]]> Comment on A Holiday to Remember, part one by A Hectic Weekend and a Clockwork Rabbit | Steampunk Family http://www.steampunkfamily.com/2008/12/a-holiday-to-remember-part-one/comment-page-1/#comment-5427 A Hectic Weekend and a Clockwork Rabbit | Steampunk Family Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:31:35 +0000 http://www.steampunkfamily.com/?p=33#comment-5427 [...] My sincerest apologies for failing to continue the story of our Voyage to Antafrica last Friday. Things were a bit hectic, as a large hole opened in the fabric of reality and our airship was boarded by the crew of Serenity. Lovely people, for the most part (although the fellow with the cunning knitted cap had to be kept away from Philomena), but returning them to their reality took up so much time! Our tale will continue this Friday. In the meantime, enjoy this rather clever clockwork rabbit of Adolphus’ design. He is so fascinated with animals! (Well, no doubt you remember what happened with those turkeys…) [...] [...] My sincerest apologies for failing to continue the story of our Voyage to Antafrica last Friday.

It's on the left if you're leaving L'ville towards Brunswick. My cell is 703-867-8256, so call if you need directions or have any questions. If either of you would like to have a piece critiqued, send it to me and I'll post it, and include you in the email so you'll have everyone's addresses.

Drain tape will work or some electrical fish tape. In your case it should be about the same size in wide and thickness. It will take some work with a file or a grinder to smooth the end once you get them cut. Ouch, broken boning can be painful as well a ruining a lot of hard work.

Especially the tip about plastic boning being a waste of time... I used acrylic rods, which snapped dramatically on the subway the 3rd time I wore it *oops* I'm thinking of replacing them with 'drain tape' - a very affordable source of sprung steel, as you can buy it at the dollar store.
