Steampunk issue 2 is out - free download, $3 for hardcopy. I saw it and thought immediately of you. http://www.steampunkmagazine.com/
Wow, they uploaded an imposed version. That is VERY cool.
retro future doesn't have to be retrogressive!
Well, of course. But you know me, Ian— this sort of thoughtful design/print detail is far too rare, and I love it when someone takes the time to make their product as perfect and usable as possible.
Steampunk is looking forwards by looking backwards.
Genuine LOL!
Thanks. I saw that on a journal of a contributer before I think, but wasn't really paying attention. tis purty shweet.
Issue 3 is released now too. FYI
I am very tempted to by the forthcoming guide the the apocalypses. It never hurts to have a hard copy of that sort of thing
in case the web goes down first
I am in the need of new glasses... these in a progressive lens perhaps
That shit reads like a game manual.
(in case it actually is a manual for a game i haven't heard of, f u)

I was trying the electroetch last week but no luck with the transfer yet. There's a laserjet at work that should be fine, but I can't find it on our network. Gotta find old printing/ copying tech. TO THE LIBRARY!
I've tried to do the electro etching.
The transfer went pretty easily.
My problem was with the etching. I managed to get a bit of a bite into the copper, but not as deep as I'd like. I think probably my power source was insufficient. Also I was using salt water - not copper sulfate solution, so that may have affected the flow.
My first results. For scale, the wheel is about 1 inch across. So I was reasonably happy with the detail held by the transfer.

That's really awesome and the detail is impressive! :thumbsup:
I've got copper sulfate, but I built my own power supply and I'm a little nervous about using it - no idea what I was doing, but it seems to work.
oooh, that's so cool. you have be itching to try it now.
