True Blue Me & You: I'll Try Not to Waste Our Time

DIY Machine Embroidered Felt Etch-a-Sketch E-Reader Cover. Instructions from parrishplatz here (she also links a phone case one on Etsy called an “i-sketch). She copied and modified a laptop cozy tutorial by Betz White here (who practiced making a sketchbook cover). Both have different info, photos and links. Photo above here (from another one she made for a bigger E-Reader).

DIY “Most detailed Instruction how to build a Steampunk keyboard from the workshop of Admiral Aaron Ravensdale”. I think this has been posted before - but not the tutorial. I have to admit - I’m not going to do this. But how great is this? Detailed tutorial by Admiral Aaron Ravensdale at Instructables here. He also has his own Steampunk website here and has a 70 page PDF download of the project with the layout of the buttons in another photoshop file. Only catch is that the download is in German (soon to be translated into English).

DIY Netbook Book. Tutorial by mikeasaurus at Instructables here. I like his common sense approach to salvaging the super long zipper at the Dollar Store. Love this idea. One photo download.

Rampkins’ DIY Steampunk Buccaneer Keyboard. Tutorial at Instuctables.com here. The buildlog with great photos is at Rampkins.com Handcrafted Gadgetry here. Youtube Video is here. Here’s what the inventors wrote:

 Christened the Buccaneer , this is our take on a Steampunk Keyboard design - essentially a mechanical computer keyboard that has been modified to resemble an old world aesthetic. The project was inspired by the Steampunk Keyboard created by Jake Von Slatt .
