: Hey Chip, have you any pics/write ups posted on how you made these? They look
: great!

Thanks Hoz. I quit shooting a lot of construction pics because nobody ever built on of my gadgets... Search the archives for "Hatchsky" to find copious descriptions. Otherwise, they are simple to make. The key to cutting these small parts is to glass the wood before you cut it; that way it won't split. Use paste wax and saran wrap to keep the moving parts from being epoxied to each other.

I also have a bunch of shots from prototypes I built. The "http" pictures are Bill Price's (thanks Bill):
