Default Tattoo machines...
Now, I know not everyone on these here forums is a fan of tattoos... but we are all (hopefully!) fans of cigars and related doodads...

There is a tattoo artist called Tim Hendricks, and one of his other businesses is building hand made tattoo machines... if you take a closer look at some of the photos in his galleries here, you can see he uses old cigar bands to case the electrical coils. I think this is pretty damned neat.

Nice looking machine. I like how he incorporated the old key into it as well.
