[TheForge] steampunk blacksmithing?

[Bruce .]

Steampunk strikes me as an art movement, as was Art Deco and others.

The main reason I can see for making Steampunk art is that there are a
lot of >ahem< customers out there.

Since most of the bronze in Steampunk art is fake - paint or whatever,
brass-brushing steel strikes me as legit.
