Oldsguy, I found that the trash can method is much cheaper but I don't like the way the lid shakes when the pneumatic opens up. To me it looks really cheap. But that is just me, I am sure if you reinforce it well, it could turn out great.

totaly bitc**ng

it seems like it opens slow due to the extra pressure it takes to open a box from the back as opposed to pushing up the monster. just a leverage thing ,, but your layout is so top noch Im sure it can handle the xtra pressure it will take to quicken it up.. You bought all the good stuff no bike pumps, screen door closers, wasing macince or lawn sprinkler valves, or back massagers,haha==

Very profesional and clean,, Luv the sound,,

I've been contemplating doing a MITB since the beginning of the year, but have the impression it would be very expensive. Whats the average price for throwing a MITB prop together. Plus the electronics and pneumatics look a little overwhelming. Any good resources that helps explain the whole thing?

CM Ghost, I would have to say it was around $400 for everything.

Nice job. I was wondering if you have problems with the box creeping. Mine will be across the room if I don't anchor it.

Where did you find the T bracket attatched to the cylinder in picture 14?

Regor, you know it moves a little and I am sure I will have to keep moving it during the night but not much.
