Oh I'm ignoring it, I just thought you might want to try to block him or something.

It's kind of suspicious but I would need more info than that to take it to the next level.

I received the same request via top secret PM.
I sent him a pic of my wood handled chisel & hammer.... Disassembled of course so he can see how it works!! Hope that helps!!

Sam, if someone who isn't me were to get this message I think that person would probably reprimand the offenders and point out that this request would be unethical to ask or fill. Unofficially of course, not as a representative of this forum.

This person who PMs is offering to build a handpiece in exchange for breakdown photos and measurements?

Maybe an attempt for an cheap ripoff. Tired of seeing great inventors spend time and effort to make a great product then see a cheap ripoff on ebay stealing their ideas. As a tattoo artist, I see many cheap tattoo machines trying to be sold like that on ebay and cheap catalogs. Long live American inventors. Send them this link! http://electricpen.org/

if one were to cooperate with this jerk, i dare say you'd likely never get your "free" unit.

I got one too so here it is so those that care can see exactly what he's asking...

"Hello dear Tim! I am writing you in the hope that you can help me! I wanted to handle Lindsay PalmControl, but I need the dimensions of parts. I live where people can not afford to buy it. We humans live with wage $ 140-150 per month.I want to make for yourself an engraver. You can take pictures from all sides intrumentah in disassembled condition? Is it possible to disassemble itself PalmControl? I can pay ...... I would be grateful for any help and support.. Sincerely Gasan."

That was a great reply Weldon. I should have sent a pic of a rock and horseshoe nail...

Give us his email address so we can bombard him with bulls..t emails. It will be fun. I would love to send him bunches of pictures of gravers stuck in various wood handles.
