the Time Machine built by Brett Phelps, another of the Steam punk exhibits at the San Diego Auto Museum until Sept 30th
















Dirigible Inspection Service Craft


 YES, the tag is real. Ok... Sears didn't have a time machine they were selling, it was an irrigation timing mechanism.. but that tag is the coolest piece of real stuff to be on a steam punk device... in my opinion

 this Sextant is a centuries old device for navigation. Every dirigible service craft should have one... one never knows when a storm might blow you away from your dirigible and into lands unknown.
