  Well, you both seem to agree that I need to 
  check out this "Thaumaturgical Diffusion" thing. My "Weird" West 
  library unfortunately amounts to exactly nil - played it a bunch, but 
  never ran it and don't own anything. I'll have to ask my players if 
  anyone has it, and take your word for it in the meantime. Sounds 
  intriguing. Huckster/Junker, though? Hmm. I dunno, Chris. I'll be 
  honest - the whole Huckster background/Junker thing makes me cringe. 
  Or, perhaps are you just implying the use of some hexes? On rereading 
  your post that seems like what you're saying. Guess I'll need to look   at the
Hexslingers(?) book as well.

Well, the Thaumaturgical Diffusion book is about the Mad Scientist Hucksters
that later spawned junkers.  The hexes in the book deal with the
inventing/building process.  The particular hex I mentioned, Infernal Machine,
allowed a huckster to turn a pile of random compontents into as functioning
gizmo (sound familiar?).  The hex has a speed of 1 minute, and the device falls
apart as soon as the huckster stops maintaining it.
If no one in your group has it already, skip on Law Dogs (the "hexslinger"
book).  The hexes in there are quite different and aren't very useful to a
MacGuyver/junker type.
