Thread: Garage door opener

Tweet

We thought our garage door opener died so we put in a new one yesterday. Come to find out it was the spring on the door that was broken. So now I have an extra opener, I was thinking I could rig Bucky up to it somehow. Any ideas? Has anyone used an old opener to move props?

suspend it and hang an FCG mechanism to it...now you have a 2 axes FCG!!

here's some recent discussion http://halloweenforum.com/halloween-...ner-ideas.html.

Thank you scareisburg, I didn't see that thread.

Hey here is an Idea that could be a good starting point, Now I have to start looking for a door opener now for me. LOL

I'm not sure why the images aren't showsing up

That is a cool idea, and could probably be done if the creature isn't too heavy and if you can figure out a way to attach a rod to the trolley.

Totally great having one of those around. I sketched some ideas out for what you could use it for and they all seemed to actually revolve around torture. Perhaps, it's the eerie sound and industrial look to them. One design was an industrial update to "the rack" while the other was to mount the motor vertically, cover the chain with a tentacle and attach a hangman's kicker at the other end. I might just have to do the latter for our pirate theme this year!

OOOOOooooo danandmeg
I want to see that one too.

I like the creature idea but replace the creature with abig ole spider!
