Has anyone fabricated a dustcover for their Amadeus tt?

Any tips or hints you can share?

An old Moto Guzzi handkerchief works great for me.

I may be making one out of 1/4" wooden dowels glued and tacked for a frame, and my wife will help with attaching fabric over the frame (her choice) that will be at home in our living room. I started one for the Simplex, but didn't actually complete it, so can't say how well it works.

A while back I was gathering up and putting away various lengths of bubble wrap. That stuff is expensive and I like to reuse what I can.

I got to wondering if sections of bubble wrap, the version with the bigger air cells, might be fashioned into a cover. There is some structural rigidity and maybe a cone-like structure could be created. A cone head dust cover if you will.  Really.

I got sidetracked by something else but perhaps I will revisit the idea. Double sided tape or those 3m magic sticky squares with the tenacious holding power might work to join segments.

I'll give it more thought
