I see comments from people bitching about over priced machines.The machine being built is a Soba Rusto,and one of my personal faves in my collection.Remember folks,you get what you pay for.If you're happy using your chinese machines then by all means be happy,but when you're ready to step up your game and take your art to the next level,provided you have the talent to do so,invest in some real equipment.Your machines are an investment in your future,so invest wisely!

[@kowtpr187]

I just purchased the Pilot Liner and Pilot shader and they kick ass!Good basic solid machines that are reliable and live up to their name!People who I work with who have been tattooing 10 plus years said that these machines are great and they sure were right!

[@420NINJABOOT]

love my workhorses...they are exactly what the name implys,everday drivers or WORKHORSES...so many builders try to get over technical and argue over the dumbest things but cant even get geometry right.My coils are still going strong and i use the hell outa my machines for hours and hours EVERYDAY...my mickey sharpz rock too...alot of machine building and custom one-off stuff is all hype so find something you like and stick with it

[@rriggs266]

Soba Rusto...one of my favorite machines in my arsenal.

[@JoseArismendiMontero]

wow excelente maquina... sera una de las mejores para tatuar....si claro que lo son

[@TheMissing.O]

nice job guys i think many people are happyy and apiciate your work....best wishis

[@johnnyjinx5181]

Beautiful work!

[@MrDeepsea65]

@mjphx Yes I noticed that too. They are probably quite strong and sealed so are quite water tight but you do get accidents. There are some nice polycarbonate tubes which will last forever. Then again Soba is a world class machine builder.

[@ricenamese]

good machines..

[@JohnnyGault]

I'm a tattoo artist and a builder myself and it was mind blowing to see expert precision in the build and personal care taken to tune each machine, I prefer your machines over any of the other brands simply because your builders relate to REAL tattoo artists, you were in the tattoo game and learned to build because it USED to be a necessity for being a tattoo artist. Keep the old ways alive!

[@MK116Alex]

Sad they cant take the time to reply to your comment.

[@jysechashooper1610]

Where can I get a job wrapping coils. I know my way around a machine. I've been tattooing on and off 20+yrs

[@typeonegative13]

amazing, good job

[@cony_087]

Me a gustado todo tío es bien trabajado desde España yo soy tato workhorse muchas chasias

[@artemaso]

What is the difference between the material you use for the ccoil core and the traditional metal madecores?

[@kowtpr187]

I really like how these machines are made. I have a few questions. Its a steel frame correct?i like steel and brass myself. I like that it is machined. What size are the coils and how many ufs is the capacitor. They look solid!I even like the tube vice. I can't tell you how many times I have bought a good machine and was pissed because of a poorly made tube vise.

[@kowtpr187]

@mjphx the cardboard is covered with the coil wire and shrink wrap though. Its not like you are going to soak the machine in madacide.

[@thumasta666]

@mjphx both ends are capped off, and then its heat shrunk, i dont see how anything could get inside unless you are submerging it

[@Headshothorror4488]

A workhorse iron or iron workhorse from I.T.S. ? My i.t.s came good for a long stroke, to much tension but i still re-tuned it to how I tattoo and how I like them to run. Put a 18 back and a short 16 front to get a perfect flat hit on the tip of the front spring ,rolled front not bent and the o-ring puts most of the role in the spring so it works well. 90cps 50-51 % for the shortest stroke (shading) and 45% at a short/medium stroke for solid/whatever. Might switch bar to raise speed.

[@mexicanamerican21]

i dont get why the cardboard core, instead of metal

[@scramblelml_sam]

anyone know the name of this song???

[@CANNABEARDGAMING]

those coils were SLOPPY winds :(

[@legendkata]

i want to learn made it and buy it...

[@snissie]

what is the machine at 3minutes?... taking the enamelling of?

[@redman8067]

I thought y'all made these by hand guess not

[@TheKylethaw]

where is your guys' shop located?

[@necrophiliacswag5000]

That's definitely an Aaron Cain frame, it looks just like my liner

[@annalenegloria5894]

Its soba

[@billk6494]

Interesting ! :-)

[@schrobritter]

Who does this song

[@WorkhorseIrons]

@Headshothorror4488 yeah that sounds like a great idea, lets support those that commit blatant copyright infringement and use our name to sell shit Chinese knock offs....I'm sure you would appreciate some other artist copying your work and claiming it as their own....what an honorable way to conduct business.

[@cherryxiang6750]

This is Cherry from Yuelong Tattoo supply,nice to meet you. Latest we have Dragonfly machine, Swashdrive machine,Hawk Machine we recommend, do you want to updating the new one? Further comments by return would be much appreciated

[@klank69]

there's no real name for the song they wrote it specifically for the video

[@kowtpr187]

@Headshothorror4488 Workhorse Iron.. PERFECT I got the B.J. Pilot Liner and Pilot Shader. Works awesome. People who hate on workhorse irons have no clue.They might as well hate on mickey Sharps. I have no clue about the ITS.

[@MrPinstruck]

@mjphx Fall apart? Interesting...for the sake of arguement, lets just say that moisture did manage to find its way to the cardboard...it's wrapped by layers of wire and the shrink wrapped, nothing is just going to fall apart! If you don't have a clue what you are talking about, why talk? (just my opinion)

[@420NINJABOOT]

@MrPinstruck no problems here...there are alot of monday morning quarterbacks that have to nitpick to sound smart or gotta bitch about something because they cant tattoo and fall short on machine building too.machinebuilding is alot like tattooing these days...too many people think its for them and dont have a clue.This is not rocket science and shouldnt be treated as such...ppl have been making tattoo machines for a long time that run awesome and they are good simple designs

[@christopherdolsen8971]

It's amazing that these so-called "tattooers" on here can't tell the difference in Workhorse Irons and Iron Workhorse. Iron Workhorse machines are Chinese knock-offs of classic designs typically, with poor hardware, cheap coils, and low quality cast iron frames with improper geometry. I've bought some of the ones from ITS, and of the 4 that I bought, only one of them has made a decently running machine, AFTER I changed all the parts. They are not the same by any means.

[@smoker420la]

handmade? looks like machine made hand assembled, just saying.

[@allendovmeci]

respect: watch my tattoo machine video

[@calavera69]

Those coils looked poorly wrapped why would they put cardboard on the cores? just saying.

[@deanstephens5940]

Cardboard makes a great insulator. I've seen old vintage coil cores that were wrapped in news print. A good insulator is a good insulator. My preference is kapton tape, but to each their own...

[@Truddles09]

Coils were very sloppy...Pause it at 2:11 and look at all the valleys in them things...i would only buy these as paper weights or machines for my apprentice's to play with...

[@WorkhorseIrons]

agreed, this was years ago and our coils have improved immensely....sadly at the time these were still better than most available.

[@drewtattoos4176]

Workhorse Irons yeah I hope so dude , I made better coils wrapping them BY HAND LITERALLY With my 2 hands n that's it Lol , but now I don't do em by hand & my WORST coils I Spin on a $22 Power drill Are Better Than Those Ones to Be Honest But the frames are on Point

[@raulmorcillo7561]

@@WorkhorseIrons Hey I bought some coils from you when you first started out and I don't know if I got luck or what but they still work, and very well mind you, today.

[@babasogosavi9863]

बोबिन मिलेगा सर

[@MrPinstruck]

@alc84" it makes perfect since. they do that so u can have to later buy new coils when those are no good anymore. just like building cars they design parts to wear out so you have to replace them. Its called making money :) lol" this was your quote...it's VERY clear that you were talking about Soba's tattoo machine coils being made to wear out, LIKE vehicles...or were you just talking about cars for no fucking reason at all? At least TRY to make sense!

[@Headshothorror4488]

@kowtpr187 Oh, cool !! Well I dont "hate" on workhorse irons at all. Would rather just buy a solid iron workhorse machine $55 or any solid iron frame and tune it myself and save allot of wasted money. Instead of spending $400 on a machine because of the name. A iron machine is a iron machine. Names dont impress me much. I would only get FK Iron's because his shit is amazing out the box, i tried my boys out A+. Your duty was low 30's right ? I dont like that.

[@MrPinstruck]

@calavera69 Poorly wrapped? Bar none Soba makes some of the best coils out there, period! It's funny how all a number of people are jumping on what they "think" is a problem. I'd like to hear from just ONE person who can honestly say this has casued anykind of prpblem with their coil(s)..it doesn't and won't. Again, before some of you open your mouths, you might want to get close to having a clue what you are talking about.

[@ibrahimsharif3848]

Hi hi! Have you heard the talk about - Kezneks Impressive Tattoos Pop (should be on google have a look)? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my buddy makes some amazing tattoo designs and some easy money on the side from it.

[@danokan]

Nothing like over priced production machines. I've owned a few in all honesty. But this is getting ridiculous. Mass cast frames milled by a company and the only thing they do is roll their coils.. Well some of them. Seth buys his from a guy in Oregon and gets $500 per machine from rubes. Buy a real handmade machine instead.

[@ljwartuk]

Those Fkirons are a rip off! you can get the same aluminium pyro frame same aluminium binding post and aluminium screws on the world wide tattoo machine which can be bought for about $120 ok they have copied the deign but if they can sell the frame and other parts for $120 what the f@*k are you paying for with the fk irons? there $480 $360 for A bar,coils, & springs like anything else your paying for the name buy the wwt machine then kit it out with the fk stuff save about $300

[@zeffman99]

Stupid lookin machines.....
