Afternoon Seminar: 3:30PM - 5:30PM.....................Pneumatic
Sit-Up Blucky (Make it & Take it) :
Vern & Sue This is a make it and take it that is
available in "kit' form. You can purchase the kit, make the prop at the
gathering and take it home. The kit will cost about $30. Details and PayPal
ordering available.
http://www.halloweenfear.com/Situp.html
Sit up Prop: This kit will include all PVC pipe cut to
size, fittings, door closer and hardware necessary to build this prop mechanism
(please bring pipe primer and glue). To incorporate pneumatic props into your
haunt, it will require (1) compressor or air tanks (air for movement),
(2) manifold (sends air from the source to the prop which makes the door
closer extend and the prop sit up) and a (3) trigger mechanism (sensor
for automatic or doorbell for manual activation). Sit Up Prop Kit price $25.00
Manifold: This kit will include one sprinkler valve, pvc fittings and power
supply . The metal air fittings that adapt your compressor to this prop will NOT
be in the kit. As with the sit up prop, it will require (1) compressor
or air tanks (air for movement), (2) manifold (sends air from the source
to the prop which makes the door closer extend and the prop sit up) and a (3)
trigger mechanism (sensor for automatic or doorbell for manual activation).
Manifold Kit price $25.00For anyone interested in doing the
sit up prop ($25),
a manifold ($25),
scissor prop ($65) or hacking a sensor ($15), just email stating what kits you
want and how you want to pay for them (either at the event or via paypal). I
will then send you a confirmation invoice of the total. If you want to do
paypal, I will send a paypal request and if you want pay at the event, I will
bring your invoice to RMG.
I don't do the scissor prop so I will have to get Vern to give a tools list for
that one. The sit up prop and the manifold kits include a parts list and a
picture of the prop so you can see how it goes together and don't have to rely
on my memory ( =-O ). The only tools needed
for the manifold is a pair of pliers to screw in the reducers to the valve. The
situp prop requires a flat tip screwdriver. If you have pvc primer and pvc
glue, you should probably bring it for these two kits. The sensor kit is just a
few cuts with a pair of wire cutters and a couple of soldering points.
