The new chip came today and of course I had to test her out. This is flipping awesome! I will start videos this weekend.
On another note: I am still sorting through the goodies from Eric lots and lots of goodies.
Tom came by today and dropped off all the pneumatics and electrical stuff I pulled from his place. He has a large air compressor for me but it needs a new motor 5hp single phase about 3600 rpm, if anyone has one around. Oh and if anyone has shelving or bookcases I really need to organize the garage before my hubby gets to upset.
Okay I am back to work.

THE CONCEPT
As I sit wandering and browsing the infinite universe of the internet looking for ideas for this years' haunt I found some easy to follow DIY instructions for animated skeletons. Being how I just adore The Nightmare Before Christmas I have decided to go with that theme and create some animatronic characters to sing and move in my Halloween / Christmas animated light show. My goal is to create several of the characters in life size scale along with a few of the movie props as well. This blog will be a documentation of this journey to reality.
