Description
Weird steampunk/clockpunk-themed "hand mechanism" what I made from brass, silver, steel, leather and some parts of one old alarmclock. (like gears and spring etc.)Making take almost two months and it's probably the most complex metalwork what I have ever done. Mechanism really works and it move users fingers a short brief of time. (Unfortunately that steel spring is not very strong.)

I finally uploaded one short video to youtube! [link]

I watched the vid and had first thought of this being used, albeit a bit more 'programmable' with more mechanics up the arm. I had an immediate flash of a steampunk piano player having this as prosthesis to be able to play again. He would be able to use a large-ish (or not, using alchemy perhaps) music box built into forearm which would hold the 'program' for the prosthetic. It would hold the notes needed and move his fingers accordingly over the keys.

Very interesting idea. You should draw or make such device in some day.

LOL! Draw it perhaps, I don't know that I have the patience to try a build. I'm lugging thru a bit of a slog drawing a carriage and driver atm. I have the concept in my head, just wish I had the 'printable imagination'.

I've looked over most of your gallery, and must say, I am awestruck. You do fantastic work. I love your passion for your art. You have great ideas; blade knuckles, spoon pendants, jewelry, and the list goes on. Your trade has molded you into a fine skilled craftsman. I'm very impressed.

Thanks for the compliments. (And fave)
I started to make new steampunk style jewelry projects about two weeks ago and try post soon my first new pieces to Brass goggles messageboard, but not here until I get all new jewelry sets done. (I make earlier some plans for at least 5-6 different pendant sets for this year, but only first two sets are finished now..)

Awesome... for when you feel like waving or gesturing with style!! I love the fact that it actually works!

I saw this before somewhere else! It's amazing! Great job.

No. It's too difficult to make tutorials from so complicated projects.

dude you are awesome for making this no matter how practical it is!

Thanks.
I don't have usually a lot of time for steampunk related projects, but it's always a lot of fun to make things from old clock parts, teaspoons or some other recycled materials.
For example in last week i started to make new pieces to my continuing "clockpunk" jewelry serie and going to post later some photos in here..

O_O Fell in love with that. Oh God, I really want to buy some steampunk set one day.

I think I did see this one right after you uploaded it on here, but since it is on your profile page I did not notice the youtube video before now.
Thanks for uploading it, it is really interesting to see how it acts "live"

Thanks. That is now my only metalwork in Youtube, but I maybe upload some day also some kind of "picture slide show" from my weapon related projects to Youtube.

A mechanical finger prop for piano. Never thought I'd see one.

Very nice depiction and thanks for adding this to your favourites.

Depiction? No, that was a real thing and it looked almost exactly like that.

It makes only one quite simple movement like tapping your fingers on the table, so it's not probably very ideal for piano playing. (Maybe some guitarists can find more better use for it.)

It was made to teach the student how to hold his/her fingers slightly elevated when playing the piano. The original one didn't have any clockwork to it.

Excellent workmanship. The video was totally cool.

Wow! I so want to use that for reference... Would that be OK? If I used it in one of my drawings sometime? I'm rubbish at getting mechanisms of any description to look good and to look as if they work so...
This is a brilliant design - and the fact that it works is a real bonus! Great stuff ^ ^

Yes of course you can use that thing for reference purposes etc.
And thanks also for adding it to your favourites.
