New Member looking for good Halloween Ideas

Hi everybody!

Jamie here and I'm looking for some good Halloween ideas for this coming year - I've got all kinds of hobbies and I think they have all lead me to this next hobby - Halloween stuff!

A little bit about me - I am a software developer by day and my hobbies include; CNC, 3d printing, metalworking, woodworking, electronics, metal casting

I have built my own CNC machine that can mill wood and aluminum about the size of 33" X 44" - I have also build a Reprap 3d Printer and I have an Enco Mill / Drill / Lathe... I have a homemade aluminum foundry as well for casting aluminum parts (so far I've mostly done lost foam casting)

I really want to get into animated Halloween props - either pneumatic or servo controlled - using micro controllers (like the Parallax Propeller or Arduino)

anyway I'm sure I'll find what I'm looking for here in the forums - so I'm going to go get searching!
