I'm really zeroing in on where we can grab these props without losing that steampunk edge. The vintage markets have brass bits but lack the Irish charm. Specialty stores fill that gap with the luck motifs, but the price and selection vary. Online emporiums round it off with mechanical details but I want to avoid anything that looks too polished or mass-produced. It's a balancing act to nail the authentic mixed vibe. This sourcing phase has surprises—some items just don't exist off the shelf, meaning we might have to customize or combine pieces carefully.
Where can we source those props?
