International Steampunk Art Prize 2026

A huge metal arm. My plan was to make my arm in metal but I have forgot to include the joints of the hands into the calculations, so everything had to....be made bigger. The main pieces are industrial left-overs. A collar from a chainsaw motor (I think), a hose coupling and an old carborator from an east german motorcycle. Plus a few old type writer parts (most of the black bits). The brass and steel parts are all selfmade, on my puny lathe. Cut out by hand, filed and sanded down by hand. There is a mechanism that enables you to tilt the hand a bit. The palm gives a nice background-light, so I thought its a cool idea. It snaps in place and a small lever releases the catch and make the hand fold back down. Total hour count: Around 580 hours total but I am not 100% done yet.
