In addition to supporting the unit the feet keep the back pipes and gears clear of resting directly on a countertop.
Note the scrollwork.
I wasn’t so sure about that thing on top until I watched the video, but seeing it in motion I think it works well.
That little black switch on top is the only problem I have with it, otherwise, it’s a work of art.
Kinda hard to find a ready made switch that looks accurate to the era so if a bit of slack could be cut for me I’d appreciate it. lol
You could always attach something to the top of the switch, like the switch on the movie PKE?
I just wonder if you could glue something on top of that switch to give it an antique look. The rest of it is the bomb! Trust me, I’m not criticizing your pke, mine has a flower pattern on it.
A typewriter key, perhapse? With the word/letter replaced with “On”?
Looks great!
Neato!
For size reference/comparison.
Holy shit, that’s badass!
Thank you.
It’s on ebay as of today.

Very cool, I love steampunk and this is just plain awesome :crunch:
I never use this word but thats just plain “SICK”
the design is amazing and looks like its a real gizmo from a time passed.
great job.
That’s great, very era/theme appropriate!
As for the switch, try and find a really small knife switch or a chunky toggle that you can age appropriately. Or, add a plate connected to the switch with On and an arrow on it with the proper aging.
While I’m not a fan of the whole Steampunk thing- great job on that prop it looks great.
I think it looks great - the only thing I would change is the modern switch - a brass one would really finish it off nicely.
Or just a basic toggle switch would be better, anything but that modern plastic switch.
as I said this is very awesome. I was wondering if you could help me come up with some ideas on a steampunk ghost trap. You can message me for I dont think this is a steam punk friendly place
Is it still for sale?
