Hi all, im looking to build a tattoo arm rest. I have a basic drawing of how it will be and am looking for advice.
the basic idea is this:
It will be a little different to this. I want to build it from 2mm, 3/4 inch mild steel box section but not sure what size box section ill need to fit inside the 3/4 inch to allow for height adjustment. Also, is 2mm 3/4 inch sufficient for stability etc?
I am planning on height adjsutment and angle adjustment of the leather clad foam base on the top. Angle adjustment will be 2 x 2mm steel sheets, welded onto a base screwed to the top foam base. This will snugly slot around the box section, with a nut welded onto the outside of one of the sheets and a bolt though to create a sort of clamp. similar idea with the height adjustment but more of a grub screw idea. Just looking for you opinions and advice really, as a tattooist i will be getting someone to do the welding for me (im in the worcestershire area if anyone knows of anyone) but want to get all the materials etc sorted myself as i want certain bits etc etc.
thanks in advance!
