> Thanks for your kind words, Sherry. If anyone out there was at the ASTC party on Saturday night, you might have seen or been on the Hands On! bed of nails in the Maryland Science Center. Or even IN it, when it was opened up by our master fabricator, Charlie Shaw during the safety walk through session on Monday. They have had theirs for quite some time, too, since 2004.

>> Hi Jane,
>>
>> We have one that was purchased to be part of a traveling exhibit that would rotate around the Oklahoma Museum Network. We acquired it from Hands On! Inc. approximately three and a half years ago, and it has been EXTREMELY popular. We do not staff it, it is the type with the hydraulic nails that come up when you push a button, and go down when the button is released. It has been an easy, pretty much maintenance free exhibit for us. And to my knowledge in the entire run so far, there have been no injuries or problems with it not being staffed. The Arizona Science Center also has one and may be able to chime in.

>> We would do it again in a heartbeat.
