Halloween Motorised Swinging Axe

Hi ! Halloween is coming, and for this year I want to build an horror garden, I've started to build 3 motorised swinging axes, and now I can explain you how to build it. However, I've massively used K'nex to build it, if you want, you can try to build it with other materials.

If you want to build it with k'nex, you can go on these website:
"K'NEX User Group", or "KNEX.com"

So, let see what you need to build a motorised swinging axe !

To build the motorised swinging axe, you need:

-a broom handle ( 120cm on 2,3cm )

-a big brown scotch roll

-a normal scotch roll

-carton

-a gummed craft roll (or big Brown scotch roll)

-hot glue

-cutter

-iron wire

-wooden plate (2cm breadth / 6.8cm thickness)

-a drill

-K'nex parts:

if you don't have enough K'nex parts or if you don't have K'nex, go on "K'NEX User Group", or on "KNEX.com", to buy wath you need.

To instal your motorised swinging axe, I advise you to set it under a car shelter, like me. But, if you don't have car shelter you can suspend it with cable. Or if you have other idea, you can try, but, don't forget to the wooden plate must be totally motionless, and be sure that it won't fale on someone !

Build the axe

-you need carton, brown scotch roll, (and other materials to make the sketch of the axe) for this step.

For this step you need:

-the handle, and K'nex pieces.

You need the axe, the handle, the big brown scotch, and a carton piece of 50 cm by 10 cm.
