We’re still recovering from an awesome weekend at Maker Faire in San Mateo. It was an amazing experience-packed with people, blasted by intermittent high winds, and capped off with a solar eclipse. Josh ran 4 hour-long workshops on Steampunk prop making, and they all went really well.

We’re gearing up for Maker Faire, only a week away (and functionally less than that, since we leave town at the start of the week).
Josh has been scouring eBay for excellent treasures to be used in his workshop on Steampunk prop making. Highlights include a collection of vintage gauges & readouts, and a box full of optics and lenses. And we constructed a confessional-style video booth for Vintage Tomorrows.
Sunday it all goes into the pickup truck to begin the journey to San Mateo!

We’re gearing up for our first trip to the almighty Maker Faire Bay Area in a couple weeks. We will be there as part of a group of Steampunk makers & academics, under the banner of the “Steampunk Academy“. Captain Chronomek will make at least one appearance, and we’ll be holding hands-on workshops for making Steampunk props out of recycled materials.
Hope to see you there!
