[Lotus]

Updated For You All

[Zombie-F]

I think a Grave Jumper would be sweet.

to make this easy, I'm adding a poll to this thread so people can vote that way and make it easy to keep track of.

[Lotus]

We will just need to find the right cylinder and i will design a new way to make it instead of using pvc. And without having to weld the frame

[Zombie-F]

I think the phantasmechanics site has plans to build one.

[Lotus]

that uses the door closer, I was thinking about using a double stroke cylinder so that it does not need to make a noise as it closes.

[Lotus]

Zombie could make it so people can vote on more then one prop max 3

[Manor Matt]

Hi Lotus,
I'm definitely for a July M&T, but being able to narrow down the list of choices is definitely tough. I'm casting votes for Prop-1 101 & talking skull (can never have too many !) Location, for me, is a moot point (I'll drive just about anywhere for a good prop-building !), I'd offer my house, there's limited space (short driveway, back patio area), and no air (pneumatics). I don't know how 'central' I'd be for others, but figure I'd toss my hat out there (the only weekend not available is 7/19+20). So c'mon everyone, lets get something figured out !

[Zombie-F]

Zombie could make it so people can vote on more then one prop max 3

Ok I fixed it but had to re-start the poll to do so. So, anyone who already voted will need to vote again.

[Lotus]

Thank You Z

[Lotus]

I think the phantasmechanics site has plans to build one.

but the plans look good and cheap, just need to find the right cylinder, takes a 6" stroke, hmmmmmm I wonder where we could get the cylinders hmmmmmmmmmm

[Lotus]

Dean could you tell me how long the 1 1/6 cylinder is with a 6" stroke, I want to see if that will be the perfect match to replace the door closer of it we should go with a bigger stroke

[SpectreTTM]

I'd be very interested just let me check on the available dates.

[SpectreTTM]

Just checked the schedule (the Wife) Looks like the 19th is the only day I can go. Might be able to arrange a sitter one of the other weekends but no promises.

[HalloweenZombie]

I can't make it the weekend of 26-27. I'm on call. The weekend of the 19th would be good for me. The family will be in Virginia, so I will be free! Free as a bird!

[HalloweenZombie]

Joe must be on vacation. He isn't posting every 20 minutes.

[Lotus]

nah I was busy searching for skull whistles

[Terrormaster]

The 20th could work for me.

[Zombie-F]

We better iron out a date soon so we can start amassing the parts to make the grave jumper. :D

[Lotus]

Yea we need to do that and figure out the location

[HalloweenZombie]

We better iron out a date soon so we can start amassing the parts to make the grave jumper. :D

Assuming the grave jumper is what we'll be making. Yeah, I've got the feeling it's in the bag...but if we ever do corpsing, I'd be happy to run that show. I've got 6 buckies corpsed and I'm waiting to start a 7th. That doesn't count the foam skulls and various other body parts I've corpsed out. :zombie:

So far the 19th and the 20th seem to be the favored dates. I hate to pick one because someone will make it and someone won't. Having adult responsibilities sucks.

We need to pick a place as well. Joe's place is awesome (assuming he offers it up again) (plus it comes with a cool dad), but it's quite a haul for most of us. Pyro offered his place at one time, but I'm not sure if the offer still stands. It would be nice if we could find a place between the two.

[Lotus]

I think my parents wil allow me to use my house again, my mom does not care just need to convince my dad

[Lotus]

The 19th or 20th are good for me, I am pretty sure

[Zombie-F]

I think my parents wil allow me to use my house again, my mom does not care just need to convince my dad

What kind of beer does your dad like? I'll bribe him with some brews next time. :D

[Lotus]

What kind of beer does your dad like? I'll bribe him with some brews next time. :D
He is like Ms. Wicked he likes Wine, I'll talk to him today since I am at work

[Lotus]

I am also would on a price list if we are not going to be using a screen door we are have to up the price using a Clippard cylinder with 7" stroke its going to be 31.00$ and some

http://www.clippard.com/images/products/draw/UDR-17.jpg
Making a 11" cylinder a little bit small then what the screen door closer is

[Lotus]

This might be a costy prop, going to need cylinder, soleniod, regulator

[Lotus]

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=36797 we can get these just do like a group buy

[pyro]

dont know if im making this one

[Lotus]

I know i won;t be making one already got 1

[pyro]

meaning the make & take

[Lotus]

Damn you Pyro and not being clear

[Lotus]

Alright the Voting is Done Prop is Gravejumping we will need to figure out wat cylinder to use and the date is either the 19th or 20th

[Lotus]

Forgot to say the Location too

[pyro]

hey joe got a link or a vid on the grave jumper

[Lotus]

http://www.phantasmechanics.com/jumper.html

[Lotus]

Alright I think I found the right cylinder for it

[Lotus]

http://www.geocities.com/mamakeandtake/index.html updated finish the join code and made a sponsors page

[HalloweenZombie]

Pretty kick ass Joe.

[pyro]

cool

[gmacted]

Very nice Joe. You have way too much time on your hands!

[BuriedAlive]

Very cool.

[pyro]

Very nice Joe. You have way too much time on your hands!

see im not the only one who thinks that------:p

[HalloweenZombie]

Don't listen to them Joe. Your time is well spent. Some of us appreciate it.

[Lotus]

I guess i won;t put any of my time to plan anymore...

[Hauntiholik]

They're just jealous of your talents Lotus!:winkvil: You did a great job.

[HalloweenZombie]

So what's the decision on time and place?

[Zombie-F]

I just got a $1200 repair bill for the truck so I don't know if I can afford to build a prop this time. :( I'll still be there though. :)

[Lotus]

I think the Date is going to be July 19th or 20th the prop will be Gravejumper although I think the make and take is a bit too soon to get all the materials together. The Location will be ..... I have no idea

[Lotus]

Forgot to say Sorry for Delay I am very busy now working on my Skeleton Violinist, need to weld out its metal frame and then corpse the bucky to the frame and then add all the pneumatics and controllers

[pyro]

cool- cant wait to see it

[pyro]

tick tick tick tick ---WHERE?

[Terrormaster]

Do we have a parts list yet? I may just come to hang out and be social - bringing Agnes along for show and tell (by special request).

-TM

[pyro]

Oooooooooooooo I Want To See That

[Lotus]

Do we have a parts list yet? I may just come to hang out and be social - bringing Agnes along for show and tell (by special request).

Don't think we are going to make the grave jumper this time because I am to busy to teach it, create a parts list, and find the cylinder "I found one but its going
to cost to much"

tick tick tick tick ---WHERE?
As to where the only place we got so far is my place and I don't know if I can even host it.

[HalloweenZombie]

Maybe we should push back the date. Another suggestion: If we are going to build an expensive prop, we need to build a cheap prop too, this way everyone gets to make something. It's a make and take, not a sit and watch. I don't like to see people left out.

[Lotus]

I think we should do something simple for this make and take

[Manor Matt]

Nice job on the page Joe!
I just found out my wife reserved a campsite in NH for the weekend of the 18th to 21st, so I won't be able to make it if it's on that weekend. (although I 'do' still have to now dig through the pile of props & supplies in the garage to get to all our camping gear ! *ugh*). I will be there in 'spirit' while wallowing in the woods trying not to start lashing twigs together to make a campsite popup.....lol
The next time I'll probably see any of you will be in Salem at the Gathering...(which is also right 'round the corner, *ack*! )

[Lotus]

Alright I think I got the OK for hosting again, but need to make sure tonight, also we will not be making the grave jumper and will just be doing something else that will be a lot easier probably Crucifying a blucky/bucky since it was the second place item. So if anyone would like to teach it I would really appreciate it

[Terrormaster]

Corpsifying works for me - I just picked up some liquid latex from AC Moore yesterday (yea I finally got some). Will just need a blucky, some cotton and/or paper towels, and some stain.

-TM

[Lotus]

I guess I will go buy some plastic drop clothes to cover the tables

[Lotus]

Looks like a no go at my place as of right now but I will try asking them again

[Lotus]

Looks like they are now Ok with it

[pyro]

well its a 70/30 chance that im working this weekend coming so i wont be there. maybe aug.

[Lotus]

I'll work on making a parts list and an agenda

[Lotus]

Do we still have an interest in this make and take?????

[Zombie-F]

I do!

[Lotus]

Alright we will be doing corpsing I have not done corpsing alot but if no one else wants to teach it I guess I will,

material need really are:
1. Several pairs of xl pantyhose
2. Latex
3. Plastic wrap (optional)
4. spray ahesive (needed if you are going to use cotton or plastic wrap)
5. a roll of cotton (optional)
6. a blucky, bucky
7. Paint brushes

[HalloweenZombie]

I'm still interested. If you guys want to corpse I'll be happy to teach. There's lots of ways to do it, so supplies will vary. Also, you can corpse more than just buckies and bluckies. I've corpsed foam skulls, pictures, book covers and masks. So the supply options are:

SUBJECT (chose one and bring it with you):
Bucky
Blucky
skull (if you still have a skull we made at a previous make and take, that will work)
human/animal shaped prop
book
picture w/frame
pick your own creative item
mask
gloves
t-shirt

LATEX:
Latex can be purchased at A.C. Moore in the same isle as the clay. Look for A.C. Moore coupons (sometimes 40% to 50% off any one item)
Mask/prop latex can be purchased through bodybagging.com or screamlinestudios.com, but I'm not sure it will come in on time. I have a couple of gallons of Screamline latex left, so if you can't get your own you can buy some from me. I'll only charge what I paid.

MATERIAL:
Cotton Batting (Low loft, real cotton only)
Cotton Balls
Stretchy Webbing

COLORING: (choose one or more)
Stain
Latex Paint
Acrylic Paint

SUPPLIES:
chip Brushes (cannot be cleaned after used with latex)
cups, cans, jars or buckets (for mixing paint and latex)
junk clothes (for you, not your corpse)
rags
plastic painter's sheets (we don't want to mess up Joe's garage)

I just bought a box of 36 chip brushes for 6.00 and 4 9 x 12 plastic drop sheets. And I got some of my expired latex that is more like a paste then a liquid which works awesome. I also am going to be buying some tables so I don't need to keep on taking them ones from work because I am afraid of one time not being able to get them.

***IF you don't got a blucky and wanted to corpse one you can find them at MONSTER GUTS (http://www.monsterguts.com/skeleton-props/b/w-blow-mold-skeleton-blucky-/prod_137.html) Dean is awesome and he ships super fast and you can get it within 2 days usually***

[Zombie-F]

I have a bucky I could corpse. The only corpsing I've ever done is with just wood stain. I'd love to take a stab at it with the extra supplies to give him an even ooier, gooer look.

[HalloweenZombie]

We can do gooey.

[Terrormaster]

Gonna balance my budget tomorrow and make sure I got all the stuff. We're shooting for the 20th right?

Yea July 20th

[Terrormaster]

LOL, did I scare everyone off?! Hehe. Of course we might have to piece Pyro back together first.

Well, if we don't have enough people, I've missed the last 3, so waiting till August to do 4 wouldn't kill me... I'm available, but who's coming so far?

How fast is BodyBaggin's shipping, if I order a 5 gal bucket would I have it time?

Also, from what time to what time is it for?

[Terrormaster]

Okies, put in an order for a couple bluckies from Dean. Didn't realize he was that close to me - don't know if he drop ships or keeps an active inventory though - can make the difference with ship time.

I know latex takes a bit to dry - any thoughts on how we transport the finished stuff back home?

-TM

[Lotus]

prolly use the plastic painters drop cloths to bring them home so don't forget to bring one, if Dean is coming to the make and take he will prolly just bring the blucky to you


YOU HEAR THAT DEAN YOU SHOULD COME TO THE MAKE AND TAKE

[Terrormaster]

That'd be cool. I made sure to note in the shipping instructions that it was Terrormaster from HF and I needed the Blucky for the MnT on Sunday.

So Dean, do I still pay shipping or do I need to cover your gas? hehee ;)

-TM

[BuriedAlive]

Thanks for the order, TM. It is received and will ship to you tomorrow. You'll have it by Thursday at the latest. My courier came wicked early today so I couldn't get it out today like I wanted.
As for the Make-n-Take, I can't go. My wife is spending the day at the casino to spend money in Bingo and slot machines with her family that's coming from out of state, leaving me to Mr. Mom it with my daughter. Wish I could make it, I need to corpse a Bucky I have here. I haven't seen you guys in so long, it'd be good to hang out and chat. Oh well, there's still ECHC I guess.

Why don't ya bring your daughter and I'll bring mine and we can teach em how to corpse a blucky! hehehe

[BuriedAlive]

My daughter has played active roles in prop building for awhile. I would bring her, but the issue would be her shyness around strangers. She'd be clinging to me the whole time, asking to go home. I wouldn't get anything accomplished.
How old is your daughter?

[Lotus]

I think if we bring some of the Dora cups she won't be shy

She turns six at the beginning of Aug. My daughter is the exact opposite and I always have to watch her and strangers. She talks to anyone and everyone sharing all our bidniz with complete strangers.

-TM

[BuriedAlive]

My little girl is three, so I guess she hasn't reached that "be kind to strangers" stage.

Actually, Joey, my daughter wouldn't be phased by Dora cups. She's not your typical 3 yr. old. She watches Spider-Man and his amazing friends (she makes me proud). We've watched the complete series about 3,000,000 times. I'm not sure if Ella has even sat through an entire Dora episode yet. Not that I'm complaining. We'll let Vic's kids enjoy the Dora cups.

[pyro]

are you sure its vic 's kids and not vic

Hey TM

You got one of those as well. It's amazing how many time we have been sold up the River. ;)

My daughter turns 6 on Aug 21st. :D

How is she with Scarey stuff? My daughter was fine until she hit just 4 then she was afraid of he own shadow. BuT I think her Mother had something to do with that :(

[Lotus]

YouTube- Spiderman and his amazing friends Intro we can watch this at the make and take

[HalloweenZombie]

That's it. No more Dora cups. It's not like I brought Barney cups.

My girls watch the old Dungeons and Dragons cartoon series over and over and over again.

Don't worry Vic I got some dora cups for you

As much as I would like to attend, my sister is coming down from Maine to help me do some double digging (ugh!) in my garden this weekend, so I can't. What I really need is a "help me make & take"! My son and I are having sooo much trouble making our cauldron witch, very frustrated with it right now. But, we will keep going until we get it right (hopefully before Halloween!). Anyway, thanks for the invite Lotus, and maybe next time.:smileton

Feel free to ask any questions about what I have so far. Not to mention there's others who have done the ScareFX witches - help is always here.

Darn gardens, this would have been a good one for you to attend since I'm bringing Agnes.

My thoughts exactly TM! But, since my sister is doing this for me and buying all the new plants as a gift, I really can't say this weekend isn't good for me:(

[SpectreTTM]

Hey Lotus,

Unfortunately, Sunday is bad for me. Maybe next time.

Have fun Guys.

[Denhaunt]

Hey guys. I'm late to this thread but this sounds pretty fun. Is it still on? If that location (or any in the future) doesnt work out, I have a nice home with an excellent workshop (and a bar in the next room). I live outside of Manchester, NH but that's only a 45 min drive from the Boston area. Lots of indoor and outdoor space. Will almost never be a problem to have out here no matter how many people show up.

Is it too late to include myself in this weekend's fun? I'd like to come. Please let me know.

Thanks

[Lotus]

Its never to late I sent you a privite message with all the details

I'd be game for that. But Unfortunately it would be tough for the people sout of Boston. :(

[Terrormaster]

I agree with Spectre - offer appreciated but it's already an hour and 1/2 drive to Lotus' place as it is. And due to the cost of gas and distance this might be my only MnT this year. Might be a toss up between MnT #2 for me or NEHC.

Damn it - may have to cancel - stay tuned.

[HalloweenZombie]

Nooooo! Don't cancel! Nooooo!

If Terrormaster cancels, can this be moved to Saturday so others can attend? I'm pretty sure we made it Sunday to accommodate TM. We may get a few more people on Saturday, if it's not too late.

That could work just would need to find out if TM can't make it and if everyone that was able to do saturday still are

[Terrormaster]

Why don't you guys go ahead and do that. There's just way too many family things cropping up for me that's conflicting with me going which are causing headaches on this end. Looks like it would be best for everyone involved. And as always I appreciate all the efforts to accommodate why wacked out schedule.

Alright Guys it looks like the make and take is going to be on Saturday, but before that we need to find out if its OK with Zombie-F, HalloweenZombie, and Denhaunt, I have already sent them all private messages and will be sending out a private message to everyone that belongs to this group. If its just going to be we 3 people attending I would still like to have this make and take but I don't make the decisions I let everyone have a say.

[Lotus]

So far its going to just be HalloweenZombie and Me

[Terrormaster]

I really feel bad for bailing again. I think realistically though the only way I'll make it to one is to have enough notice to be able to schedule a weekday out of the office and be at a location thats closer than 1.5h drive. Sundays are the only days really where no one is working and we're all home so typically it's family day. But also the only day I know I don't need sitter if I need to do something. Not to mention things in my life always seem to crop up last minute.

And Dean, thanks a million for getting the bluckies out to me so fast. I got them yesterday - my daughter loves the cricket! I'll definitely be ordering more stuff from you before the season kicks in.

Looks like we may have to cancel the make and take the people that said saturday was good for them already made plans but i have not gotten replies from everyone.


I am still willing to host it though

[HalloweenZombie]

Give them some time. Not everyone can logon from work. You haven't gotten definite no's from people. If we get four people we can still do this thing. If not, we'll cancel. It is a busy time for everyone. It's going to become harder to get people the closer we get to October. That's OK. We'll go nuts with this come November.
