May we have a May Make and Take?

[HalloweenZombie]

Shall we get together in the latter half of May? We need two things: Place and project.

[Denhaunt]

The last place was pretty cool even if it was a bit of a drive. It allowed for some new faces, though. Who knows - maybe Dave won't even weeny out of this one :). If that's no good, there's always my place (I vote for this option!)

As far as project, I've really been wanting to build a "spitter" and I nominate Joey to lead the charge. I like this prop because, seriously, what prop do you own that wouldn't be more effective if it sprayed a mysterious liquid onto those who wondered too close?

Having said all that, as you know, I'm easy and will more than likely be on board with anything you guys want to do.

[hawkchucker]

count me in

A Spitter is really easy all you need a pneumatic fitting

My Place is available too

[Manor Matt]

I'm in for it... doesn't matter to me where it is, just need the date !

[Zombie-F]

May 28th is the Boston Zombie March and I'm going to that, but (I think) any other weekend is fine at the end of the month.

[sherwood asylum]

Im in. what ever u guys wanna build is cool with me

[snowmand03]

May 21 is my only free Saturday/Weekend... we're starting our Ghost Hunts and I have meeting after meeting in May. If that's not doable, no worries, i'll try to catch the next one.

[HalloweenZombie]

I'm good with May 21st too I think.
Joe, can you give us an idea of what the spitter mechanism would cost? That usually factors into people's participation. I notice the more expensive projects have lower attendance.
It seems we have an abundance of places to hold this Make and Take, which is a good problem to have considering we've had a lack of locations in the past. Any suggestions on how we decide?

[sherwood asylum]

just an idea,
we could vote. everyone post which place they think would be best and tally them up

[Zombie-F]

My vote goes to My House. :p

[HalloweenZombie]

Here are the possible locations:
Denny's house Hooksett, NH
Dave's house Pembroke, MA
Boy Scouts Lodge Douglas, MA (Have to make a prop for the boy scouts, but no weather issues)
Joe's house Sterling, MA (Large garage, no weather issues)
And I'm not sure if David is volunteering Fort Adams this time around, but that's in Newport, RI

[Lotus]

Spitter is simply a fitting the main aspect is hiding and fitting the fitting in the prop it cost around 20$ +shipping if we want I can order the fitting so we save on shipping I use another way to do spitter too but it cost to much to do a make and take on it

Note Hiding it in a bucky can be a little hard but worth it
Sample of what it does
YouTube - Spitter Prop
This is what the ToTs see
YouTube - Steamer Trunk Prop

[CarolTerror]

At some point, the House of Terra will host a M&T, but we won't be ready for May. But we definitely want to make this one - I was bumming over missing the last one, but the damn class I was taking was already paid for.

[CarolTerror]

I vote for Denny's place in Hooksett, but I doubt that surprises anyone. :D

ETA: But I'll go anywhere. I'm a Hallow-ho, that way...

WooHoo...looks like this thing is coming together nicely. I say we just lock in the 21st as the date. Location matters little to me but if I had to pick it would be Dave's, Joey's, or (of course) my place.

Oh, and, hello Carol - welcome back to the party!

[Denhaunt]

Joey - what is the trigger mech? Can I use a prop controller to sync everything up? I plan on waaayyyy over complicating this one. I should have a mostly finished prop ready to install (I just have no idea what it's gonna look like yet).

runs off of a solenoid which we are also going to need just a simply 2 way solenoid 1/4 NPT. In the video the prop runs off of a prop 1 using a pressure mat and 2 solenoids

[Lotus]

Just a side note to everyone this project is a pneumatic project so it will cost some money about 60$ but well worth it in the long run. You may want to try to find some of the stuff on Ebay but if you don't have a lot of knowledge on pneumatics I would not suggest doing it. You might find a 2 way solenoid and think its a 1/4 port and end up with a 7/32" port or get a 120 volt solenoid when you need it to be 12 or 24 volt to run off a prop 1. You need some knowledge to know that a SMC NVFS2100-5FZ-01T means it is a 24volt Valve and Manifold with 1/8 NPT Fittings. I would suggest you buy your stuff from Dean at Monster Guts because he is awesome and has sponsored some of our make and takes.

If we choose to do this project
Parts list would be

[sherwood asylum]

i vote for the douglas location just because i know how to get there but i will drive to where ever it ends up at

[partsman]

Sorry guys, I wont be able to make this one, as I've just spent a bout load of money on a classic Land Rover, and can't afford to do anything for a few months. I hope to make the next one or the one after that. I had a blast at the last one and hope we can do another in Douglas again soon.
Harvey

[HalloweenZombie]

Hey, Joe. Could you contact Dean and see if maybe he can put together a package for us? I'm pretty sure he has the tubing and if there are enough of us he might be willing to bulk buy parts for us as well, even if he doesn't normally stock them.

[Lotus]

Knowing Dean he has prolly seen this post but I will send him a message tonight about it

[snowmand03]

Here are the possible locations:
Denny's house Hooksett, NH
Dave's house Pembroke, MA
Boy Scouts Lodge Douglas, MA (Have to make a prop for the boy scouts, but no weather issues)
Joe's house Sterling, MA (Large garage, no weather issues)
And I'm not sure if David is volunteering Fort Adams this time around, but that's in Newport, RI

The fort is available -- I would vote for that, and the Douglas, MA location (can we vote twice?)

[Lotus]

I might of found a much cheaper way to do it will need to build a prototype and see if i like the results

[HalloweenZombie]

I'm voting for Douglas MA, simply because it seems to be centrally located for everyone, even though it's an hour and a half ride for me. I'm pretty sure John could hook us up with a compressor.

Would it be possible for someone to create a poll for voting like we do with the dvd covers and prop challenges? I'd do it myself, but I haven't got a clue.

Lets say the Deadline for Voting is Wednesday April 27,2011

Thanks for setting that up Dave. Some people might not get a chance to login in time for a 27th deadline. Maybe we should extend the voting until the end of April at least.

Hmmm...let's see, awesome BBQ at Dave's or killer pizza in Douglas? The drive's shorter for me to Dave's - so that still gets my vote (+ there always seems to be a bottle of jagermeister in the freezer:))

Joey - they both look cool.

[sherwood asylum]

ya joey both spitters look like they work great

OK, then. Since the vote was split down the middle, who voted for Denny's house? That person will be the tie breaker. I'm assuming it was Denny, but it could have been someone else. If it was Denny, then he just voted for Dave's. We'll go with that. If it was someone else, speak up to break the tie.

Nope, oddly enough, it wasn't me. I originally voted for Dave's - not because I like driving but because I'm a bit of a realist and I understand that most people wouldn't make the trip.

Alright guys if you want to order the spitter fitting you want to go to Here (http://www.poweraire.com/series-vacuum-ejector-nozzle-tube-silencer-p-2635.html) the down fall of this store is the shipping we would be much better to just do one order and play like 1.50$ each for shipping instead of 10$

[Manor Matt]

So, do we want to do this as a 'group buy'? I'm in for (2) myself. I'll wait to order mine to see what everyone else says.

[Manor Matt]

Hi Everyone !
Joe asked me to post a notice here asking if anyone was interested in purchasing the spitter for the M&T as part of a 'group buy' to save some $$ on S&H, please post back both here & on the Mass Make & Take FB page (https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_146726758731501&ap=1). We are running out of time and would need to get the order ready to put in as soon as possible to be sure the parts arrive in time for the M&T.

[CarolTerror]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... *slap* WHA...??? Huh...??? Oh - HI!!

Sorry - sleeping at the wheel. :)

Anyway - I'd definitely love to get in on the group buy for spitter materials - I'll look over the thread in the meantime and see the particulars.

[CarolTerror]

As for the location situation... well... it seems to me that it would be fortuitous if we were in a location that has a compressor, doesn't it?

So I suppose that my re-vote would be for Boris'... um - I mean... DAVE'S house.... :D

[HalloweenZombie]

I think the voting was a bit skewed by the "NO compressor" title for Douglas (John said he'd bring his), but I'm glad we finally have a location. Dave's house it is!

[CarolTerror]

Well - the Douglas location *still* doesn't have Boris... ;)

[sherwood asylum]

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to let you all know that there is going to be a group buy on the spitter fittings so that we can save on shipping cost they would be about 20.00$ each fitting and 2$ shipping "Right now" I know that

Matt is down for 2
Vic is down for 1
Denny is down for 1
Sherwood is down for 1
Carol is down for 1
Zombie is down for 2

I know to know (ASAP) if Madscientist70, Hawkchucker, Snowmand03 are interested in this group buy or if they are going to do the make and take

Hey Guys,

My College just emailed me a message about graduation, right now I don't see it possible for me to make it to this make and take because I won't be done graduation until 1:30 at the earliest, and then drive to Dave that will take me almost 2 hours to get there. I have one suggestion for this I am willing to host the make and take at my place, otherwise we will have to reschedule this make and take and teach something else on Saturday.

I would skip my graduation but my mom has already paid a photographer

[Zombie-F]

Let's do it at Joe's place then. There is a threat of rain for the weekend and if that happens we won't be able to work with power tools and such at my place.

Okay - quick question regarding the 2 Way Solenoid Valve.

The shopping list indicates that the choice of voltage depends on how you want to trigger the prop. Um - this will be my first foray into pneumatics and, frankly, I'm not sure. I would certainly be going as low-tech as possible, practically speaking.

Any suggestions, anyone?
I'd be happy for any info anyone wants to offer, or any link I'm pointed towards...

go with 12v because sooner or later you will be hooking it up to a prop controller, just will need to get a 12volt P/S and we can make you a push button switch like this http://monsterguts.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=222 I think I got all the stuff in my shop

Carol, the 110 voltage is what you plug into your wall. You could stop and start the spitter with a power strip that has an on/off switch or one of those christmas tree foot buttons to keep it simple. If you want to go with the 12 vdc, that's fine too, you just have to get an adapter. Also, if you are going with a controller of some sort, go with 12 vdc.

Hey Guys

I have some extremely bad new the package of fittings has just hit a snag in shipping and is now delayed and won't be here until monday, I am trying to get in contact with the store and see if they can overnight another set of fittings, but I don't know how lucky I will be. So we are going to either have to cancel this or come up with a bring your own project.

I still want to get together. I've got lots of my own projects I want to work on. I'd say we could switch the location back to Dave's house, but it looks like rain for Saturday. Joe, are you still good with having this at your house? If not, maybe we could make it Douglas. I WANT TO BUILD PROPS WITH MY HAUNTER FRIENDS NO MATTER WHAT!

yea my house is free to use, If the package makes it into MA sort facility I should be able to pick it up there if it shows up on friday. Also I will do a demo one pneumatics since we got a few new people and this was going to be their first pneumatic prop.
So fucking pissed off at them right now it took them 3 days to ship out my order, and the sales department guarantee it would be here Friday time to get them to pay for their mistakes.

FITTINGS ARE HERE

THE COMPANY DID TWO SHIPMENTS they gave me free overnight Shipping at least i think they did shipping label says it was 3 day which makes no sense

[Denhaunt]

[Zombie-F]

Phew. That was a close one. See you all tomorrow. Let's make and take like it's the end of the world (because it is). :)

Alright I picked up Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, and Sausage and I am making Macaroni Salad

And my FAMOUS BROWNIES

If anyone wants to bring anything else go for it

[Manor Matt]

Captain Tripps finally passed over me, so I'll be making it too. I was going to bring a big pack of steak tips to put on the grill too, wasn't sure what else we need or what others want....

[Lotus]

I hope u guys like Heineken, you will figure one why tomorrow

[Manor Matt]

are we going to use Heineken bottles as reservoirs for the spitter fitting tests ?!? I'd be ok with that, but pressurizing glass bottles I'm a little less enthusiastic about...LOL

[Hell Hound]

C'mon Matt... where's your sense of adventure?? getting bloodied up just helps sell the prop!

Stacey and I will pick up pre-real food stuff, some chips and salsa or something along those lines. See you all tomorrow!

I'm going to have everything except the solenoid. Didn't get an order in with Dean yet.

Power supplies... damn, I have a drawer full of them. I save those things from everything!

I'm also going to bring my shirt for my zombie costume for the Zombie Walk. I want to spill grease, ketchup, mustard, etc on it to make it look kinda gross. :)

Hey Guys

Had a great time and thanks to all that came, also if anyone wants another spitter fitting let me know I got a few extra.

Also Vic my mom says you are the nicest guy she has ever meet cause of Dora The Explorer

[HalloweenZombie]

I had a great time. That spitting mechanism is going to come in handy. Joe, thanks for hosting and ordering the parts we needed. And please please thank your Mom and Dad for me. They always make us feel welcome. And your Mom probably meant I was nice for putting up with the Dora comments. :-)
Also, thanks to Matt for the hand molds. I appreciate it.
It was great hanging out with all of you and I hope we can do it again soon.

[Hell Hound]

Just want to say thanks to Joe! The make and take was awesome!! We had a great time, and can't wait for the next one!! It was a lot of fun getting to see everyone!

[CarolTerror]

YAY!! That was an awesome Make & Take - thank you very much, Joe!!

[Zombie-F]

I love having a spitter now. I think I want to mount it in either a snake or a spider. hehe.

Thanks for getting this all together Joe and for hosting too. Your parents are way too cool for letting us do these at their place. Be sure to thank them for me. :)

[Manor Matt]

Thanks from me too Joe ! Had a great time. Pass on my thanks to your folks also (so, how many figures has dad started/finished yet ?...lol)
Looking forward to rigging up the spitters, I was going to have my spider shooting a rigged-up GID silly string can.. now I don't have to rig it up (*and* less chance of having an accidental 'blowtorch' with the silly string's flammable propellants)....
@ Vic: glad I could have given you 'a hand' (or 2),
and I'm actually looking for the information from the molding M&T @ Dave's, as I need to order more 2 part 'skin' & also the molding wax, (I have an older oval crock I'm looking to 'claim' from the house...lol)

*Edit*.. actually just searched forums & found the thread for that M&T with the wax, etc...
