I am once again honored to have one of my pieces featured on the amazing SteamPunk blog
"Totus Mel's Wunderkammer".  The piece that she selected this time is my newest SteamPunk diamond ring.

Please take a look at her blog ... and tell others about it!

Sleek SteamPunk Airship brooch completed!

It took a while, but here it is!

I think that it is one of my best.  The smaller of the two smoke stacks is the one that you saw me make and fit to the airship in my vblogs earlier this month.

Enjoy!    http://www.etsy.com/listing/190104252/sleek-steampunk-airship-brooch-pin

I have recently added some precious metal pieces to my SteamSmith website.

Here is the latest: Sterling Silver Airship Commander Wings with a 14k gold propeller & propeller shaft!

This is a great looking piece and reasonably priced!

video about the artist

If you would like to see me "in action," you might want to take a look at the video made by filmmaker H E Albee.  It is a little over eight minutes long.  It is biographical and includes scenes of me at work.

Take a look: http://youtu.be/KEEOey57qrw  

The completed barrel (YES, the propeller SPINS!):

SteamSmith is Over-a-Barrel!  

Well, actually, I have just been invited to work on Vermont’s Barrel Project.  Selected artists have been given Rain Barrels to transform into works of art.  The completed barrels will be displayed on Burlington’s Church Street and down-the-hill-to-the-lake (Lake Champlain) on College Street.  The idea is to raise awareness about the problem of urban run of water.

For my barrel I have chosen a SteamPunk Nautilus theme.  I will make a two dimensional (more or less) Nautilus submarine out of contrasting metals and wrap it around the barrel.  Of course there will be more to the project; additional design elements, some three dimensional work, etc.  I’ll learn more about what I am doing, as I do it!

Should be fun.

If you are in Burlington VT this summer, visit Church & College Streets, and my barrel.
