchs ( various Sizes)
-Spring
-Drill
-Nuts and Bolts
-Washers
-Welder
-Grinder
-Crib Board
-Wire
-Sugru

This is a very simple switch in which by pressing the wrench in contact with the base, completes the circuit and activiates your tattoo machine

Step 1: Putting It All Together

  •  first cut the crib board in half, sanded both edges round.
  • then took a 7/8 wrench, cut it by both ends taking a 2.5" section out, which is used for the base of the stand.weld both ends back togeth making a shorter wrench
  • take two other wrenches and cut them 3/4" from the open end. and tac weld them onto the wrench up at 90 degrees
  • Drill all the neccasary holes needed for the bolts i.e. two at the back. one in the centre, one for the spring one for the front base plate and two for the front legs
  • make wire hookup  tabs using nuts and bolts and welding and grinding

Step 2: Adding Sugru and Fineshing Up

  • add sugru in lock nut washers
  • add additional bolts for decoration
  • screw bolts into fron leg holes from underneith
  • weld three washers together to join a wire tab to the main pedal
  • connect other wire tab to front baseplate with a wire and cover with sugru

Step 3: Stain,Polish Up and Your Done
