Steam Punk?

[woodandsteel]

A friend of mine told me he makes and sells a lot of steampunk stuff. His website is http://www.magnolialeatherworks.com , though it doesn't look like he has much on his site at the moment.

You should join up at Brass Goggles and check their Tactile section. It is the number one steampunk forum out there.

Thanks :-)

If I remeber right, (it is a while back when I still lived in the US) I got them from OTB. They also have a website for private people called Elf-something...Someone please help me out here

Another cool shop for doodads to add to Steampunk items is: http://www.stanleylondon.com

Compasses, sextants, boatswain whistles, mini-telescopes, etc.

One thing that I thought was kind of neat was their Stainless Steel collapsible drinking cups in the pocket watch case.

Not cheap but kind of cool nonetheless.

I must say all though this isn't my cup of tea, it seems like a cool and interesting sub culture.

I can see a niche market for steam punk leather vests here.

Gawdzilla, the vests, vambraces (cowboy cuffs), hats, and wrist bands are the main items sold at most of the conventions I have attended.

Cool. I'll have to see what the community is like in St. Louis.

Thanks, all!

BTW, was "Golden Compass" a steam punk movie?

Very much so. Some excellent examples of goods and gear in that movie.

Although, I don't recall that Steam was the major power source, but the means of transport, etc. definitely are in the realm.
