So, you want to build a steampunk machine pistol?
Heck, who doesn’t want to build a steampunk machine pistol, right? Well, have I got just the video tutorial for you, dear reader. God bless the Queen and the steam regime, now pass me the bullets.
Steampunking at the SFX Weekender (and a free book for you, even if you aren’t here)
Well, here I am in a chilly cold North Wales at the SFX Weekender, Europe’s largest and best scifi con, with a great view of the beach and a sea full of oddly lovely looking wind turbines. Tomorrow at 5pm will see the steampunk panel with the UK’s leading writers in the genre. How do […]

A PC from a more elegant age
This one should delight the retropunk impulses of even the most jaded among you… the Art Deco computer, as hand-made by Jeff Stephenson over at the Slippery Skip.
