A Steampunk Christmas

Hello Everyone,I know it's a little early but the darkness is drawing in and the wind is getting bitey and i'm starting to consider christmas presents. Does anyone have any ideas for any Steampunk stocking fillers that even the apprentice mechanic could make? I'll start with something i found last year http://www.epbot.com/2011/12/mini-hot-air-balloon-tutorial.html See More

"Well, Mr. Goo, we are now a sad little group of two. But, this is fixable...especially if we involve the ladies! The cycling rage of the 1880-90s was led by women. Let's see if we can get this party started."

Profile Information

Introduction: Hey. I’m Melvin, a bike mechanic and Classicist. I'm interested in creating functional steampunk items to be used every day or special occasions, especially steampunk bikes, but I also love the depth of fictional history in steampunk worlds and the way it interacts with real history.
