You'll be needing a pressure guage and a safety valve on it at the very least then...

I will be interested, in more ways than one.

I was going to do something along those lines to an old Club 2 but never got around to it.

I would love to play these with a steampunk melodeon:

I have a bandolier-full of them in different keys.

The only thing that concerns me, with Mr. NCB in Steam Punk mode, wearing his goggles is.....
what on earth will he weld next?
I spend hours worrying................

In the world of steampunk, at least in these parts, teapot racing is a thing (quite a big thing).
Is there scope for melodeon racing? New life for East German carcasses and Chinese junkers (not the other way round, natch)?

Accordions and melodeons are pretty steampunk styled anyway, without any extra adornment....

Rivetting on the belows tape is a must Roger

Nick Collis Bird · « **Reply #10 on:** September 30, 2017, 07:51:54 AM »

I was thinking ( don't laugh) about maybe led lights which could be activated by the bellows.

Hmmm. As with much 'art' less is more. I am a fan of China Mieville so I was going to make subtle reference to Perdido st/Bas Lag or maybe Kraken. And of course it needs to be playable rather than an unwieldy ornament...

Nick Collis Bird · « **Reply #12 on:** September 30, 2017, 08:40:56 AM »

Definitely needs to be playable.

Just what are you folks on about here?

Lester · « **Reply #14 on:** September 30, 2017, 09:45:34 AM »

Have a look here

Nick Collis Bird · « **Reply #15 on:** September 30, 2017, 09:48:44 AM »

Thanks Lester , that puts the whole thing into perspective.

Somebody recently explained Steampunk. Its what happened when Goths discovered brown.

TomB · « **Reply #17 on:** September 30, 2017, 10:20:21 AM »

.. and Morris discovered Goth so now we have Steampunk Morris

Whilst I appreciate the Humour of much "Steampunk" design, I have always wondered why the Obsession with putting Goggles on Top Hats,...seems to be an almost universal theme in this kind of decoration !!!

Does there have to be a reason ?
