Hi guys,
I am new to this forum (and I would say to forums in general as a participant).I gave up working as an “artist” a while ago. After going through the hard miles of apprentice ship and working in a couple if studios, I had to stop working as due to an accident I was not any longer able to pull a straight line or sit and work for longer than a few minutes without getting the shakes. I tried to switch to the other hand, but that didn’t work.
So instead I moved into the technical side of the art and am building, repairing and modifying machines, components, power supplies (to a certain degree), pedals, just everything except of ink.
Looking forward to reading lots of interesting stuff
All the best

Hi,
I do both. It really depends what I want to do. For example I had a customer who wanted a series of foot pedal with the insignia of his “club”. had to do something from scratch there -used copper, aged it, then plated it and took off (with a laser engraver) the plating to show the insigna. The need for modification is really restricted, but I like to use an imported stainless steel foot pedal. I replace all the guts (switch, cable, plugs) and make custom depressor (that’s what I call the bit you push down with your foot and activates the switch). The pedal I am doing now this week calls for a clear resin with suspended LEDs being always on when connected in the shape of a heart – in neon blue.Another common modification is to change the pressure switch with an off/on switch and then there is the usual repair.
