Steampunk Builds
I have considered building a Steampunk styled PC for several years, I recently inherited a lot of brass and other components from my great uncle who was a bit of a hoarder. This has spurred me on to begin building. I started thinking about the PC build and this has inspired me to begin a few other projects.

Steam Hoses
Steam Hoses were created in three steps, firstly duct tape was wrapped around a copper pipe (sticky side out). Then thick garden wire was coiled around that at around a 5mm spacing. This was then covered with cloth tape. It should then be possible to slide the whole thing off the pipe giving you a none functional steam hose that looks about right. It should be possible to colour these with ink but I haven't got round to that yet.
I found another junk shop!
