PVC Hangman video

Here's the initial test run of my hangman prop....

YouTube - Hangman Prop

Monsterguts wiper motor with power supply and quick connect terminals. Majority of assembly is 1/2" PVC. Used 3/4" only on the vertical chest tubes and the 2 bottom tees which the 1/2" pipe can move freely to add motion to the legs. I used 2 hose clamps to secure the motor to the pipes and added small wood blocks to keep the motor stationary against the slick PVC. Initially I had used the clevis portion of a sink stopper assembly as linkage between the motor and legs but since it was made of a softer metal it ended up needing to be reinforced with some angle brackets I flatted out in a vice and bolted on. Next step is to glue all the joints, add stuffing, put some clothes on and then build a wooden hangman's gallows which I plan to light up with a small strobe.

Yes, there is a video out there on Garage of Evil..I think the videos speak for themselves as far as how to put it together.

I was looking for something to use inside an airless kicking body bag.
I think you may have the answer here.
Very nice and easy.
Wiper motors are great aren't they?

Fantastic - looks great...would love to see what he looks like when clothed and finished!

BTW, what did you for a power supply?

Ended up buying two of the Monsterguts package deals in a 5 volt ($32.99) and 12 volt ($36.99) Each package included a wiper motor, power supply with power cord and a quick connect cable with terminals. The wiper motors can run at high and low speed. The 12 volt power supply adds much more speed. I am running the hanging man prop with this. The slower 5 volt will be used for my FCG which requires the slower rotation. They have a demo video that shows the difference in revolutions. I may have to buy a third package because I know that another project will require one.
