Working on my PLiNKO game.

I had to build a drill jig for my 3D printer so I could drill the peg holes square to the board . I described it to my machine shop guru son and was asking him questions about how to get the angles to show up and the measurement constraints in the Fusion program we use to draw out and convert to 3D print jobs. I gave him a drawing with dimensions,

then, while I was asking him questions about how I could do it, he sent me this.

I had my phone on all day listening to the oldies whilst I was setting up my Halloween display.

Stupid me, I ran out of battery so not too many pictures and I was too busy to take them anyway. At one time around 8:30, we had kids lined up down the driveway and into the street. I had so many kids and parents thank me for my work putting on the shows and games they talk about it all year and cannot wait to see what I have for them next. I have a lot of ideas but I'm only one guy and cannot get to all the decorating and setting up I really want to do. I wanted to set up my UFO again this year but the winds prior to Halloween scared me off and I never had time to do it. It takes a whole day to set it up. and I have two of them. Maybe next year.

Anyway, the kids shackled themselves to my dungeon walls and were "electrocuted" when I threw the switch.

Pull this up full screen to get the real effect.

My switch was made from a discarded vacuum cleaner handle. and wood with a limit switch and terminal strip for easy assembly. The switch arm holder is a screw on the wall broomstick clamp.

I wish I could have taken pictures of the people having fun but my wifey is scared of liability.
