Model of a cam

I have a niche in my house that needed some art. Tried my hand at making ~5x model of a rigid friend out of wood (based loosely on the 2.5 in the corner of most photos). Would fit about 8-12" crack. Ended up about 30" long.

Learned a lot while making it: including how to pull my own springs.

Yes! It functions (although it only has a 5/8" wood dowel axel, so I wouldn't carry it up Steck-Salathe....) Has full range of motion and stops to prevent overcamming.

I started biulding one from scratch more of a stem style cam..I just have to assemble it. Was thinking of doing it tonight. If its cool ill share pictures with you when its complete

Sure. Love to see 'em.

Bonus points when I see a picture of it placed
