Kaleidoscope

This is a steampunk kaleidoscope viewer I made using a recycled diffuser lens from an old enlarger, some old bits of hardware, some copper and brass tubing, a broken mirror and some parts from a broken super 8 movie camera.
The parts for the kaleidoscope body are turned from Australian cedar, rosewood and ebony... the base is mahogany. The way it works is you place whatever you wish to look at on the viewing platform and you get a kaleidoscope image of the object magnified to approx 10x.
