Steampunk Belt Buckle

[StopmoNick]

Look for this video on Youtube: "Just glue some gears on it, and call it steampunk".

Having said that, I like your buckle - it does at least look as if the gears might do something... and for an item of apparel I guess we can cut you some slack!

[StopmoNick]

@StopmoNick

Ooh - just watched some more, and the gears actually mesh and turn! Bravo! Guess I better go click the LIKE button.

[TasteOfTorment]

Hey, are you from the mitten?? Value world? Awesome. I shop there all the time.

Freaking awesome contraption!

[CriticCafeteria]

its not steam punk if it has no function, go look up the defintion of steampunk

[VALMARIESASK]

thanks!

[LScribeHarris]

It looked really basic...

...and then it MOVED.

[AnimeAdictProduction]

Where can i get cogs and gears?

I don't think I can find mechanical watches where I live.(not cheap anyways).

Dumpster diving(as instructed in a forum) out if the question.

There's a shop where I live where they fix TVs and radios. Maybe i'll try there

Ordering of the internet is also out of the question( parents... grrr).

And i'd feel bad about destroying still functional house appliances that are still of use.

So, any tips for finding stuff that's relatively cheap?Nothing else comes to mind.

[Jaszitaa]

oooo~ the gears turn!

that's nifty!

[Xantose]

Put a plastic case over that bad boy and add a little motor that would be sweet!

[Microglia1]

When did this steampunk craze started? I've been into this kind of stuff forever but did know there's a name for it.

[phillippibeard]

@Microglia1 It supposedly became popular in the 1980s, but in my opinion, it all began in 1965 with the television show The Wild Wild West.

[SiantDread]

that would be the shit if it spun by itself, but it would prolly get cought on your shirt lol

5 *****'s

[ishouldplayzelda]

does anyone know of any antique shops in west jordan that sells old clocks with large clockwork?

[smartalek1]

brilliance

thanx 4 sharing

looking forward to more (or should i be looking backward?)

[cyctechproductions]

interesting

[dragoons9009]

Neat.

[MikaylaTHEend]

put simply if the age of knowlege and technology happened in the Victorian Era while steam was still the only form of Energy:D

[DeXDesTrOyAzZ]

in some ways, maybe the world would be better off if it had!

we wouldnt be using as much fossil fuels n stuff...

just recently got into steampunk, luvin it

[kagowoo]

that looks reaaaally coool!!!!

may i know where u got those gears from?

[rocketman468]

some old clockwork i guess

[suirllinddracus]

lol what if when the gears spin it feeds the belt making it tighter. lol automatic belt... i might have to try that.

[RossKilgariff]

That would rock :D

[soopasnowman]

good idea XD

[zepsutysut]

i like it

[xxPenumbraxx]

it needs more work :p

[LiquidD666]

With one of those, i would spend my full time with my finger on the wheals, making them turn... looks sillyy isnt ? You should put some battery on it :D

[m3gadork]

I NEED IT!!!!!

[snager80]

aww, it's not moving. beautiful piece, though! hook up a little clock-work hoozit to it!

[m3gadork]

omg I NEED one of those

[m3gadork]

idiot. steampunk is the best atmosphere for anything.

[bull11234]

UR GAY!!!!!!!!!

[VoodooZombo]

y say that? honestly? y seriouslt waste ur time like that?

[bigblackwilly99]

Why is that? Is it because you're not smart enough to make stuff yourself? Because you can't buy it in stores? or are you just an idiot who like to try to piss people off? Your life must be so empty...

[shakaama]

what is steampunk?

[Camexe]

Hey are you selling theses??? I would totally buy one seriously I want one

[tetrisclock]

If you put a motor to those gears, it would be the most badass belt buckle ever.

[ChristianAstrup]

That would be awesome.

[linearfire]

are you selling these at all? and if you are, how much would you charge?

[TheChristofear]

very nice, but a leather belt might look more steam punk.

[LocoEvilDabdoub]

But as the belt looks kind of soft, he could add more metal pieces, or plastic pieces, painted with metallic paint. Also the motor will make it kick ass.

[slyster12]

It would kick ass as much as it would be useless.

[LocoEvilDabdoub]

yes, useless, but cool: steampunk isnt really always about being practical, but is mainly about making something common, to be a bit unusual, and a bit mmm... "techno-victorian". Anyway, thats a really simple way to describe it.

[03crowhurst]

wow... ?

[LocoEvilDabdoub]

you should add a small motor, so the gears move when it is on: That could look badass.

[tullasmachine]

that reminds me of the chineese kid in goonies " picers of power" hahah

[ChrisHallett83]

Ha ha - Data = "My pincers of Power!"

And someone thumbs-downed you! The Goonies is the best kids movie ever.

[TheRealSamDole]

It would be awesome if the gears actually buckled it.

[puargh]

This is great!!

[pixelsfalldown]

Yep, Brassgoggles is great. Nice belt buckle. Glad to see that the gears intermesh.

[pearlzenith]

Brassgoggles is an excellent place.  Wonderful buckle.

[nis3r]

thats cool man

[DoctorFistenstein]

i gotta make me one of those

[sclements75]

That is the coolest belt buckle I have ever seen!

[Kretek]

cool :D

[TheRussells]

Do the gears provide functionality-- i.e., actually cause the buckle to, well, buckle-- or are they purely ornamental?

[Jonny5rd]

Uh, heh heh, no. They're just for looks...

[DJacKnifeAlpha]

@Jonny5rd THAT'D BE EPIC!
