Forgive my ignorance, is it solid, or does the top piece depress in a bit?  Just wondering how it works. Thanks.

So what this is is two pieces of pipe a pipe cap. Smaller diameter pipe has a spring in it with a cap on the top. But you don’t see in the picture there’s a bolt that screws into the other pipe for the slot cut in the inner pipe to keep the two pieces of pipe from coming apart. The spring is a heavy spring so it gives a lot of resistance the most you can move it is about a quarter inch if you’re really strong

Very cool! I’ve tried a few different thumb things—this looks like outrageous fun
