'Thin Gypsy Thief' (a.k.a. Kyle Miller), makes wooden Steampunk iPod chargers that look like hands, complete with articulated finger joints. Steampunk gear is the main focus of the Vancouver, BC artist’s blog. He sells his creations in his Thin Gypsy Thief Etsy Shop. His Etsy page says, “I am a luthier (stringed instruments), furniture designer, and steampunk builder.” He also works full time as a cook.
Even if Steampunk iPod chargers aren’t your thing, you have to admit that this iPod charger is quite unique.
