Switch foot... Switching feet...

I made two more switches, for left and right footed tattooers err...

The round pod foot-switch is only partially made by me, the casing is from a old switch and the rest was modified and rewired by me... pretty dope, i will be selling this one as the standard L.H.S foot-switch and will have more in stock by the end of the month in brass and silver, and will keep them in stock, they come with a 6 month warranty, unlike the custom made switches that have a lifetime warranty ... mail me at info@lighthousesupply.co.za if you are interested... I ship anywhere...

Lone rider... available.


I made this footswitch from couple of rad finds at a local second-hand market, its solid brass mounted on a wood crest, finished off with a full rubber base to not slip around.

The coins are old 1961 1/2cents, they went out of circulation in late 60's some time...
The whole footswitch is pretty original and a once off... I do engrave the buyers name on the top copper plate. its for you and you only.
I give a lifetime guarantee on the workmanship...

Selling for R1500, that's roughly about $190 excluding duties etc.
We do ship anywhere in the world

Renovations and such.

Sorry for the major delay and lack of updates.

the past two weeks have been a bit of a blur, we got the keys to the premises exactly two weeks ago to the day.
we moved furniture, stock, painted, scrubbed, put down flooring, put up prints and I made two really cool foot switches.

The one foot switch with matching clipcord I gave to David Chaston from S.O.S that is doing a guest spot in Europe at the moment and traveling with his lady friend, the other one I will have up for sale on the website this week, but it is in the hands of Bruce Johnston for a try out who is tattooing at Metal Machine.

Okay so the premises and new home of L.H.S

Here are some pictures, we are not completely finished yet, still have to move some furniture in, but you get an idea! pictures of the blacony and view to follow also the finished product of the studio!

CUSTOM MADE...

Okay so I have started designing some custom made footswitches and clipcords to match.
These are really going to be the shit. So many ideas so little materials...

Scout, Hunt, Find!!

We plan to make these to sell through L.H.S, and we will be taking custom orders too as soon as we are in the new space, and the workshop is set up...

I am busy designing a footswitch and matching clipcord that I owe to David Chaston from Sins of Style, this is really going to be something, the tits, that he will be able to use for life, if it breaks I'll fix it but I strongly doubt that it will... brass, wood and silicone cord, made to last, longer than tits, and it will age better, in fact unlike tits these will be made to age well...

Here are a couple of custom made switches that I think are pretty amazing, Jimmy Whitlock from Lucky Supply make some really impressive stuff, in fact everything they make is pretty fucking awesome including clipcords and machines.

Here they are

These are made from old morse code apparatus, and where made by
