Semper Partum – Always Creating
First coat of primer paint… … Starting to look like the real thing. A little light sanding before the second coat goes on. Now, my MS is not really operational. That is, it does not dispense the fortune slips. It does however have a working/spring loaded lever and will collect all the pennies you put…
I’ve had many requests.. …from TZ fans to help them build their own Mystic Seer. Below, I’ve provide some detailed drawings and in progress construction pictures. I will try to add additional information as I have time. Send me a note if you have any particular questions. Now, my MS is not really operational. That…

Steampunk is about pipes, gauges, knobs and valves. The neat thing about incorporating a water faucet knob into a steampunk lamp design is that you can use it as the on/off switch. Being electrically inclined I figured there was some means to make this happen. Turning to the internet, I found a few places showing…
