$25 Gibbet Cage Build

One of the best ones that I have seen. There are plenty of PVC gibbets around but I have yet to see one turn out so well, especially with a budget of only $25.00. Very well done.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. This was a project that I have been wanting to do for some time, but was looking for just the right material that would be easy to manipulate into somewhat realistic looking bars.

I plan to purchase a bucky to display inside and hang it from the rafters on the front of my house this Halloween. Now if I could just figure out how to make a 3 axis bucky skull talk!

Really GREAT looking!! I like it a lot. The paint job really makes it. I'll play devil's advocate though - now that it's assembled and painted how will you get a bucky skeleton INTO it?

Good question, Uruk!

The cage comes apart quite easy with just a few turns of the bolts with your hand. I left them semi-loose so that it could be taken apart for storage. I guess I could just assembly the bucky from within the cage too. Even after staining, the bucky could be taken apart.

But now that you mention it, I might just modify the cage to include a door. That would allow me to make a rusty lock like Herman's Secret did.

Thanks for the question.
