Title: Steampunk
Post by: YoungFluff03TJ on October 27, 2010, 09:11:42 PM

Hey all.

This is a call for your help....slash garbage. Im building a 'steampunk' project for a university class and i need materials....Im looking for anything that fits into the steampunk theme and that means:
-copper
-brass
-lots of sprockets and gears. small is good. big is good. broke your gears wheelin? going to throw them out? ill take em.
-rivets
-scrap metal
anything that you might have lying around as scrap and youre thinking 'man i would just love to give this garbage away' well thats what im looking for. If you are wondering what steampunk is just google image it

....its kinda victorian style with lots of gears and dangerousness if thats a word. If you think it might work, but needs maybe a brass color thats why i have spray paint.

anything is appreciated

i cannot guarantee return but i can try
