Some steam, little punk

... but lots of machinery, numbers, some gleaming copper, and Victorian gentlemen. I had to look up a definition for Steampunk as I have never done such a piece before. (And here's another, shorter.)

James, making money is quite easy, you just turn that knob. The steam
 machine is going to take care if everything.

Right here sir?

I will hold my hand here, soon you'll see how it works.

I used a wild array of found metal thingies and fashioned two wheels out of sandpaper. I am traveling and have almost nothing with me, just some basics like atc blanks, glue, scissors and a few snippets of paper. Basically everything you see has been found on my trip. (The dapper gentlemen are from an illustrated novel from late 1800's.)
In a week I'll be back home again, which will be a relief from collage point of view - but otherwise of course not, I enjoy myself immensely!
