bah! Im more for steampunk itself than the victorian style. Im all for the machinery and GOGGLES. god Brass goggles in all their shapes and forms are just adorable ;) The same goes for Aether/Clockwork-backpacks  :)
No one have mentioned Sciefiction bokhandeln in stockhom (gammla stan to be exact) yet, they got some nice books. Both literary and roleplay.

There is also a science fiction-bokhandeln (SF-bookstore) in Gothenburg, but I think all concerned already know that :)

There is also a bookstore in Lund with some good stuff, both fantasy and sci-fi.

That one's not close to the size of the one in Stockholm though...

And while I'm here, could anyone recommend a good place to buy textiles? In Gothenburg, maybe? I've been through the ones close to me already. I mean, how hard can it be to find something nice for a vest?

I know of only one textile shop of sufficient size, and in GBG, but I can't remember it's name, and I'm no good with street names. I think it might by Övre Husargatan. It's right at the edge of Annedal, close to Olivedalsgatan. Don't know if that is any help at all.

Well, it's a start at least, something to keep in mind the next time I go there. Thanks!

Myrins textil. They have a more outlet-ish store in the Sävenäs area also.

Oskila is quite right. That's the one.

Anyone know where I get good gears in Stockholm? Ive found myself quite fancied by creating neclaces and ornaments, and Ive already got a few things going on in my mind but I need some info about getting the right stuff in stockholm :)

hello everyone, this is my first post here ^^ i'm swede..
well i've almost finished with my first ever home made googles with a chronovisor
what's the swedish word for chronovisor?
what cannot be done, i shall do! in the name of science

Atterton

I doubt there is a swedish word for it, I don´t even know what it is. But it sounds latin.

Warwolt: I'd say find a second hand store, and buy an old clock.

August_Cobb: I doubt there is a swedish word for chronovisor, no. Also, a quick read of the wikipedia article tells me that the chronovisor was a pretty large thing. How do you plan on translating that to something that fits on your goggles? I'm looking forward to seeing pics!

Warwolt the engineer

Kronovisir? Kronoskärm?  ;D
Thanks for the idea, might just have to snatch a clock. Damn I know we had one of those old things before but I guess we threw it!

well it's not very big, and sits on the right side of my goggles, and is connected to a antenna which absorbs time masses and load in to the extra lens ^^

Instead of transmitting chrono-waves perhaps its a form of aerial that transmits data to a chronovisor in your lab? And as its travell in time (and space  ;D) you dont have to worry about the length. So the goggles recieves information and sends it to the Chronovior then its sent back  ;)

Well now i have my brasingtorch,silversolder,flux and some other supplies so now i just have to polish up on my soldering skills.

En fråga varför talar vi inte svenska i tråden? Är det för at inte skrämma bort icke-svenska medlemmar?

oskila

ungefär. tråden är ju en allmän diskussion som alla andra, så alla ska kunna vara med.

<translation>
SV:En fråga varför talar vi inte svenska i tråden? Är det för at inte skrämma bort icke-svenska medlemmar?

EN:A question, why don't we speak swedish in this thread. Is it because we don't want to scare non-Swedish members away?

SV:ungefär. tråden är ju en allmän diskussion som alla andra, så alla ska kunna vara med.

EN: More or less. This thread is a public discussion like the other, so everyone should be able to participate.

I do think the moderators would be annoyed if we started speaking in Swedish, seeing as they would no longer be able to moderate us. It also keeps swedish chef jokes to a minimum.

Ah, so I guess the thread is more like  "Thread o sweds" than "Thread for sweds"  ;)

IvanDrugostrov

Indeed. I'm just rounding us all up, so we can exchange info that is relevant to our locale. And also, if we ever plan a meet.

I´m suprised at the number of swedes on here. A scandinavian meetup could be a definite possibility. I do wonder where all the norwegians are though.

I think (atleast thats how I see it) sweden is very open to ... well everything. We aren't to much for "swedish" stuff and more of international things. Might be so in other countries but I get the feel most countries want their own stuff rather than others. Or its just that sweds love steampunk... I don't know.

A steampunk meetup at a Con somewhere now that sounds really interesting!
