What Would You Do to Create a New and Better Society?

2015-02-12T15:45:17.950Z

I am entertaining the notion about what we Steampunks might do in the event that an EMP pulse takes out all technology worldwide. Rather than an end of the world scenario. If the Steampunks were to rebuild, exactly what might everyone do to make that happen? What creations might you bring to the fore and what might you ressurrect? For me, firstly, I see gas lamps in the future to light our way. What would you bring about or create? What sort of society might you envision yourself living in?

Keep in mind that I am looking for real world solutions please. Thanks all! :-)

So Creative!

Dr. Steam's Clockwork Machine

2015-02-09T18:17:44.238Z

Dear readers

This gadget I created some days ago, after I found a very nice old and unknown clockwork.
After fixing the gears it runs again, so I had to create an unique stand to place this machine in my STEAMPUNK Saloon.
The wooden box is from Cuba and contained very good cigars, all the other parts I got from the junk yard.
Because glass always looks very nice in combination with brass and wood I places two old broken light bulbs on the top of the huge brass water valve covers.
The vintage clock face I used is from a BENTIMA clock from England.

Sincerely yours

Dan Aetherman aka The Chocolatist

Steampunk Frankenstein Released on Amazon!

2015-02-06T04:49:37.302Z

It has been a long road--but we can finally say that our mircobudget film has been released! Our steampunk version of Frankenstein went to 30+ sci-fi conventions and film fests and we're in awe. Thank you all who watched it at one of the conventions. Right now, in it's early days. The MOST important thing for our film is ratings. Please give an honest review of the film (considering budget size). Share and tweet! Ratings in the next week are crucial for the film’s ability to show up in the new releases Amazon listing.

Unless you saw the film outside of Comicpalooza OR one of the Mensa meetings--you saw the unabridged version of the film. We've released a 86 minute (28 minutes shorter) version of the film on Amazon.

February is our month.

Please help us out!
**Amazon**
For some reason Amazon separated the streaming vs the DVD reviews. If you review for one it won't show up for the other. No idea why.

What do you think the Time Traveler was carrying in his knapsack when he returned to the time machine for the second time?

Glue and Adhesive Question

2015-01-22T01:22:11.074Z

Does anyone have any suggestions about what kind of adhesives to use when making objects like the ones depicted in my pictures? I've been using E6000 but find it increasing difficult to work with especially when I'm working on small, detailed creations. It's great for gluing big gears together and affixing things to bases, but for delicate work it is less than ideal. I've been very unhappy with the last few things I've made because they just look "sloppy" and I just can't clean them up properly. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I feel like taking my little VW Beetle apart and starting all over again - or maybe just starting a new one. If you don't understand what I'm talking about just take a look at that picture for an example.

I am most gratefully yours,

Steampunk Grandma

Airship Fleet

2015-01-20T03:58:50.123Z

Just posted up an album for my airship fleet. First three in the fleet are finished.

There is the Unicorn, a warship for defending the skies from the air pirates.

The Swan, a luxury cruise ship for the rich to fly in comfort.

And the Viking Raider, the choice for the air pirates.

The airships are designed to land on water to collect water to break down into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is used to fill the gas bag and the hydrogen is burned with the oxygen for power. The ships can collect lightening with the nose probe for use in breaking down the water.

An Airship Pirate Walks Into A Bar...

An airship pirate walks into a bar.

The bartender asks, "Say, pirate. Why do you have a captain's wheel down your pants?"

The pirate says, "Arrr. It's driving me nuts."
