Workshop courses.

Build your own tremolo arm

For several years I used to run workshop day courses for tattoo artists to come and build their own machines, they were very successful and I was the only person in the world offering this, at least until a couple of people tried to copy me but not to the same depth of engineering, mostly just assembly.

So..... Here we are.

As I rarely build tattoo machines due to other projects as well as the RS guitar custom tremolo arms, I now have time to offer you the opportunity to come and make your own tremolo arm. Read on....

What's involved ?

I will guide you through the entire process and as I make each individual part, you will then make your own under my guidance. You will learn to use a lathe, a pillar drill, a grinder, a metal bender, a polishing machine and even an engraver should you choose that custom option. I will also teach you to use my oxy propane brazing rig for silver brazing parts together or even teach you to TIG weld if you choose to make an all stainless trem.

How long does it take ?

There's not really a set time limit but allow probably 3 hours , give or take.

How much does it cost ?

Right, the total cost is £100. That includes everything, use of all my tooling, the gas, the knowledge and the actual tremolo arm that you make which usually costs £45 on its own. Plus, a cup of tea or fizzy drink.

It is great fun, no pressure, no attitude. One on one, not enough room for more so you get individual attention. I am not trying to change the world, just the tiniest part of it that I enjoy and I like to share engineering knowledge.
