by having the vertical elastic attatch at the center of the horizontal one, and useing thick [postal] elastics it let's it pull hard but not far ... if you want slower use thinner or longer elastics...if you want faster, simply tie a knot in the elastic.... paint drying... pix to come
Looks kinda like an industrial strength mouse trap. Watch your hands Smitty!
it's like a bird's bones almost all the parts are hollow, the round and square...work's good
like an 1860's cannon ... just pull the string ;[img] .
Looks good painted Smitty. Should be a pretty quick release too.
Nice job, Smitty. How fast does the door snap back? Does it have any 'recoil'?
