Description
My latest steampunk creation the I-Poise. A cross between an ipad stand and an angle poised lamp.It has taken 20 hours to hand craft from aluminium, brass and hyedua wood from start to finish. It not only holds the ipad securely but also charges from the mains or can be connected to a computer with the 1.5m cable leading from the back. The stand features an adjustable arm which moves up, down and forwards and backwards. The whole arm can be rotated 360 degrees and the dock itself rotated between landscape and portrait. I installed weights in the base of the stand to ensure it does not tip when the arm is extended even with the heaviest of ipads. I have added springs to the joints to ensure stability and to secure wires for the dock.
I have made this stand in a modular fashion so that it can be taken apart with an Hex/Allen key for transport, to replace parts and also to modify it in case of a tablet pc upgrade.
It is not yet up for sale but when available will be listed on my etsy shop([link] )

Absolutely! There just wasn't really anything on the market (in my opinion) that really took advantage of the iPad's 'desktop' credentials, so I thought I'd have a go! I'm hoping to start producing them for sale before the end of this year.
Thanks for your interest!

OUTSTANDING! We need more Steaampunk for the home. This is beautiful and functional. I am blown away by your small work your detail and precision. I know how long it takes just to piece together a light from found parts such as I do with my steampunk lighting, I cannot immagine making all the parts from scratch. Well done.

Thanks so much man - I'm loving your work too! I love steampunk lighting as a whole, but very few people do it well. I've got to say though, your work is right up there with the best of them!
I think its probably easier for me as if I need a specific piece, I can just pop in the workshop & make one up! I don't know if I'd have the patience to keep on searching till I found the exact part! Do you like Frank buchwald's work?

I love it! However it seems more "Cyberpunk" rather than "Steampunk" to me. Regardless, extremely lovely!

Wow, that is actually sexy! Love the usefulness of the design and the wood is uber. Makes me wish I had an I-Pad, wait, I already wished I had one, but now it really makes me want it!

I must admit I hadn't thought of it as a 'Sexy' design, but I'm delighted that you do - That's better than I could have hoped! Thank you!
