Lady at the McDonalds drive-thru complimented me on the ''steampunk'' design on the side of my truck. Said her husband would be interested in a sign, so I gave her my card. What is a steampunk?

I absolutely LOVE steampunk ... rusty metal, gears and LOTS of rivets. We incorporate this style whenever we can. Joe's Steampunk Stella is a wonderful example.
Our current large project has some steampunk styled pieces in it. Today I began work on a giant mechanical Kraken. It will be 32 feet long from tip of tail to the outermost tentacle. The piece is being built to fit inside a forty foot shipping container and is going to Trinidad.
Here's how it looks as of quitting time today... just a good start on the steel structural part today. Tomorrow we begin doing the pencil rod sub structure, then the mesh skin and finally the carved concrete over that.
