If I used a light material, will it work ? |
i'm not sure what how stiff your blocking mechanism needs to be, but maybe a
nuremburg scissors mechanism would be better suited? it folds up relatively compactly, and is fairly simple to actuate. on the down side, they can be somewhat flimsy, especially when fully extended (the reason i tend to shy away from them).
