It's the same for me. When I first heard about Steampunk, I had no idea what it was, then I learned that it is basically the elements that I've always loved. I was excited to know that there actually is a name for my taste in style, because that makes it easier to find stuff about it. And since there is a whole subculture based on it, there are people who know what I'm talking about. :) I love industrial things and old-world materials such as brass, copper, wood and leather.
YOU! just saved my life! because holy crud, did not know how to start this, and my sisters birthday is comin up so its like, a serious rush hour for me, but thank you
Love love love the propeller clock! Thanks for posting! Gave me some ideas for old jewelry I don't wear! I'm excited to see what comes out of it. Thnx!
Thanks for the vid! I can use your technique of riveting that movement to that brass piece to make a cool propeller for an airship model I'm making. And it spins! :)
Yes, thank you! I love this kind of stuff, it is amazing! I'm trying to make my own, about to make reeeeaaaaal good friends with the people at my local clock repair store XD
This video needs more views! Way cool! The fun thing about this kind of art is that it will never go out of style. I couldn't tell when I first watched this (wasn't directly off youtube, so I couldn't see the post date) if this was recent or old. It could be a tutorial posted last week and nobody would know. Well done! Keep up the great work! You've inspired me!
Anthony you are so kind! Yes this video is quite old for B'sue Boutiques, but I rarely take a video down because folks say they love to watch them again and again, no matter how poorly we made them! Many apologies that I missed your comment, too. My new year's resolution is to go back to all my videos...about 175 of them! and respond to everyone I missed. It's a big job but I love doing it! Now we do LIVE sessions every Sunday at about 4:30pm EST. Subscribe and click on the little bell for our channel, and You Tube will quietly alert you when there are new videos or I'm on live. I hope you will join us. So many fun techniques to share!
I'm so sorry I missed your kind comment! This video is almost 9 years old...I can hardly believe it! We had only begun to make videos a few mo. before this.
like tools like pliers, some kind of strong glue, tweezers to use for if u wanna add small things like little jewels on it, possibly a hammer and screwdriver depending on the stuff u have to do with the jewelry
I have just started making steampunk jewelry and I watched your video. I was told " to make this stuff, you have to think outside the box" When I saw some of your work, it inspired me to think outside the stupid little box. Boy, things have changed so much since I was a little girl! Now they want the big clunky wierd stuff!
Some people do, Astra, but not everyone. Many like streamlined, demure looks as well. Come check out all the videos on jewelry making at the bsueboutiques channel, and you will see all kinds of jewelry making. So sorry I just saw your comment. My new year's thing is to check all my videos and see who I missed and respond, even if it's years later. Apologizing for that! And hope maybe you will check us out on Sundays, we have LIVE sessions now where you can comment in real time and I try to answer everyone. Next one is Jan 27, 2019, 4:30 pm THANKS!
It's easier still if you can just find the loose parts, and probably just as cheap. I found a nice resource lately so we have a great stash of them at www.bsueboutiques.com
super cool! and easy, it would be cool to buy some metal thread and make scoop rings for necklaces long loops are to hard to want to sell, just afraid the loops you make from making your own springs, and then cutting them ofcourse to make little ring what can i do besides gluing each loop together?
go to the hardware store to get cogs and washers and if you have any old watches you can take them apart to get gears. I think you can also stain the metal but I am not sure about that.
lol I said the same thing when I found out what steampunk is... like "wow it would have been so much easier to find jewelry I love if I knew it had a name!"
@VersperaTheCreation I need to know as well. xD I found an old, cool pocket-watch, took it apart. You have no idea how mad my mom was when she saw that the old thing I had taken apart was the last thing she had of her grandpa. D:
that pendent looks like it would be really nice as a buckle for a purse or bag i just went to my first convention and loved every second of it i really liked the whole steampunk style but as of this weekend i want to actively be a part of it and was wondering where i could find gears cogs watch faces and other things and tools to slowly get started could you please help me out ^/////^
is it possible along with riveting to TIG weld many of the parts? obviously the connections would be solid rather than free moving but it seems that it is possible to weld some of these parts together
Thanks so much! Sadly some of the cool parts I loved to use in this video I can no longer get. But think outside the box and you will figure something out, that's what I try to do!
I love the scrable piece at the very end. I recently made some out of polymer clay, but was wondering how you attach them to the brass? What kind of glue did you use? Thanks!
I just found you as well. Your video is great! I'm going to check out your website and think about what I can create as far as steampunk jewelry and things. What I noticed, only a slight criticism, is that people make stuff that turns, etc., but it mostly doesn't actually DO anything. Maybe someone can make something that like "oh I press this button and it gives me that answer to something else"... Know what I mean? Thank you so much!
Hi and first let me apologize for the tardy answer. My resolution for 2019 is go back through all the videos and answer everyone I missed. Big job! But I'm doing it! Yes, in the Steampunk community today, it's important that the piece move and have a function, even if it's fantasy. I just like the industrial look and I'm not into the lifestyle, I'm a jewelry maker and a teacher of all sorts of styles. I do love this one. Thanks bunches for watching and yes indeed we have tons of stuff that works for doing this at www.bsueboutiques.com
Only discovered steampunk today and I'm already in love with it :D hopefully it's a good way to spend the Easter holidays for me :) where did you get all those parts
Hi, I'm wondering if you have any advise as to how to open a watch back as I have some old and newer watches, but can't get the darn things open and don't want to have to buy a special tool if I can avoid it. Thanks
It's the same for me. When I first heard about Steampunk, I had no idea what it was, then I learned that it is basically the elements that I've always loved. I was excited to know that there actually is a name for my taste in style, because that makes it easier to find stuff about it. And since there is a whole subculture based on it, there are people who know what I'm talking about. :) I love industrial things and old-world materials such as brass, copper, wood and leather.
It's found item plus industrial plus Jules Verne, to me.
YOU! just saved my life! because holy crud, did not know how to start this, and my sisters birthday is comin up so its like, a serious rush hour for me, but thank you
Why is steampunk so damn beautiful?
Love love love the propeller clock! Thanks for posting! Gave me some ideas for old jewelry I don't wear! I'm excited to see what comes out of it. Thnx!
I love the Cinderella Clock idea!!
Thank you so very much. You are wonderful. Yes, I am visiting your site now.
Thanks for the vid!
I can use your technique of riveting that movement to that brass piece to make a cool propeller for an airship model I'm making.
And it spins!
:)
WAY FUNKY!!! BSue! Love that second necklace!
Yep....it's a lot of fun, Nancy Frix, you gotta try it sometime!
It was fun, right?
Omg the propellor clock! I actually went "Oh my God!". I love it! I need that! Great video!
Fun, Fun, FUN! I esp. love the eye pin spiral bail. TFS!
I've already dismantled all the old clocks at my place, now it's time to go for the neighbors' :D
love your attitude.....excellent instruction excellent lady xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I like your attitude and your humor! =)
It's just so enlightening.
That's really neat stuff. Very pretty.
Steampunk!! YES!!! Thank you!!
now my hobby of tearing apart old machines will have a purpose :P
Glad I found you as well, trying on my own. You have an exceptional training style and great passion comes though!
LOVE steampunk and you are very inspiring!
Thank you 😊
Yes, thank you! I love this kind of stuff, it is amazing! I'm trying to make my own, about to make reeeeaaaaal good friends with the people at my local clock repair store XD
Awesome video but even more awesome, it feels like I'm listening to Rosanne Barr. I love your voice Sue
Thanks, but I'm not Rosanne! LOL Glad you came to watch.
Pam Pedersen
I said the same thing! :)
@@stanky6261973 t I hoped I sounded like me!

Very cool video. I recently decided that I wanted to try to make some steampunk jewelry / artwork so this gave me a lot of really cool ideas.

Sue- you are always delight!
Steampunk: Victorian era with today's tech
Love your personality!
A few good places to find cheap watches and jewelry to tear down are thrift stores and flea markets.
It's easier still if you can just find the loose parts, and probably just as cheap. I found a nice resource lately so we have a great stash of them at www.bsueboutiques.com
Great video! I am so behind the times!
super cool! and easy, it would be cool to buy some metal thread and make scoop rings for necklaces long loops are to hard to want to sell, just afraid the loops you make from making your own springs, and then cutting them ofcourse to make little ring what can i do besides gluing each loop together?
Love your videos! Narration rocks! B'Sue is one cool chick!
Wow! This is very creative! I love steampunk jewelry!
go to the hardware store to get cogs and washers and if you have any old watches you can take them apart to get gears. I think you can also stain the metal but I am not sure about that.
omg...I think I've found heaven!
amazing I'm making a steampunk outfit for LARP right now, i'll try this.
Its like nostalgia, its reminiscent of a beautiful bygone era
This lady is so rad oh man.
I totally could get into this. Thanks for the awesome video!
This is wonderful! Just gorgeous!
Thank you for sharing your ideas.
lol I said the same thing when I found out what steampunk is... like "wow it would have been so much easier to find jewelry I love if I knew it had a name!"
Thank you for sharing. Really nice work!
Um...you are awesome and I love you!
Awesome video. Love all the ideas.
I love this video so much!! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!!
@VersperaTheCreation I need to know as well. xD
I found an old, cool pocket-watch, took it apart. You have no idea how mad my mom was when she saw that the old thing I had taken apart was the last thing she had of her grandpa. D:
i really want to try make steam punk jewelry but what sort of equipment would i need to start besides pliars and watch parts?
Excellent video!
thank you love your video
Love your video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
wow your so creative!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!
Thanks for sharing!
thank you thank you! you're the best!
I love steampunk
CREATIVITY AT WORK!
Omg thank you for making this video:D This inspired me to start making jewelry like this:D Thank you so much:DDD

just found you, i love your videos and your "messy workshop"!
Vicki
@thefuzzbuzzmuzzcuzz When I read that you 'found an old, cool pocket-watch' I immediatly thought: OHH.... NO! I can feel your moms anger.
Fortunately I never dismantle anything that is working or can be fixed. Responsible Repurposing!
These are great! Have no idea how I'm gonna get gears & clocks for my stuff... any suggestions? Anyone?
www.bsueboutiques.com
Go to a hardware store, too. Clock repair kits, nuts, small parts in the electric and plumbing depts., etc.
I like this video it's very interesting!
Wow you are awesome :D
Great stuff!!!!
i loved this! you are so endearing, and you made me want to watch the whole video. (:
is it possible along with riveting to TIG weld many of the parts? obviously the connections would be solid rather than free moving but it seems that it is possible to weld some of these parts together
great question, I rarely ever solder and dont know anything about welding or TIG....so why not experiment and see, if you know how!
this is so cool! can you make a resin tutorial?
lol absolutely amazing, love your ideas :)
Thanks so much! Sadly some of the cool parts I loved to use in this video I can no longer get. But think outside the box and you will figure something out, that's what I try to do!
Thank you love the video!
what are the rivets made of? A soft steel? or a copper based alloy? It's hard to see in the video.
they are brass. ;-)
I never thought to use rivets that a cool idea.... r those ones like the type u can get at fabric land?
Yes tube rivets.....some folks use to scrapbook, too. I like the 3/32 size.
I love the scrable piece at the very end. I recently made some out of polymer clay, but was wondering how you attach them to the brass? What kind of glue did you use? Thanks!
Mad max!!!!!!
excellent video :))

Good video
those are some small propellers. Where could you find something like that?
love to
Hey Sue I ♥ your videos and your so hilarious:-P + I always learn something new T4SCUS!
Only discovered steampunk today and I'm already in love with it :D hopefully it's a good way to spend the Easter holidays for me :) where did you get all those parts
Hi, I'm wondering if you have any advise as to how to open a watch back as I have some old and newer watches, but can't get the darn things open and don't want to have to buy a special tool if I can avoid it. Thanks
Oh I wish I could help....sadly I don't know much about it. Generally I buy the watch parts loose already. ;-)
Do you still sell that piece that you patina on the back of that necklace
I'm so sorry just saw this! Sadly I don't.
question. Eyelet rivets, how do you do them ?what tools do you use, and where can i get them. thanks
www.bsueboutiques.com
where can i buy the heavy brass and the whirly gig from as i can not find them on your website
Sadly this video is nine years old....and I can't get those parts anymore. Sure wish I could. Sorry, too, that I missed your comment til now.
Cool :)
cool where can I find all this stuff for steampunk jewelry?
www.bsueboutiques.com Hi Monique!
Do I have to buy new materials or can I use what I already have?
And if I have to buy new materials, where do I look for it?
You can if you like but you can buy new materials at www.bsueboutiques.com and in the search box you can type in steampunk.
Ok, thanks
the only thing you left out is how I am going to convince my parents at buying your stuff for my halloween
your really funny :)
too bad most stuff these days are eletronic. you are sooo super creative, though! :)
