Thread: Skelly Barrel spitter

Tweet

Hey all. Took a week or so off from building anything new. But the other day i had the chance to get a 55 gallon drum made of plastic for nothing. Well how could i let that pass by? So home it went. Decided to do a simple spitter with a twist. First i painted the outside with rust primer. Then added foam around the top for some oozz. Painted that in a flat emerald green. On with some red stickers and outlined them in black. On the inside i used an old bike pump with out the ram mounted to a piece of plywood and some 2 by2 blocks under that. I kept the cap on top of the pump and drilled out the oil hole a little larger. This is the one that lets the water go straight up. The other hole for the ram i used a piece of copper tubbing ran up to our skellys mouth. The whole thing works off a motion sensor and a washer valve with 30psi running through. Nice easy prop for not so much cash. Here are a couple of pics and a short video for you all. I think off the top of my head that this makes eight new props for 2008............ HUMMM!! Now what can i build?

I love it. It would look great with light and fog coming out of it.

Very nice job, gonna get those kiddies wet this year.
