Exactly, there seems to be a frenzy of people wanting wood bases because of how "Simple" and "Easy" they are. So far, I've yet to see a design or setup that really is simpler or easier than a well designed base using more conventional materials.
To go a step further, to be "steam punk", electrics would need to be powered from a steam turbine operated dynamo but electric wiring would still be required to follow all rules as they would apply. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
