I picked up another screen door closer today.  After looking at the parts that I have laying around it looks to me like I have enough to make up to 4 pneumatic piston assemblies.

Becky signed me up for a welding class at the local community college.  Tonight I have my orientation.  I start learning how to weld some time after the 19th.  Welding will allow me to take some of my props to the next level of construction.  So far I have been working primarily with PVC pipe, wood and pop riveting (or bolting) any metal that I need to join.  I am really looking forward to making my grave jumper assembly out of aluminum, so I asked the instructor to focus me on learning how to use the proper equipment for welding aluminum.  I'm pretty excited.
