In all honestly, it took me about 2 years from wanting to design some to actually making them. I had to research what to use, where to source the quality of hardware I wanted, and then decide how I wanted them to look. The first ones I built to look like a solid cube of hardwood using a woodworking technique called an endless grain box. What looks like a solid block of wood is actually a hollow box with each side’s edge matching the grain of the next side. Pretty complicated to get all the side miter joints and the top miter joints matching precisely. From a workshop perspective, these are really tough to get right. Since I’m such a stickler for absolute quality, I was not happy with anything less than perfect corners and miter joints. The look was totally appealing and very pleased.

Further designs related to the original cube include brass columns supporting solid hardwood top and bottom with an open space in the middle. Other styles have included a beautiful hand-blown glass Dome covering a complimenting style Edison bulb, and some more free-form lathe turned bases. Very exciting genre of lighting to work with.

Features can include any number of the following:

• On/Off with Dimmer switch
• Solid brass lamp socket
• Brass hardware
• Edison bulbs (of course :-))
• Vintage Cloth Wrapped Power Cord in various awesome colors
• Hardwood
• Standard On/Off switch

Steampunk Pen

Beautifuly unique and screaming Steampunk Style! This is the same Pen I’ve been using daily for over 3 years now and it never gets old.

Some ask if all the bumps and so on are uncomfortable to hold and use, with the rivits and details. To the contrary. For me, it became sort of comfortable and welcome as I figit with it. The more you use it, the more you like it.

Details on this one are quite eye and conversation catching. This beautiful Steampunk Pen combines flat head screws, riveted design patterns, replica Gatling gun barrels, a Bolt Action mechanism plus a mixture of industrialized Antique copper, pewter and brass finishes.

Below are just a handful more pictures of the many created for many pleased and inspired customers.
