Also made a Skeletal Blacksmith to add to the Yard Haunt this year. Used a wiper motor to power the hammer arm.

Forgot the final shot in my last post. Emmeline’s lunge scare!
She scared more than a few people for sure 😂🤣😂

Got a new animatronic for the Yard Haunt this year and had a last min idea to really make her fit in.
Built a crypt with the wall panels I wasn’t using in this years setup.
It turned out really wells. I’ll tweak it next year to make it look better 🤘💀🤘

Also shaped and drilled a few mini-choppers this weekend. Just need to get initial bevels on these and they are ready for heat treating.

Knocked out some more blade bevels and prepped a few more for beveling with the new Vevor grinder jig.
Really loving how that thing is preforming and the time it’s saving, not to mention the consistency it helps maintain.

When they say always follow the rules

Time for a little Lego brick-therapy while catching up on some shows tonight.
🤘😁🤘

New grinder accessory needed a 1/2” bolt to mount it.
What size do I currently NOT have?
Yup, Murphy’s Law Strikes Again
However, I DO have 1/2” round bar stock so…
Need a tool, Make a tool!
Suck It Murphy!

Got in some low-tech therapy yesterday grinding out a variety of blade shapes from some Damascus drops.
New grinding jig showed up in time to begin beveling a few before calling it a day today. Still working out how I want to bevel some of the rest of the lot.
More fun for after work this week
🖖😁🤘
