Wiper Motor Ground Breaker - Make & Take - "GLFF version of the - Wiper Motor Ground Breaker" $50.00
A "ground breaker" can be a few different ideas. In the GLFF version we will be building the frame of a half torso that looks like he's pushing himself out of a grave with both of his arms, straight up, evenly. This is an economy rendition of the "Wiper Motor Ground Breaker" by Spider Hill Prop Works. This is another exciting moving PVC frame prop workshop by Jim Wieme that you can dress up and set up for your haunt when you're done. This one is a bit more pricey and bit more advanced, but it's also a bit more powerful with the more expensive wiper motor.

Here is a link to the Spider Hill version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA33ibzEKoc

Cost: $50.00, and includes all materials to build your own Ground Breaker.
