Steampunk Warehouse Book Nook DIY Kit with LED Lights

A Three-Storey Workshop With an Airship in the Rafters

Uncle Peter's warehouse is the kind of place where nothing ever gets thrown away. A spiral staircase winds up through three floors, the walls are hung with tools, and odd home-built machines sit wherever there's room: a one-wheeled vehicle you ride inside, a smaller one with extra wheels, and a small airship with turning gears hanging from the roof. This steampunk book nook kit builds the whole workshop at bookshelf scale, lit by warm LED strings and finished with a clear dust cover.

What Makes It Special

• A spiral staircase built step by numbered step around a central pole, the centrepiece of the scene
• A hanging airship with gondola, rigging, propellers and gears that really turn, lit from the inside
• Three floors of detail: drinks cabinet, film projector, desk, chest of drawers, rocking chair, hoist and a pegboard wall of tools
• Two strange one-wheeled vehicles, shelves of lab glassware, a wall clock, stacked tyres and a small figure of Uncle Peter on the stairs
• Bright LED lighting on a touch sensor and a clear front dust cover that slides out for cleaning
