Goggles, Goggles, Goggles!
It’s goggles all round here at Skav’s Steampunk Workshop! They are a perfect addition to ANY steampunk outfit. Goggles are a quintessential steampunk icon – whether to keep the wind out of your face while flying your airship, or to protect your eyes from the smog and soot of a steam engine, or when welding your latest invention – goggles are what you need. The applications are mind-‘goggling’…. Featured in the ‘goggles’ category we have a whole bunch of different colours and styles of goggles – for accessorising an outfit or just to wear. There are welding goggles, motorcycle goggles, ‘monocle’ goggles to suit every occasion. They come with different…

New Product Range: The Steampunk Corset Belt Set
During 2020 we have been working on something new at Skav’s Steampunk Workshop – behold the Steampunk Corset Belt & Accessories! This range is a series of holsters and pouches that can be clipped to a matching belt in any order or combination. It is highly customisable and comes in a range of different steampunk fabrics. The belt comes in a wide range of sizes from extra small (27-30″ waist) to extra large (41-45″ waist), and is designed to be worn over a corset. The earliest design has a simple ribbon tie at the front but we have since improved on this and all later belts will have eyelets –…

New Product Range: Gaming with Skav
One of our most recent projects while in isolation has been designing a new range of gaming products that will be available soon once our online store is up and running. The first of these are our basic dice bags (with more complex ones to come) pictured below – These bags are hand made with thickened round bottoms and can hold over 100 dice (we checked!). They’ll come with one free dice set and we’ll be ordering in a bunch of different dice styles that you can get as well (including some very fancy metal dice sets). There will also be a variety of different fabrics – steampunk, velvet and…

An Experiment in Photography
In an attempt to take consistently good quality images for our up and coming online store, Skav’s has bought a light box! It’s a fair size (as you’ll see below it takes quite nice pictures of cats) and has produced some nice pictures so far using the newest samsung galaxy mobile camera. Here’s a picture of it set up on the kitchen table (our previous spot for photography as the windows provide good natural light on a sunny day). The light box came with three sturdy plastic backing sheets – black, white, and a nude tone. Beibhinn liked the white background, Skav liked the black, and, after some test shots,…

COVID 19 Update
I’m sure everyone is sick of seeing ‘COVID 19 updates’ by now, but it’s important we tell you how Skav’s is currently operating. The most obvious change for us is the cancellation of all major steampunk and alternative culture festivals for 2020 (we were really hoping Goulburn Steampunk Victoriana Fair might have gone ahead, but unfortunately it too has recently been cancelled). Without any events to go to, Skav’s market stall and the Crew of the Airship Sirius have had a bit of a break in that department. As soon as events start happening again, we will be there with bells on! Hopefully now with this website and the soon-to-be-completed…

It is with great pleasure that we unveil Skav’s newest creation… this website!

Let us know what you think in the comments section or contact us if there are any bugs you notice for us to fix up! The next job on the list is finishing the updates to our Hire catalogue, which will show off all our available props which look great at any steampunk inspired wedding or event. Finding a nice…
