      1/ I kinda like steampunk, but also hate unnecessary ornamental frippery. The gears are fine...if they TURN and DO something (actually, in which case, they're GREAT). I've always hated MERE ornament, but stylistic choices applied to necessary components are awesome.https://twitter.com/random_eddie/status/1484517791222968323 …

      3/ back in the 80s I was very very upset about some of the t-shirt designs that ... DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING. To this day, I love wood turning where lots of choices are made in the form, but the form itself is useful/real, and the material shown is the underlying material (wood) >

      4/ ...but I hate hate HATE painted woodturning. When you look at a bowl, the lines, shapes, and clusters of space that you see are real. When you PAINT a bowl, the pattern of paint has no relation to the underlying form, and often contradicts it. Gross.

      5/ so, re steampunk, if a knob already exists, playing w the diameter, the material, the knurling, etc. is all great. Go and take those gears and given then S curved ribspic.twitter.com/2vrA9HJqmx

          Replying to @MorlockP

          One issue with it is that real 18th century / 19th century prototypes ("the science") were more punk than steampunk. Thinking of Gorrie's refrigeration prototypes in particular. It's meshing an ornamental aesthetic with the grittier workshop ethic of the time period.
