    Modern artisans create new 'Steampunk' works & some of it's fairly interesting,but it's always worthwhile to study the 'originals'. Bookcase 1.jpg Bookcase2.jpg Bookcase5.jpg Bookcase6.jpg .

    What Junk Store? Should we understand that none of the pictured items is your own?

    No Bakers-this is just a visual commentary on how things were made in the 19th Century.A quick art/design class.These things are way too expensive for me to own.
    Amazing craftsmanship yes ?

    That first one looks like a huge piece of machinery for a relatively small number of books.

    I really like the one in the 3rd photo. That's just amazing and I would love one here but it does look expensive. Anyone care to guess the cost if you're lucky enough to find one?
