Keeping a steampunk feel, I made a brass base with tubing supports and a chimney with stopcocks.
I made the towers of stained glass and gave the base a gold foil coating in textured detail.
Steampunk elements are incorporated in the Steampunk Clock such as the brass and copper tubing and levers.
This was my first foray into the Steampunk art genre. First thing I made is a brass frame out of some angle material.
Working on the wood base and preparing the electrical wiring underneath.
I built a brass box that would hold the clock mechanism and face and installed the light fittings and some fluorescent lamps.
In keeping with the industrial look, I made the legs for the frame out of angle material.
With 'artistic judgment' comes fluctuating decisions, doubt, decisions in choosing the stained glass colors.
The rest is basic stained glass work, namely cutting, foiling and soldering.
I heat colored the copper clock face and set some glass stones that I cut into silver tubes which were soldered into the face.
I soldered in a top lattice of copper and brass plumbing fittings.
I used gold foil to texture the bottom.
I made some funky clock hands out old brass .
