you could. not everything has to be high dollar hand fitted brass and machined bronze fittings.

I think you could do a lot with simpler materials and a few creative ideas

Sorry, but precious metals and fantastic woods are the essence of Steampunk creations. You can't do it with tin and plywood.

Not necessarily steampunk, but servicing a similar interest...VINTAGE SCIENCE. Thank you Flickr!

From Tref's thread on abandoned buildings, I poked around the site and found a place in Ryhope, England that EH needs to raid:

Quote:
Ryhope, England is home to an abandoned water pumping station that almost seems like a retrofuturistic structure straight out of a cyberpunk novel. This deserted structure is a monument to the Victorian era of industrialization, dating back to the middle of the 19th Century. It was an important step in the modernization of clean water distribution in an era where urban densification and disease went hand in hand. Though the station is no longer in active use all of the machinery still works, a true testament to the capabilities of Victorian English engineers.


I found this place here.

A guy talks about his steampunk projects. I'd watch through to the end.

I'd be interested in seeing the H. G. Wells sketchbook that he mentions. Keep it brassy!

Hehe. Authenticity!

after seeing (and napping in the loving shade of) the steampunk treehouse, I think I can effectively disagree with that statement. it was raw, rusted, funky and beautiful. no precious metals or exotic woods anywhere to be seen

Let there be steampunk lights.
