DIY Steampunk Tennis Rackets look more like Ping Pong Rackets!

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Design, DoItYourself!, Gadgets, Steampunk by max on the July 17th, 2008 at 4:27 pm

DIY Steampunk Tennis Rackets look more like Ping Pong Rackets!

These DIY Steampunk Tennis Rackets do look more like ping pong rackets, don’t they?

Regardless, you can learn how to make one here.

The ball is made from a couple of carrier bags, so all in all this is a very nice little project that doesn’t require much in the way of special materials or equipment. Like with just about all my projects, a glue gun is very handy to make the project go quickly, but you can use white woodwork glue (Elmers or PVA) if you want to and you have the time and the patience to sit holding each bit while it dries.

Steampunk Cufflinks!

Posted in Art, Consumer, Cool, Design, Entertainment, Gadgets, Steampunk by max on the July 16th, 2008 at 4:24 pm

Steampunk Cufflinks!

Aww God!  It’s steampunk cufflinks I will never wear!

Brand new style! I am so pleased with how these turned out. Vintage lucite magnifying cabochons were set over old letters and genuine brass watch gears, and then sealed on the back with lacquer. Then everything was placed into gold framed cuffinks and the final effect is really stunning. Everything shifts and changes as you turn them back and forth. Don’t wear them to any important meetings - no one will be able to concentrate on what the boss is saying because all eyes will be on YOU!

Steampunk? Steel Watch Ring!

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Design, Entertainment, Gadgets, Steampunk, Watches by max on the July 12th, 2008 at 5:56 pm

Steel Watch Ring!

Here’s a really cool steel watch ring you can wear.  I am not sure if the watch itself is just for looks or it works but it’s a really cool watch ring indeed.

17 Jewels Antique Steel Watch Part with TONS of Detail and natural rubies Adjustable Ring

It has an antique steel watch part showing the detailed inner parts of the watch and all of those red stones are natural RUBIES with an oval shape. It is approx. 3/4 inch across.

The ring is an adjustable one, that starts at size 6 and can increase from there. I am a size 5 3/4 ring finger and it fits nicely on me before extending out.

Maybe its steampunk

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Funny, Gadgets, Steampunk, Watches by david on the December 24th, 2007 at 2:00 pm

This is the Vulcania, one of only eleven made, they are so rare that they do not even publish the price.

Telling the time is as normal with this watches pretty difficult but I suppose it is one of those things that you get used to, and once mastered it would probably become second nature, however this watch reminds me of an old gothic type movie for some reason.

Mp3 gets a steam punk finish

Posted in Audio, Consumer, Cool, Funny, Gadgets, Music, Steampunk, mp3 by david on the November 27th, 2007 at 6:00 am

I like steam punk stuff, but this is not one of the better ones, but the good thing about it, is the fact that the mp3 unit was actually found on the ground outside a bus station, which means if the designer had not recycled it into this it would have then been added to the land fill.

It is hard to describe something like what Khan wore on his wrist in the second Star Trek movie, but for just an mp3 player isn’t this going a little over the top or maybe not, most of the parts have been recycled too so at least they did not even end in the trash.

Steampunk iPod covers

Posted in Audio, Steampunk, USB, mp3 by david on the November 15th, 2007 at 10:00 am

This takes you back to when the iPod was just figment of Apples little eye, this steampunk version dates back to the nineteenth century, which must have been when they were designed.

But on a more serious not, these are actually covers, these give an inside look into what an old and ancient iPod would have looked like, but the music may have been a slight probe, back then!

Prices are from $14.95
