Size: Anything from 7" up to 10" on either edge
Materials: leather (your choice of hand-dyed color), copper, brass, watch parts, tubing, epoxy clay, velvet, vintage parts/jewelry/cabinet hardware, paper
Pages: up to 300 pages of white drawing paper
Design: listing includes one major Steampunk element and multiple minor embellishments to "complete" the design. The major Steampunk element can be an artist-designed clockwork element as seen in the photos, a hand carved/tooled design (airship, watch/clock, gears, octopus, etc.), or other various /recycled/upcycled parts (gears, clock/watch parts, typewriter parts, glass vials, glass fuses, etc.). I'll work with you to figure out what you're looking for and then produce something that fits as closely as possible (I do need some artistic "license" in producing certain designs, especially the clockwork and recycled elements; tooled designs can be determined fairly specific).
Other elements can be added, additional pages, larger or smaller book size, major design elements can be combined (a carved design and a clockwork element), initials or lettering on the spine or covers, quotes inside the book, more embellishments, etc. for an additional cost. Please contact me to discuss all the possibilities.

We've managed to locate Richard Stughmeier, founder of Stughmeier & Sons, the original makers of high quality, multi-purpose mechanical books and they've agreed to provide their binding services to our clients. The Stughmeiers are capable of making a long-lasting journal or sketchbook coupled with a useful multi-dimensional device* or powerful weapon^. Simply purchase the custom item here or contact us to discuss the various iterations available.
* The use of multi-dimensional devices can result in serious side-effects including, but not limited to: nausea, volatile disgorgement of previously consumed provisions, headaches, cell degeneration, incontinence, dementia, double-vision, sudden termination of personal existence, deafness, accidental alteration of previously established events leading to the complete and utter annihilation of all life as we know it, ingrown toenails. Seller does not recommend or condone the use of such devices, ever.
^ Previous experience or knowledge with various personal and impersonal weapons is recommended before attempting use of any incorporated arms devices. Some weapons can lead to extreme results such as total destruction of small towns and baldness. Seller suggests avoiding any locations known to have high populations of the undead so as to prevent the necessity of using previously described devices.
