Hi all,

Ok, I've got a few questions here. I have an idea for next years spook. I'm looking to get a metal pneumatic prop created. It will have to be custom done. Who do I go to? What type of welding does it take to make one of these. I'm just looking to get some basic metal welded together for making an armature so I can add things myself. It will be a step by step process.
I know it's not much inf. because, I just want T created without the upper right line and a line that is angled from left side of base to upper left line of T.

Thanks

Sorry but, I don't have a pic to show what I want. I thought of what it would look like and it's the basic engine lift hoist. Four wheels attached to a flat base. Where the pnuematic pump is I need a solit bracket welded in. The long arm needs to be about groin level for a man so it would be about chest level for a child. The arm doesn't need to move at all. I'm going to put a motor or pnuematic shock at the back to move it out of my garage about three feet so it just comes to the walkway. At the end of the arm I'm going to attach a moving (grabbing) hand. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I had some ideas last night too. I'm going to have to draw up a plan. I decided I want it to break down also and thought of how to do that already. At the back of the unit I'm going to need a scissor action or an extending pneumatic. The scissor needs to extend at least 3 feet and the standionary arm needs to be about 3 feet long to reach the length from the garage door to just short of the walkway. After I have the unit created I'll have to come up with ideas to attach a hand and moving fingers. Something lightweight I can bolt to the end of the stantionary arm. I'll be wrapping everything in vines and such so it will look like a huge bad seed arm. Later on I'll be thinking of how I can get Bad Seed to lear over the top of my house at people. I'm going for the head looking over the house, making comments to the kids and make it look like he is reaching through the garage to grab them when they come up to the house.
