  1. Halloween Props
    I have a lot of 3/4” PVC and had the idea to use this as a frame to construct my haunted house walls. But there are going to be a lot of places where the PVC has to fit together in ways where standard connectors won’t work. I do have access to a 3D printer but don’t have any idea how to go about...
  2. General Halloween
    I have been wanting to do this prop for years. Finally drafted a drawing up in March. Building began in May. Due to issues with materials, weather, wind damage, work schedules, etc.; it was finally FULLY completed on Oct 30; just in time for the big night. So many things had to come together in...

    Going for a scary medieval party. Since the cost of wood is still crazy, does anyone have ideas for medieval props built of alternate materials? Also any other generali party ideas are welcome.

  7. Member Introduction
    Hello there from the Bayou State (Louisiana!) Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself on this super awesome forum. I made a PVC fence last year that I originally found linked here (and this is how I found the forum <3 )...I LOVE the way it came out. Almost got divorced over it...
  8. Halloween Props
    If I were to make a scarecrow and choose to use a thick branch (e.g. 1.5") for the vertical pole of the cross, any tips on getting scarecrow to stand? I had the idea of inserting the branch into a couple foot section of 2" PVC. Then I would either build a base for the PVC (concrete block or...

  10. Halloween Props
    Last year I had some large size PVC pipe to cut and wanted a clean cut without all the plastic debris from sawing. Not being someone with a lot of tools or being handy constructing things, I ended up buying an Orbit "1/2 inch-to-2 inch PVC cutting tool" from Home Depot. A bit on the pricey side...

    I decided that instead of uploading these files in a one by one thread, I'd upload these to my Keep and Share account, below is a list of the available files, each one is a direct link to that file. Some are no longer online, you will see some that are obviously still online (there is one here...

I don't have much pictures of how i made it but Ill be updating the tread when I take some pictures. I will say the builsd...

    A few years ago I ran across the "Zombitronix PVC Frame Calculator" for making PVC frame props. I copied and saved the calculator for future reference. Now It appears that since then the website for Zombitronix has been taken down and this calculator is no longer available online...

    Just a suggestion for metal linkage for your props. I know you can use a variety of things like pvc, metal, aluminum, wood or even string. I just bought these 1/4" thick by 3/4" wide aluminum bars. All 12" long. You can input all kind of sizes or lengths on Ebay. I got 10 for $18 free...
  15. Halloween Props
    Hi! I'm new to this forum, and I'm looking to create a PVC armature that's animated. I know there's a website that makes them, but $150 for just the frame is pretty steep. I know a friend of mine suggested a company called Witch Doctor, but I simply cannot find the website anywhere. She said she...
  16. Halloween Props
    My apologies if this design has been posted many times, I sure someone else has thought of it before. And I agree with the experts here, use a real cylinder if building an elaborate and expensive prop. My props are for a hayride, I can manually operate and reset the props. This is a single...
  17. Halloween Props
    I'm new to making custom props and am wondering just how much I should expect to spend for simple pop-up props, like trash can trauma or some other pop-up props complete with sound and lights. Is $100 per prop about right? Is arduino the way to go? Also, for air cylinders, do diy pvc cylinders...
  18. Halloween Props
    Spider rider was made with two beach balls and a foam ball. The legs are pvc pipe covered in foam, solar led lights are on the back ball. Sorry about the picture being sideways, is there a way to fix this?
  19. Halloween Props
    Checking to see who has the best method for making stuff look rusty (cauldrons, pvc cemetery fencing, etc.). I am interested in how you get the right texture, what color(s) you use, any tips at all. And you get extra credit for posting pics...thanks.
