    Tendinitis

    This was it. I needed to keep my wrist straight. I used the compression band, but because I was still working so hard I pulled a muscle in my forearm. I took almost 3 weeks off work I did a couple tattoos with a lot of breaks I could tattoo for about an hour. I just tattooed for four hours using...

    Tendinitis

    I’ll give that a shot, I’ve done keto a few times and my body reacts very well to it. I can definitely eat bacon and eggs and avocados every day haha.

    Tendinitis

    That’s interesting because I notice more pain when my elbow is touching my side. It could be that my issue is more related to tattooing. My doctor told me to get some voltaren and to rest.

    Tendinitis

    Anyone have any tips or tricks to help with “tennis elbow”? Update; after seeing a doctor I was told it’s a “repetitive stress injury” and not tendinitis. I guess I’ve been going too hard with drawing/tattooing/engraving. Doctor prescribed rest, ice, and ibuprofen.

    Drill press base

    Just thought this before and after might be helpful for someone using a drill press stand. Working on this hammer was getting annoying when it bumped into the post. Pretty straight forward, just measure twice, disassemble, cut, and reassemble.

    Background dots

    I bought dot punches, not realizing a beading tool is what I wanted. I think?

    Background dots

    I’m trying to make this background effect shown in this picture. I’ve tried a dot punch, but it broke pretty quickly and didn’t really give the effect either. I tried making a shallow punch but I couldn’t polish the inside so it makes the dot rough. Any help would be appreciated.

    Drill press base

    I still need a turntable, I’m using a cake decorator spin thing that’s not terrible but there’s a little play. Thanks for the help everyone!

    Drill press base

    Awesome I just picked up the exact same stand from that video for $170 off OfferUp. I now understand how it spins. Thanks for the help everyone.

    Drill press base

    I’m a little confused where the bearings would go, but I’m hopefully picking up a stand this week then I might have a better understanding. If you have pictures it would be helpful but I appreciate your response.

    Drill press base

    I’ve noticed some drill press based being used for an adjustable stand. What size do you recommend? Do you just take off the drill part?

    Critique Request A fresh idea

    I’m pretty new to engraving but I think it looks good. Like Danny said, put it on some practice metal. Once you get in on metal you might notice something to change.
