1stMate Matt Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I found a gold mine last year while making some sculpture. Smallparts.com They also send out a free catalog. All kinds of gears and workings to make your steampunk creations. -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I'll have to check them out. I gave up trying to get stuff like clock gears/parts on eBay, as now that they are so collectible, the prices are off the chart. Same for old keys, watch fobs, etc. I used to get old keys for 50 cents or so for five or six. Now I'm lucky if I can find them under $4 each, or more. Crazy! Since GP is such a small town, I figured I could go into the local mom & pop clock repair place and get stuff. Wrong! I was informed that there wasn't any broken or leftover bits, because the owners daughter made jewelry for Steampunkers and sold it on eBay. Go figure! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.

Ransom Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I hit Optical, Out and About, and Militaria............OMG, what kewl stuff. And the prices are so reasonable. Even if you didn't order anything, just reading their descriptions of each item is a kick. Some had me laughing out loud. Thanks, Jamie, for such a great, fun site. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

oderlesseye Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I found very reasonable Pocket watches for around Ten dollars on this site.. I Got two from them.. Nice for the price I found American Science & Surplus a few weeks ago when Eye was looking for a test tube for my gun. The prices are not too bad but when you order they stick it to ya for the shipping. http://www.myspace.com/oderlesseyehttp://www.facebook....esseye?ref=nameHangin at Execution dock awaits.
