Thread: Axworthy Ghosts in AZ

Tweet

Finally got my Axworthy up and going. Got it moving much faster than last year. I used a 120volt 1200 rpm motor with reduction pulleys. I'm stoked. This is one of my hardest projects and it's already done. Should have moved the trash cans. Lets see if i can post it.

WOW!! Those ghosts are MOVIN'...... Looks like a ghost race.
Great job!!
I'd like to get mine going again, but can't figure out a good place to mount it all in the yard.

oh that looks fantastic! Great job!

I'd love to get an axworthy setup someday, but I'm not up to the technical ability yet.

Very nice, especially the way they fly in and out of the trees!

i want to eventually make one, what do you use for the wire? i might try it this year

Never heard of an Axworthy ghost before but I like it. I'm thinking next year for this baby. Well done!

I have done this since 1988 and I've tried every line conceivable. From 1/16" steel cable to spiderwire. This year I got a deal on ebay for some .o46 coated cable. It is black and was $17 for 300' shipped. I stretch it really tight with no springs and have run it about 15 hours so far with only one problem. One of the ghost robes snagged on the cable and started to roll up on the line. Other than that no problems. The motor is up on the garage roof and I have five more wheels. Glad you like it.
