Via Jake at the Steampunk Workshop: A guy named Jonathan built this cool wood-inlaid monitor.
I’m a computer engineer and cut marquetry part time so i decided to combine the two and fashion a monitor of my own. It’s seemingly a lot more difficult to get good quality brassware here in England than it is in the states so i made it all in wood, veneered in burr walnut and inlaid with yew wood marquetry and box wood stringing, finished with brass handles and finials. I know its not quite typicaly steampunk but it is a faithfull (ish) reproduction of a Victorian toilet mirror, complete with drawers and as i have never seen one done quite like this I thought it worth sharing.
This one was a bit of a prototype, made with an old Dell E156FPc (I think) from the workshop, but I’m going to be making another one using a 20″ Samsung with more elaborate woods and inlay, I have a real humdinger planned.
