Thanks Joe!

The genus is in it's simplicity. Your helper sounds adorable.

I think this might work for my idea. I want to make a gold mine scene and a miner with a pick moving the pick up and down as if hitting the rock with it.

Pure genius! Love it!

That is a really cool addition to that mech design. Really gives it extra movement!

A high five, thank you for sharing.

I really like this! Unless I'm missing it somewhere in your video list, could you maybe revisit this project and give us a step by step of its making, please? I'd like to add it to my next years Halloween decorations.

Thanks Garry. I ran out of time to do a full tutorial on this animatronic build. Hopefully you can build it from studying the mechanical operation in the video.

Great idea!

Can you make a cut list and measurement on the PVC pipe Awesome Job....... Happy Halloween!

Amazing again. I have a question. I am considering doing the same and figuring out a way for it to tilt from side to side also....

Dont the metal straps experience fatigue and snap eventually from the bending? Perhaps a clotch strap would work better? Love this creativity!

Hi. Great prop. How did you work out the dimensions of the crank arms, the holding tube and the clearance of the motor etc ? Many thanks

Very smooth. How large is the pvc you are using?

Can you give the make/model of the DC speed controller and the AC to DC power converter you used. Really neat prop.

Good day. Are the "arms" made of heated and pressed pvc or pressed metal conduit? Also, how has it held up over the last 5 years?

All pvc. It has held up great. Have never had an issue with it.

Got mine up and running. If I could figure out how to upload a pic or video, I would. What did you use for a "Chest" to keep the shirt out and away from the motor, etc?@@roxburyhauntedmanor8147

I always get a dreadful loud buzzing noise whenever I slow the motor down, I notice that you don't have this issue in this recording, was that incidental or did you do something to avoid that problem? Many thanks

Nom nom I have never had that issue. I have heard of other people having a noisy motor, at slow speeds. It may be a defect in your motor.

is the variance in PVC size absolute or was just material on hand?

@roxburyhauntedmanor8147

Just material I had on hand.

No matter what props I make I always seem to struggle to get the linkage lengths right to get the correct movement/positioning and this is ends up taking so much time to figure out. What is your principle method? Many thanks.

@roxburyhauntedmanor8147

Nom nom I really dont have a method. I work out mechanical issues, through trial and error. Sometimes I have to drill a few new holes, in linkage, until I finally find the perfect setup. Keep on working at it, and you will figure it out.

@@roxburyhauntedmanor8147 hello and thank you for the reply. That is what I do but as i had/have zero "engineering" knowledge I was hoping that there was some sort of method of measurement for length/height which would have made it all so clinically/scientifically easier. On a plus i no longer need to get frustrated with myself as i spend hours struggling to get what i was aiming for. Many thanks for your replies i very much appreciate them and i gain something everytime. Next years haunt for me will be awesome and it will be down to you and a couple of other channels for helping with answers, tips and your props to learn from or inspire for new twists. 👍
