Thread: Tombstone Lifter question

Tweet

Saw this fella at Spirit yesterday and I really liked him. It may have been because I'd never seen this done before. But the tombstone starts on the ground in front of the GB, then he slowly lifts it up and over his head. It's pretty cool affect; imo.
My question: anybody ever made one? Be interested in knowing how.
Thanx!

I did something similar.Mine didnt stop at the top.Just mase the same motion.I had sound effects on it for Halloween.


I used a stryofoam groundbreaker I had ,PVC and a wiper motor.

Oh My Goodness, Skullboy!! I love that! looks better than the Spirit one!!
I've never worked with wiper motors. Only moving thing I've done is with a shiatsu massager. But I want to learn how to use the wiper motors! Have a couple of projects in mind using them for next year. Any way you can do a how- to? please.

i have the spirit one... and after i bought it, i thought... why didn't i build this myself?

good job to skullboy above who posted the video!

How did you slow the wiper motor down that much?

You can slow the wiper down by the voltage used.
I have the spirit one and for the price he is a great addition.
I am not using him this year as I try to keep everything fresh by adding new props.
I would also love a how to skull boy.

target has it and its a cheaper price. he looks like the crpyt keeper from tales for the crypt

Never did a how to on anything.Aint a good speaker.I can dig up more pics I have.It was really only trial and error.

I have last years and it doesn't have the blue leds that shine on the face when the stone is overhead. But I waited till it restocked after halloween last year and got him cause I really like it too. I'm looking forward to using him this year!

I have the Spirit one and I actually like him a lot.
