Week 1! Turnaround and Fabrication Ideating



I’m thinking of using tattoo needles to construct a line of figurines. I’ve gone back and forth on articulation, incorporating tattoo machine parts, and I think for this very first iteration, its best to stay as simple as possible in my materials. I think in the future, incorporating machine parts or even machine electronics for movement and sound will be great, but I need the form and the character and the lore first. 



What we have here is a test of my wood burning freehand ability to add some design to the blocks of the character. I wanted to just get an understanding of the rudimentary elements of the design.


Speaking of those elements

Here you’ll notice I made the bold assumption that our soldering gear on the ITP Floor would be sufficient for working with steel. It wasn’t. 


My last important element was assessing the quality of the epoxy I got for adhering the needles to the wood. It was pretty good! Even if the bit I used to drill the hole for the needle insert was too big, it held great. So that problem is solved. I think?
