EDIT#2 : Ok, so I'm getting a lot of comments asking where to get cogs etc, if you don't have any old watches to wildy destroy. For this I can only say EBAY! There are always a few such things on there for fairly reasonable prices, and your only other option is to have a look in a local craft store to see what they have.
EDIT: omg, daily deviation! That's never happened before, thanks everyone!
My first ever tutorial!
I made a couple of steampunk type jewellery items that I was quite pleased with, so I thought I'd make a short tutorial for them.
Please comment! And if anyone makes anything from this, I'd love to see a picture of it.
Thanks so much!

Ed: Leather goods are edible. In a movie a shoe was being boiled and eaten.
Ling: A SHOE? When I become emperor I'll slander you in the pages of Xing history as “The Man Who Fed the Emperor a Shoe”
Ed: Edward Elric just carved his name in Xing history!
