Every year, our pal Jake von Slatt does something pretty special for Halloween. Over at the Steampunk Workshop, he’s showing some of this year’s work in progress. Here’s a ghost marionette that he made from some 1″ x 2″ planking, a microwave carousel motor, some fishing line, a craft store skull, and some Styrofoam.

    What would really help give the ghost a less mechanical feel would be to incorporate a planetary gear. That would give it a more complex and drawn-out oscillation.
