A Computer Keyboard Just Like Granddad's

Well, maybe that is a stretch. However, one enthusiastic fan of retro equipment has created a keyboard for his PC that looks like it was manufactured about a century ago. It is gorgeous. If your home is decorated in the retro style of a century ago, this would be the perfect addition to your computer room.

You can see pictures and even a video of how to make your own retro keyboard at http://steampunkworkshop.com/keyboard.shtml.

NOTE: Machinists' skills and access to machinery is required to duplicate this effort.

A beautiful job. Probably done by a man with too much time on his hands.

I'm fascinated by steampunk stuff, although I prefer to call them "beautiful anachronisms" because it's a prettier name. Anyhoo, here's a link to one of my faves, an old Underwood typewriter transformed into a computer keyboard. I found the link on retrothing.com weeks ago and haven't gotten around to blogging it yet.
