Making a Leaf Blower Powered Inflatable Air Dancer !

#thdprospective #homedepotpartner #makerspace
Today we are making a leaf blower powered Inflatable-Flailing-Arm-Dancing-Thing.... waving inflatable tube guy.... wacky waving tube man...We still aren't really sure what these are called. But you get it: The Car Dealership Things.
We wanted to make one powered by our Makita 18v Blower... or rather see if we could. We started this build unsure if it was going to even be feasible for the size finished guy we were hoping for.
We love projects that use a wide range of tools and processes, and this wound up being one of those. Making this used the See Me CNC 3D printers, sewing machines, and our Laguna EX Laser Cutter.
We hope this makes you smile as much as it made us smile :)
