Walrod Steampunk Curiosities

‘Big Pie Safe’, Walrod (Dec 2022). Salvaged wood, old screen doors, punched tin, old door hinges, old pull handles, and painted pine siding (courtesy of Vicki Niolet). This heirloom work will be available for purchase at the new Mississippi Antique Galleria in Gulfport, MS. Enjoy!

Things about to get REAL serious in the art studio, fueled by our hand-picked playlist of maynard’s most energizing tunes.

Thank you Arts Hancock County! Our Steampunk Angel piece was selected 1st place in the annual juried show.

You are cordially invited to join us this Saturday night for an art reception at the new arts center in Bay St. Louis.

Our studio cat Sardis is keeping a close eye on the glue-up of the door frame of the punched-tin pie safe that we are working.

Whhhaaattttt - $59/can on amazon?!?!?! OK. This pandemic business disruption pivotal thing has now gone too far. For the past 20 years or so, Johnson Paste Wax has been a staple in our wood workshop and art studio. Good on metal. Great on wood. VERY handy to lubricate woodscrew threads. Dad (Eugene W) used it in his woodshop, and his Dad (Gerald W) probably used it too. It was an affordable quality product to protect heirlooms. Even in a busy studio like ours, a couple cans would last a year or so. Looking into the ridiculous amazon pricing, we discovered this 'product discontinued' news, making us feel downright old... NOW ISO a good replacement wax - please let us know. Thanks. In the meantime we will be hoarding whatever leftover cans we can find. https://umgf.com/no-more-sc-johnson-s-paste-wax-did-you-know-t218826.html

It’s only simple assemblage, but I like it! Needs a good artwork title, help me out, what you got?

'Chevy Carb Kitty', Walrod, 2022.
