So I have been working on an electric chair prop with my dad for about a week and a half now. What we planned to do is to use a jigsaw and drill a hole the the blade and tie a rope from that hole to the spine of a blucky that we already have. We haven't tested it yet as we just got the saw, but we are pretty sure it will work. Here are some of the pics.

What do you think? We are going to put a strobe light in the ribcage so that you can see the ribs through the t-shirt. We also are putting a fog machine with exhaust tubes through the sleeves so it will look like hes getting fried.

I think you are going to melt the rubber hose connected to the output of the fog machine. It will get really hot. Might want to space that off an inch or two. It will still blow the fog through the hose.

The chair looks like a good start to a great prop.

Looks like you have a good start on it.

I used a jig saw for the moving device also. Here are a few pics of how I hooked it up if you are interested.

wow looks great.......?

are you planing to hack the remote for the fogger or are you going to just leave it on full and

scary how is the blade hooked up to the pvc????

We got the blucky dressed and almost completely ready and we have the jigsaw and fog machine in place under the chair. The tubes for the fog are exhaust hoses so it wont melt.

We have everything on a remote control extension cord. And we are going to tie the blade through and on to the skeleton.

UPDATE!!!
So I dressed it and stuffed it properly. What do you think? the jigsaw and fog machine is all hooked up.

So is he going to rise up and down or will the chest go forwards and backwards? I can't tell.

I would setup the smoke machine so it's got a couple inches between it and the pipe you want the smoke to travel through. This does 2 things:
1: Allows a bit of air to mix in with the smoke.
2: Prevents the smoke machine from melting your pipe or starting a fire.

Looks great though! Hope you can share a video of it in action!
