Thread: Help - how to make pirate steering wheel move?

Tweet

This is my first post... I'm sorry if this is documented in other threads... please point me to those threads if you know where they are. I can't find anything in my searches.

Like many others, I want to recreate the look of the skeleton pirate that is 'steering' at the helm of shipwreck in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. I created the scene last year, but didn't have enough time to figure out how to make the wheel move, and it really bothered me. I have a reindeer motor, how can I attach it to the steering wheel to make it oscillate back and forth?

Thanks

take a look at the gravestone popper by dave in the grave at this link, you should be able to modify the linkage he uses to move the wheel just a litle to the left and right. it is also small enough so that you can hide it really well.
