::: That Neo-Victorian future... it seems almost novel like, fictional, unrealistic, am I right?
First allow me to introduce myself, you can call me Cloctor (Clock - toor like doctor) I am from a small south Eastern American city almost unheard of. I started as a major in auto mechanics, everything from engine work to body repair, welding and metal fabrication, then my focus changed to astronomy and astro-biology with engineering as a secondary major and Egyptology as a minor.

I am, an avid environmentalist, I believe in controlled anarchy and freedom, No dream is too big.

Now you may wonder what this has to do with me making anything, right? Might next question to your own question would be "How would you love to live in a Neo-Victorian city? Completely steam powered." far fetched right?

This being stated you should again read my majors.
The stuff I make is slightly different than your clothing accessories and Nerf guns. I do not make goggles or clothing, or even currently even own any of that.

Instead, my engineering and mechanics talk for me.

Between my steam city design, my electric steam engine I am in the proto type stages (Photos shall be posted constantly) my electric steam, house hold appliances, and even a pressurized gun that uses steam pressure to fire metal (usually in round balls) and more to come!

In the future, I seek to build steam city, buying up a couple hundred acres of land, it will have basic laws (Within my controlled anarchy state of mind naturally) Besides the steam we will live off the land, we give as much as we take from nature, for we only have one Earth. We do labor, real labor. Not flipping burgers or getting up at six AM to drive to an eight hour shift behind a counter. The rest you can simply imagine, need I explain no more.

I ask you, not as a stranger, but as a friend and fellow Steam-punker to join me and make this real. How or what you think of me is up to you, but take these words from the guy who got two Nasa certificates in a year, spoke to the President of the United States on Environmental and Scientific matters and simply wishes to make a positive affect upon the world.

Call me insane, call me a poser, call me weird, hate on me all you want if you please, but in the end when you sit down and think on what I offer and say, you realize how true it can be.

Join me, help me on my effort by joining the brass army, we will be a group. Not like the Toy Soldiers or anything like that, not an army but a family. I say this not as advertising either, so to cut this wall of text short I will now post openings and later on post pictures of my work and my workshop.

::: Currently finishing stripping out the old lawn mower frame, and finalizing my boiler designs. Also working up a better design for my little workshop XD

Will start on the engines a little later on after the boiler mounts and body is fixed up. I need a bigger rear end as I am going from pulley belts to gears, due to steam engines having a higher torque to horse power ratio. Also using a smaller engine block for my prototype design. Debating an all wheel drive system with the front tires belt driven and the rear run by gears, not sure yet though XD I'll kept pounding away and taking stuff apart until I am happy i suppose... :::
