frame materials

[johnnynotoes]

just thinking about this after reading the machine tweaks forum, whats the limit on what you could use as material for a frame?

[sac4life]

there is no limit as long as you have a good solid yoke

[black raven]

yep, they have used pretty much everything, wood , bakelite,bone,....you name it....

Bernhard is a machine deity sent from the heavens. this man builds some of the most awsome and innovative machines on the planet, period. i have several machines that he built for me about 5 years ago and still are my daily drivers. matter of fact, i need to get a couple more. no, they are not pricey, actually very fair for what you are getting. they never break, and his coils are second to none. i wish i had the talent that this man has in one fingernail.
however, these machines are not for the faint of heart, most are stroked out and set up old school style and in inexpereinced hands you will do some damage.

good link man. some of the machines he makes hella remind me of spider webb's machines.

Seriously, no one else out there that ive seen is putting out machines like bernhard's. i love how he cannibalizes parts from stuff like old door bells and shit and uses them to make his machines. and apart from some other 400-500 ive seen his definitely seem to make up for the cost in performance. thanks for the comment man im sure as hell going to keep saving up for one of his machines.

cool dude, let me know when you get them .......
