Thanks, I've always liked small mechanical mechanisms. I'm not skilled enough YET to make anything more complicated, but I'm working on it.

I like the stuff you have made so far!
Have you considered making a tinder-box based on a flint-lock? With your skills, I think you could fabricate the mechanism. "The tinder pistol, based on the flintlock mechanism , was a more expensive alternative to the tinderbox and was in use in middle and upper class homes in the 18th century. In the early 19th century a more efficient tinderbox was invented with a rotating metal wheel to create the sparks and there were other more experimental devices available, such as the fire piston and the instantaneous light box.[5] The need for sulphur tipped matches created a small cottage industry and they were sold in the streets by 'matchgirls'." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinderbo…

I had no idea these things even existed! It's now on my short list of things to attempt. Thanks for turning me on to them.

The firewall at work will not allow me to do some of the research I want to do, so I have to do it on my home computer. Key words like 'knife', 'gun', and 'weapon' will get you a 'Green Screen'.
I hope you boss gets over it!

Naw, just the corporation. And all they would happen is they would end my access to the internet if I have too many 'Green Screens'.
