Thread: what to do with a 24 inch cylinder

Tweet

I have a 24 inch cylinder that I ordered for my jack in the box but I decided to use a four bar setup instead and then I was going to use it for a 55 gallon barrel pop up but now I am thinking of going a different way with that too so now I have a $175 cylinder that I cant think of what to do with. I know that I could just save it until next year but that seems like such a waste.

Do you have a coffin?

I have a casket and a coffin

Make a pop up

Wow that is one huge cylinder. I use a 10 inch for my zombie pop up and it's plenty. You could do some crazy stuff with that. With the right linkage you could make something fly 10-15 feet high into the air. Build a scissor prop and propel it 20 feet across your yard. Go big with this cylinder because it needs a home. Get cracking it's a week away.

I have a 36" travel cylinder from an old prop we did at the Busch Gardens "Halloween Horror Nights" years ago. We had it pushing a body out of a storage door. I was thinking of making an alligator prop out of it.
