Gearheads that aren't steampunks?
I came up with this one while looking through my "shiny parts" bin. They were shiny, and well... That's how most of my stuff starts out. :) I suppose it might appear to have more value, were these platinum plugs instead of Iridium. However.... If one knows that ALL iridium on this planet comes from asteroids which have cashed to Earth... Well, that makes it a little more interesting, right?

Steamunk in Black

My First commissioned work!
This is the finished buckle I made for MarkF from the Steampunk Forum. This unit is a similar design to the first, though there are a couple of important alterations. First, this movement actually functions, so I figured I should make it easier to service. On the original unit, I soldered the case directly to gear, and pressed the back on through the inside. On this unit, I actually soldered the back to the gear, thus allowing complete removal of the case, and in turn, the movement. Much better design, if I do say so myself.
My first Watch Project!
This is my first wearable, usable watch project. I've been working on it for a while now, but it's finally finished! Basically, I modified a pocket watch to have a couple of attachment points, then created a heavy leather band and deer skin cuff (for comfort). I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I can't wait to start on the next one!

Old Buckle Projects
The Collection
So I decided that I should have a place where I can continually add pictures and descriptions of my latest projects. Most of these are, and will continue to be Steampunk in nature. But this should also effectively illustrate what styles I have produced and my goals for each piece. Also, if you are interested in purchasing something from the collection, you can do so from one of two sources: The Etsy store or the current Ebay auctions.
