I know Steampunk doesn't get a lot of love around here, but I've just finished building this lamp as a Christmas present...

I'm most of the way through making a medieval-styled crossbow at the moment. Just completed the trigger mechanism, & now I'm waiting for the linseed oil to dry on the wood, before final assembly. It's pretty large, seeing as I didn't measure the leaf spring the bow is made from before I started. I finished that, then realised I had to scale everything up to fit the draw length, so it's about 25% oversized...    However, having the same draw weight with a longer powerstroke means a more efficient bow, so it'll probably work out in the end.

Well, I just finished my first major stick welding metal project, a bookcase to replace an old one in our home "library". The frame is 20x3mm angle steel, with 3mm brackets on the corners. The "rivets" are actually big blobs of stick weld, because gently caress trying to find round-head rivets in NZ. The wood shelving is rescued from an old pallet. I rusted the surface with vinegar & mustard, then clear-coated it to seal it from rusting further, & from rubbing off on stuff. I'm pretty happy with how it came out, seeing as I have only a cheap-rear end Chinese hobby stick welder & a small bit of level garage floor...
