Man , now I am going to have to find some of these Infant rockers to make into props...and join my collection of random odds and ends of motors , servos and junk! Great tutorial and I have never even seen one of these until things until now!

Oh man, I really love the simplicity of this one. I can't help but imagine my clumsy ass forgetting it's not a real table and leaning on it. lol I found a couple of these rockers for under $100, and I bet if I keep looking I can find one that's even cheaper. Creating a prop like this for under $150 is going to be so fun.

You should make a levitating chair to go with this! It would be so cool!!!

@kensmith5694 11 ай бұрын

Yes, so long as the chair is light enough, a "rod" that is behind it from the viewer's perspective could lift it. The baby swing thing likely doesn't have enough power so I would give it its own device. The trick would be that the "rod" is really 3 rods. Each rod will have its own hinges on both ends and be arranged in a triangle. Just a bit of geometry can have the chair go nearly straight up without tilting.

Me again 🙂I finally made one of these today, and it was a lot easier than I anticipated. I only ran into a couple issues not directly related to your instructions (my bucket had a lip around the edge & center, so I had to use longer screws than what was called for; it also made it impossible to center the plywood since I couldn't see the center at all. I also had to re-cut the plywood base since the baby swing I bought apparently has a wider footprint than the one you used & the first one was too narrow. Had to add an inch making it 19 x 20). All in all I am thrilled with the results, and with how quickly it all went together. Thanks for sharing the great tutorial! PS, I tagged you on Insta if you're interested in seeing it.

I watched this video at least 4 times... this prop is fantastic, I like the way you look at something built for one purpose and instantly think "I want to build a haunted house prop with it!" You're my kind of guy! Presently a prop like this wouldn't fit in my haunt's graveyard theme, as I have mentioned, It is a one-car garage, so I can't accommodate much... maybe one year I'll put the graveyard outside and change the interior to be like a haunted house inside the garage... not sure... maybe one year. P.S. I think the skull is animated by a black string that goes through the book, and table to the floor with a weight... I look forward to see how you rigged it, I'm always learning so much from you! P.S.#2 My spooky sign is completed, very much inspired by your tutorial... I made it slightly smaller and changed the linkage to the motor to operate the eyes directly without a need for a spring or counterweight... I plan to make a video of it, I am thinking of making a behind the scenes of my haunt, I'm not planning on making a how-to DIY, that takes too long to produce! But I would like permission to link and possibly include a few video snippets of your video in mine if any of my 12 viewers are interested LOL, maybe we can collaborate on that a bit later... I'll be in touch through your channel's email soon.

Using green colored foam craft sheets glued to the skull in a fashion that looks like an oversized carnivores plant, might be one way to achieve the look that you want.

Hi Amanda, yes the models that I used do have the touchscreen. I am not familliar with those with the turn knob, but as long as the mechanism works the same they should work just fine. Thanks for asking.

OK THIS PROJECT: if you decide to build this, save yourself money and hours and forget about the PVC table legs because they make very little difference in the end product. This is my first-hand experience.

I'd like to know where the heck you found the 5/16" - 18 x 1/2" bolts!!! I've looked everywhere.

@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms Жыл бұрын

Hi Spooked, sorry for your frustration. I purchased the bolts that I used at a larger Ace Hardware that had a wide varity of bolt types and sizes in open bins. These are the type that you purchase individually and are not pre-packaged. The pre-packaged type have a limited array of sizes. I also took one of the angled top plates with me into the hardware store to test the bolts before purchasing. An alternitive to the angled plates and bolts, would be to screw the PVC end caps directly onto the underside of the plywood round. Evenly place the four around the perimeter of the round and slightly angle them outward. Use a short wood screw that does not come through the otherside of the plywood. You might also need to predrill the PVC end caps. The angled plates and bolts are not necessary, but they do make the attachment of the PVC endcaps, with a uniform outward angle, a whole lot easier. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching and I am glad that you reached out and asked.

@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms Thank you for replying. I ended up finding them at an actual bolt shop. I put it all together really easily from your instructions. This will make a huge splash in our haunt this year. Thank you for sharing.

Where did you get the things to make the floating table

@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Dora, I'm not sure what you mean by "things". If you mean the motorized infant seat, I picked up this one at a second hand children's store. The other things I was able to pick up at hardware and hobby stores.

Curious is it possible to add the floating tea kettle prop to this?

@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms 2 жыл бұрын

Good question Joshua. Everything for the 'Levitating Tea Pot' would need to be attached to the underside of the table top, so they all moved in unison. Additionally you only have the room between the table top and the swing base to fit everything. You would also need to make sure not to exceed the weight limit for the infant swing in order to avoid the swing's auto turnoff. Also the water reservoir could not be filled too full, to avoid the water spilling over with the motion of the swing. Off-hand those would be some of my concerns.

@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms Thank you for the quick reply! what if you had the water tank on the floor behind and ran a long flexible tubing that could move with the motion and connected to the cylinder in the teacup ?

Sounds like a good idea, nothing is certain until an actual physical mock-up ... that is where problems (and their solutions) pop up. Let me know how it comes out, but do be careful working with water and electrical motors in the same area!
