The Coolest Steampunk Lamp You'll See All Day

You've got your steampunk keyboard [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/88753-The-Coolest-Steampunk-Keyboard-Youll-See-All-Day] and your steampunk mouse [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/88085-The-Coolest-Steampunk-Mouse-Youll-See-All-Day], but you can't work in the dark, whatever will you do? Simple: illuminate your study with the coolest steampunk lamp you'll see all day.

That's right, a steampunk lamp. These handcrafted lamps are the work of Dr. Glenn Roberts, a horticulturalist at the University of Guelph, and no two are exactly the same. Unfortunately, the lamps have all been sold, but who knows when the good doctor will make some more?

Oh, and before any of you say that they aren't really steampunk, they're all powered by steam turbines.

Jesus...How awesome will the next stuff be?

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

There's eventually going to be steampunk houses...this pleases me.

 

[Combined]

Bloody Awesome. I want one. Now.

I'm gonna go 'borrow' one.

 

[xitel]

We need steampunk robots.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Jeez, I wish I had the cash to pay for some of these. This stuff is just so cool.

They might even make it easy, all you have to do is bring an empty pepsi can, and let instinct take over...

 

[Break]

I want one of those so much. I wasn't particularly interested in the keyboard, and the mouse just creeped me out, but this is... Wow.

 

[Hippobatman]

Would kill to have one of those on my nightstand. Damn, it's so sweet!

 

[LewsTherin]

Do want.

what this guy said

 

[ThaBenMan]

this is the lamp that gave rise to the phrase "I love lamp!" ^__^ Very cool.

 

[[Gavo]]

Yay, another steampunk thing!

I've got to visit his shop the next time I stop by San Fransisco.

Need...now...

 

[TMAN10112]

I must have one! or more realistikly, try to make one myself resulting in multiple 3rd degree burns, hours of frustration, electrocution, and probably an hour of picking glass out of my arms. It has to go better then my last project did(potato cannon made out of PCV pipe + too much fuel + spark = no more eyebrows. Luckily they weren't my eyebrows)

 

[JRCB]

That, for lack of a better term, is epic win.

 

[Copter400]

Coming up next - the steampunk laser.

I'll take five.

Christ, it won't be long until we have steampunk codpieces.

 

[Aardvark]

Coming up next - the steampunk laser.

Almost there [http://www.wetanz.com/holics/rayguns.php]

 

[Dommyboy]

Oh lawdy! Gotta get me one of those.
