Our favorite steampunk, Jake von Slatt, did a brief interview on Aether Emporium. Too brief. He’s a real interesting guy and does a lot more than his Steampunk Workshop projects. If you wondered what he does for a day job:
Currently I’m a Linux SysAdmin, but I’ve done lots of other jobs over the years. I’ve worked in a machine shop, as an HVAC tech, a TV repairman and have assembled everything from the little emergency buttons that you press when “you’ve fallen and you can’t get up!” to sensors used in nuclear power plants and undersea sonar systems. I’ve also worked on or rebuilt just about every automotive component you can think of including automatic transmissions. If you take a look at Vonslatt and Bike Recumbent you’ll see that the artsy etching projects are actually a bit of a departure for me!
