Prof' Bergenstrauser's Trimaginator
« on: January 16, 2018, 03:40:23 PM »
A 'Victorian Romantic' commission for a Steampunk fan.
Stare into the Trimaginator for entry into an alternative universe.


Another 4" tricylinder - this time in scorched ash with copper and brass embelishments.
Influences previously acknowledged

C&C most welcome
Regards
Nick

You're on a bit of a roll, Nick, and this piece really floats my boat. I can imagine any steampunk fan wanting to get their hands on it. The best piece yet in your tri-cylinder series.

Now this I do like. A great step forward from the 'plumbers' pieces.

It looks like the flux capacitor out of the Delorean to me Nick, a lovely and unusual bit of art mate. Les

I admire the different ways you are making a single turning so different.

A great series of work.

Thanks Bryan
taking all your comments on the 3 tricylinders in one answer.
This one does have l e d lights but not enough lux to read by!
I now have to demonstrate this to my club in 40 minutes. Lots of 'Blue Peter' preparation because they take 4-6 times that with marking up, bandsawing and 30-40 rechuckings.
That means that there will be more but maybe not posted.
Kind regards
Nick

I seemed to have missed this one in the series of these. Love the contrast with the scorched black and the copper as well as the brass inserts. So a big like all round
