Mechanics of my tombstone peeker. Still needs a little fine tuning, but I'm moving on to the tombstone facade now. The hand will be attached to the OSB and then the fingers will wrap around to the front keeping the tombstone still while the skull moves.

Oh, I love that you can see the boney arm of the guy. Great idea!

I used a real bucky skull and arm which I found out the hard way how unruly that much weight gets on the end of a lever arm. I'll put some stained cheesecloth to hide the PVC.

Nice peeker! Could you use a styrofoam skull to help offset the weight problem?
Watch out for that dog--he might steal your bones! LOL

If you have any burlap, rip it up a little and throw around it....I've been doing that lately to hide stuff...It's fast with minimal effort and looks good....Great start btw...ZR
