I can't believe I've never thought of a drawer slider for pop ups before! This is genius!

[michaelmeneghetti]

As usual, your tutorials are so very creative and practical. I had not considered a drawer slide for a vertical or horizontal movement mechanism. Always a pleasure seeing your new ideas on YouTube.

[JettBlast]

You never fail to impress! I love learning all these great skills from you, your talent and ability to teach makes this channel so much fun to watch!

[EerieAcresCemetery]

Great build as usual!!! Thanks so much for the shout out!!! Im embarrassed to say out of all the things I've used the draw slide for doing a pop up never occurred to me! Great idea!!

[rhysnybo]

The mechanicism is absolutely a very cool make for this, the build is pretty cool and absolutely like the animictronic Halloween prop pop up

[jerryolding]

I like it really clean and moves great. I am working on a 3 way popup for a tombstone of 3 stooges. one up and 2 sideways.

[jessicapilgreen]

This seems so simple. You make everything look easy! Dare I say that I'm motivated to go build something???

[peterheynen]

Using a ball bearing drawer slide for this is a brilliant idea! Thanks for this tutorial.

[angeladunagin-sellers]

This is awesome! Thank you for being such an inspiration. 😊

[David-mpvc]

Very nice. For the followers of this channel the time has arrived to show off your projects!

[secondamendment]

Love your channel, simply the best, keep up your great works!

[KrazeeKraftZ]

I was looking for something simple to add to my graveyard, thanks. I'll convert everything to metric before uploading to my channel 😁

[theloststoryteller]

Super awesome tutorials!!! Love your videos. Can't wait for the next one!

[ghostofautumnwood]

I'd like to second your shout-out to Eerie Acres Cemetery. I based my hearse design with skulls-and-bones infinity box on his creations.

[AidanRobinsoncreations]

These videos are so entertaining keep it up

[nearmint]

I'm wondering if something like a solenoid could work as an actuator for a quick poo-up jump scare prop.

[markweir]

I was going to look around for a way to make it pop up quicker like on yhe haunted mansion ride, but i think that's air driven.

[fennec]

Can you do a prop like this with a body on it? So that when people look behind the tombstone they don't just see some boards and metal.

[jasonhilbert]

Are you selling a stl of the piece you printed for the bottom of the skull by any chance? Great video!

[czatman]

This is awesome! Can't wait to build one. Unless I missed it, how did you attach the hands to the tombstone? I'm guessing you used a heat gun to be able to shape them.
