**Need Help, Wooden tattoo machine questions** Posted: 9/13/2011 8:22:25 PM

So my girl is a tattoo artist and I blow glass, but I want to make her
a hand carved tattoo machine.

The only metal being:
Coil Core
Wiring
Springs
Screws and bindings
Base Plate

But I want to know if there is any good reason why I couldn't or shouldn't
use wood. I know I'm going to have to use a really hard wood like ebony, But
do you think the force will be so strong that I will need it to be metal.

Also I'm worried about vibration. I haven't seen too many wood machines, the few
I've seen are "coated" to make it look wood, but they don't say exactly what it is made of.
I could only assume some sort of metal.

I know they make tattoo machines almost out of everything, but I want this to work as
good or better than something she could buy and gave it be personal.

Thanks!
