Nice job, Smitty. How fast does the door snap back? Does it have any 'recoil'?

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!

Looks good painted Smitty. Should be a pretty quick release too.
