I have to say fynsdad... you are the master of many things... even the tease lol...that is one unreal looking micro mechanism... metal and brass too...I've never seen how one of those operates so I can't imagine how you are going to use them... but I guess that's the tease :haha:

By the way fynsdad... I just noticed you have a little blue pet bowl next to your couch... perhaps this is a warped thought.. but is this tank just a clever tool that will be used to move that bowl ? :haha: :haha: :haha:
