Thanks to old man winter, I finally had the time to complete my [containment unit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/containment-unit). I originally made it out of wood but i wasn’t satisfied with the way it looked. I got my hands on some red aluminum and I am much happier with the results. Unfortunately my wife would only let me install it in the garage. Everything is functional. Lights work. Lever works. Custom made DC micro amperes gauge. It works with the [Mattel](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel) trap and I am in the process of making it have sounds. As soon as that is done I will most likely post a video.

It was a bit difficult to operate and film this at the same time. And I know what you are thinking… Yes I did record the sounds from the [Mattel](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel) trap.

AWESOME! So inspired by this. Now all you need are exploding brinks and sfx for when the protection grid gets shut off by wifey cuz you and your friends spend too much time messing with your [containment unit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/containment-unit)! ---
