Jake Von Slatt, of the Steampunk Workshop (a new find for me), has posted a photo of his gorgeous desktop mods to his Flickr. The bulk of it is far too… gilded… for my tastes, but check out this keyboard. It’s stunning!
A bit of googling was sufficient to show his project reports for his own creation, and even a fellow who is custom building (likely very expensive!) keyboards of a similar theme.
I wants it.

About Lorien
I vote as a libertarian influenced by Hayek and Burke, and I think as an anarchist guided by the biblical principles of liberty. I have fenced foil in a diaper-suit and run for political office in a skirt-suit, but my shoes were always fabulous. Both dreadful politics and inspiring design are likely to make me teary.
Find Lorien!
Wow.
Please excuse the drool.
Hmm . . . copper sheet, brass bolts, willow probably because oak’s a bastard to work, and that Royal I think is beyond my ability to repair . . .
I’m feeling casemoddy now!
Why am I not surprised at his reaction?
Oh, probably because before I saw his comment I thought, “Oh, I’d better tell Henry about that!”
I assume the update means things are still going well down there. I am keeping my worry tamped down for the time being.
I wouldn’t say things are going well… I think in reality it’s all getting much worse. However, life in Cochabamba is still very quiet, and we’re starting to get things like gasoline back into town.
Don’t worry! If things ever get bad, we’ve got routes out!
Oh! and I did find out… the guy who is custom building keyboards like these? $1000-1500.
Ouch.
