I am VERY sorry that my circumstances kept me away for so long (5 years), but I'd love to start getting involved again. Let me know what I can do ! Mike

It would have to be spring tempered, but not a strong spring. The cloth should be light, not thick

Despite my now living in Arizona, I am still not close enough to attend.

do some research or ask so you have and supply fun. I enjoy it immensely.

my ability to travel is greatly reduced since I moved here. Was hoping at least ONE Arizonian would pop up.

Am off base here, or is this similar to how the old mechanism inside mice with the little ball on the bottom, works?

It is a very common commodity in AZ. In fact, its nearly a requirement to keep cooling costs down. Cut it with a scissors, and squeegee it on with some water to keep the squeegee from snagging. It works great.

Could you use a bunkbed (possibly a discarded one) and modify it to take boards instead of a mattress?

I am trying to become accustomed to the changes. (HI Kiteman). I won't be building anything for awhile, but I do hope to get into the forums more often.

I may not be able to, but I am going to try to be less scarce here.

you hack to either learn about or rebuild / repurpose something.

I know this is not the proper place for this, but I HOPE I can be less of a stranger from here on in. *waving* Hi Kiteman !
