How long is a string? Depends on how large of an air blast. Quick ones, I can usually get like 4-5 or 2 pretty large ones.

Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try the next time I make some castings.

It's only meant to be decorative for prop builds.

I dunno?

Thanks! I was actually archiving the footage from this project when I originally saw your comment.

I'm glad that my video was helpful! One note from using them in practice is that guests, adults and children, would duck down and go under them as opposed to through them. If I made some more this way, I might make them a bit longer than 4ft 6in so people would just go through instead of crawling on the ground underneath.

😆😆

Well, that didn't take very long.... good job!

Thank you! I couldn't find anything about them on YT, so I figured that I'd make a vid discussing them.

Thanks! Have you seen the zombie ones that I made?

Thanks for the tip! I'm not really a plumbing guy, I'm more of a decoration build guy. So far though, I haven't had any issues with anything leaking as of yet.

Go for it! This was a fun build.

Thanks! Hopefully I make more stuff that piques your interest!

If I'm not learning something new, I'm definitely figuring out a better way to do that thing the next time.

That's why I do these things, hopefully I'll inspire people to get out there and make a thing.

Thank you. It was a bit daunting at times while working on it. When I started, I didn't know how I was going to get it painted. I was either going to HAVE to learn how to airbrush or not finish it at all.

Thank you!

Thanks! I'll have to make a follow up video where I use them for a project.

I just hope that you use your newfound powers for good....

I don't know how to help you with that, sorry.

Thanks for the tip! I haven't had an issue with it yet though.

Правильно. Я допустил ошибку с передаточными числами. Я заметил это после того, как опубликовал это видео. Я купил шестерню, у которой в два раза меньше зубьев, чем у той, которую я поседал, и я планирую заменить ее в какой-то момент, просто у меня еще не было времени сделать это. Спасибо за совет!

This kind of machine is for casting polyester and polyurethane etc, not for plastic as far as I know and using one of these machine.

I haven't had an issue with it yet.

Good point. One could be added.

Right? The leftover chunks could used for another project!

Fiber board is mostly made of water-soluble glue. Which means that the first time that it gets water on it, it'll basically melt. It might be cheaper in the short term, but in the long term it'll end up costing more when the fiber board has to be replaced due to moisture damage. I've had some of these plywood panels since 2007 when I did my dark ride and they're still in good condition. Basically, I build stuff for being used 50 years from now instead of building it to work for today and tomorrow. Also, guests can get scared, I have had them turn and try to run away and go face first into a wall panel. The plywood panel survived, the picture frame that was attached to it wasn't so lucky. The fiber board would probably have had a human shaped hole in it like a cartoon. I hope that this helps. I have a more videos on decorating panels. They might give a bit more insight into the benefits of the plywood. I also have several more videos about decorating panels coming down the line.

Thank you! I try to do the best that I'm capable of whenever I work on something. I hope that my videos inspire others to get out there and be creative!

Thank you! The project was bigger than I thought, and the editing was a BEAST. It felt like I'd never get it done!

It really depends on the size of the opening on the air tank. Everything that I used was 1/2" NPT. I'm sure a screenshot and helpful employee at a local hardware store would be enough to get all the right parts. Thank you for the kind words about my videos! I put a lot of work into them.

How many air compressors do you intend to buy? If I want to have this particular effect in 5 or 6 spots in my haunted house, that would be a lot of noisy compressors that are spread out all over the place. Personally, the way that I'd do it is to buy a single high volume compressor and connect multiple effects to it. That way I only have to insulate one location for the noise. Also, if I had the 1 compressor and only drew air from that tank, then used a 100 foot air hose leading from that single air tank, the air coming out of the end of that really long hose won't have any power. The purpose of the yellow air tank is so that the effect has plenty of localized reserve air to draw from. Plus, if I bought a compressor with a 25 gallon tank, that is the max amount of compressed air storage that I would have to run multiple effects at any one time. This adds an additional 5 gallons of space to store the potential energy. Also, If I just used the 1 tank, each time an effect goes off, it decreases the pressure in the tank. If I'm running an entire haunt off of just the 1 tank, the air might be too depleted to make something else work properly. Conversely, if I was running something like a hayride with a big property and everything was spread out, then yes, I would get more than one compressor and do things more like your suggestion. I hope that I explained this well. I'm not the best at explaining concepts like this.
