Thread: Make 'N Take anyone?

Tweet

Y'all have heard of these, Hauntforum has a NJ one scheduled for next week.

Anyone here interested in a get-together to make props?

There are so many of us here from Florida, I would love for us to do this! I'm west-central, but would be glad to host one for whoever could come.

Whatcha all think?

Come on now all you Floridians! I know you're out there!

Tell us more about it- what is it?

nobody lives in maine but i think it would be awesome

I’d also like to know more about this. Would we get together and all make one type of prop or all bring supplies and make various props? Being brand new at prop making I can’t see that I’d have much to contribute but sure would like to learn from others!

I had a 'gathering' a few years back here in mid MO. It was worth it. Met a few form the forum and others from the ST Louis area. Talk about techniques, building methods and projects. Didn't make anything. Just learned a lot of cool stuff.

Well, I think I do. At least that's what my Driver's License says. And I believe Dark Gardener also calls this home.

I believe we're too scattered, though. We'd almost have to combine with people in another state to make it worthwhile. Bummer, though. It'd be nice if we had a bunch of us here to do a make and take. I am an amateur, so would love to learn some new techniques.

I would like to do this. What project will we be building?

I'm sorry I haven't been around. We've had terrible problems with our computer. And I can't stay logged in. Just read and hope that next time it will work, but it has been fritzy since November. Sooo aggravating!

I'd like to get any Florida (we live 4 hours into the state so out of state would be a haul but more than welcome! ) haunters together.

I saw a Make 'n Take article from a California Haunter's group and it sounded pretty cool. They would decide ahead of time what the project would be and then the host bought all of the supplies and the guests paid for them when they arrived, or the guests all brought their own stuff from a list of required items for the project.

A couple people would be in charge to oversee construction who were familiar with the particular item. And everyone would bring the power tools necessary that they had, so that way, say someone doesn't have a certain tool, there would be plenty to share. Labeling said items would be a must.

The article I saw they made servo bucky skulls and one person bought all of the supplies and then made "kits" and the guests purchased a kit for the build. I've also seen groups where everyone received a supply list and were responsible to provide their own "ingredients" with items that are bought in bulk available for cost. We could do it however we like, it is pretty flexible.

I thought that since there seems to be quite a few haunters in Central Florida (and I am willing to drive a couple hours! ) this would be a fun way to get together and share knowledge. Maybe have the first one just a bbq or bring-a-dish get together with maybe a show 'n tell to get the juices flowing. We could discuss possible projects and go from there. A friend of mine had one where they made cemetary fence. And I've heard of one where they made web shooters.

I think one every month or two would be fun. Help add props to your haunt, too!

Sounds good to me. I live in Polk county. I think the meet and greet would be a better way to start. That way we could see were our strenghts are
