Steampunk keyboard

brute_force, you really need to go take a look at THIS.

Wow.

ETA: I didn't realize arden_ranger had it friendslocked.



Jake von Slatt, proprietor of the Steampunk Workshop, made this magnificent keyboard from a 1989 IBM Model M keyboard, cut brass, and antique typewriter keys. He posted his build notes online so you can make one too. Jake is profiled in the new issue of MAKE:, Vol. 09.

Susannah Spock and her blue or green crew cuts, yeah!

Mine is eleven now and the current hairstyle is a growing-out pixie cut with the bangs and some of the crown Atomic Red.

Remember JJ Gonson and the black with fuschia bangs?

I had a sneaky strategy -- support my daughter declaring that she was going vegetarian, allow her the funky hair colors, guide her taste in music a little, and maybe she'd discover straight edge and think it was her own idea. It WORKED -- black magic marker X on her hand right now. I WIN.
