Thread: finally finished my hangman.

Tweet

the task at hand was to construct a kicking guy for my gallows and this guy did his part to kick scream and fight me from the get go. weeks later and he's finally finished.
now all you prob builders must have stock in cpvc 3/4" fittings, cause i couldn't find em to save my life. after visiting 3 home depot's, 1 home hardware and a rona, i found all put one fitting i needed for the build (each store had a couple few pieces but selection was limited/picked over)
managed to find the last piece i needed at a copps build all.
super excited and eager to build, turns out one of the pieces was useless.
i don't know how i missed it, but one of my t fittings was a 3/4" to 1/2" t.
so back on the search i went.
same song and dance with the wiper motor. turned out my first motor was junk, so back to the wreckers i did go.

trying to find a pair of used overalls took me all over this great city, and after visiting every used clothing store i could find, i had to settle on a pair of kids overalls.
a lotta time and effort went into this prop, 99 percent of which ws shopping. lol


cpvc skeleton, wrapped in pool noodles and foam.
wiper motor (slow setting) and a 12v 2200ma walwart.
without any further a due, heres stew!



and what would a kicking hangman be without a short vid clip.

i only planned on doing the 3 wiper motor props (ouija,hangman and fcg)
i've had so much fun i might just take on a couple more this year.
enjoy.

Outstanding! Love it. I'll have to try one of those next year. Great job.

thank you. they really are fun to build, and for just a few cheap parts, a fantastic pro for any haunt.

can't leave anything well enough alone.

figured i'd give stew a reason to die on the gallows. looks like he was up to no good and paid for his crimes.

i thought about hanging a sign around his neck (murderer or monster, something to that efffect)

ya think its too much?

Looks great! Only suggestion is bulking the thigh areas a little if you can, when they kick back it looks a bit thin in that area.. but overall fantastic job! thanks for sharing!

How in the world do you hook an old wiper motor to a power source?

I have a set of gallows I just hang a skeleton from but that would be a great project for next Halloween.

Great job!
