The thing about PVC cement is this. It is a solvent and basically welds pvc together. It is not a 'glue'. When you use it, you have to make sure all of your fittings are correct and line up AS SOON AS THE PIECES TOUCH. I build props for films and Halloween effects as well and have used PVC for years. It is tricky, but the results are solid and permanent. The problem you had is pretty typical when rushing, but it happens to everyone who uses this a medium at some point in time. 😊❤👍
I am talking with my brother about doing something like this and came up with a few extra ideas. So figured I'd pitch them here to maybe help you further your build. Maybe for the part 2 overly complicated version for veteran makers. Lights in the tube, but I'm also thinking uv lights at the top half. If the candy has glow in the dark on the wrapper extra points. Low lyeing fog through the tub as well so that it's pouring candy and fog ( you can get smell oils for fog to make them smell really good). And it would be cool to do a sound card arduino so that as the candy comes down it triggers the lights, and a sound effect. Also think attaching a GoPro to the tube or near it to timelapse all the costumes coming up. To get extra crazy a hopper and a way to despense a standard handful every time with a crank it push of a handle or whatever. My parents have a iron gate in their entryway and I'm thinking pushing the tube through the gate to further keep kids back plus it works as half the mounting system. We also 3d print so I think it would be cool to modify a skull model to specifically fit a pvc pipe like a end cap. Would also be cool to have a small table under it where kids should put their bag/bin for proper despensing. Anyways here's 5 mins of over complicated brainstorming.
I’m using a fish net attached to a pole for the 6ft distance. I hand out pop, chips, cookies, and other treats. So I need it to be versatile. 3 weeks until I start decorating. Already sorting through the decorations in preparation.
In my town people know when it's getting close to Halloween, I have 2 skeletons that ride in the car with me and everyone loves it. There names are Mary Kate and Ashley, and they have been riding with me for the past 3 years.
That is a great idea! I was going to do a table with candy in pre-sorted baggies, but sliding the baggies of candy down a decorated 6-foot pipe is really inventive!
Yeah cuz you know, screw the kids. Who cares if they're getting candy from infected houses as long as they don't come near you right? One infected person handing out candy can infect the entire neighborhood. Find alternatives to celebrate without trick or treating.
You are joking right? Please tell me you are not serious. Where is this "new" update from the CDC that kids don't get Covid (or are not effected by it) and are just carriers?
@@missaedu2055 WASHINGTON - Children can transmit the coronavirus, a new study of childcare centers in Utah conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows, but they do not get sick themselves. The new findings, released Friday, bolster previous research on childhood infections, and come from extensive contract tracing at three daycare centers in Salt Lake City between April 1 and July 10. Those findings could help shape the intense debate about how to reopen schools safely as the coronavirus continues to sicken thousands and kill hundreds daily.
I'm definitely doing this! My house sits on a hill and I have a railing with the perfect pitch. I like the addition of the skull at the "mouth" of the tube.
@@WickedMakers notii hi big to be ashamed of! That is one of my goals to have so many decorations at Halloween that I would need an attic or shed to store them all when I get a house down the road! :)
Just a suggestion for someone else making this, instead of cutting the small ring in half and attempting to glue it into the pipe, grab a coupling that is meant to go over the pipe and cut that into several pieces instead.
With PVC plumbing, dryfit first Jay! Also, when you do put a black line (when it's all fit) with a sharpie, so when you get the glue on there you know EXACTLY where it needs to end up. :)
This is a great idea! If you're making things out of PVC, I highly recommend investing in a PVC cutter. They cost less than $20 at big box hardware stores. It's so much easier than using a band saw and doesn't produce a bunch of plastic shavings. For projects that don't need to be water tight I sometimes drill a pilot hole through the pipe and coupling and then drive a screw in to hold it together. Then I can remove the screw and re-use the parts later on to make something else.
Great idea!! I'm so inspired! I do have a suggestion... I've done quite a bit of PVC building and I too discovered PVC cement can be problematic, so now I fit the pieces together with a rubber mallet to be sure they're tight & then screw a self-tapping screw through each joint. It will be sturdy, but you can take it apart easily if needed & even re-use the pieces. Keep up the good work!
Love this project, simple, cheap and beautifully executed. If I do this I might add a way to trigger a cackle and spittoon spit sound for comedic effect as if the skeleton were spitting into the tube.
I just recently found your channel and am in the holiday spirit! Even though I may not get many trick or treaters this year due to the pandemic, I plan to still do my best at giving the neighborhood kids some cool decorations to look at and enjoy. Thank you for some more inspiration and tips!
Thank you so much for this idea. I built a modified version (no stand), and kids loved it..........and one little one cried. But most kids thought it was so cool.
Used your plans and made our own Loot Chute. Wish I could add pictures. It was a huge hit! The first little boy was around 2 and was in a stroller. His Mom walked up with his bag and caught the candy. He got up out of the stroller and walked right up to the skull and looked up inside it without touching anything. Then he put his hand out under the skull for a piece of candy. Of course we sent it down and he loved it. Biggest smile! Showed his Mom and his Grandmother and was so absolutely pleased with himself. My 11 and 12 year old had a blast handing out candy (they couldnt trick or treat because I am at high risk). Thank you so much for these plans!!! I did lengthen the pipe to 8ft, no biggie. I had neighbors telling me I should sell them, but I sent each one of them here. Great job!!!
Okay, this just proves to me how much hive mind is in humanity, because I had a similar idea, but it was gonna be a step on dispenser with a belt system. This is MUCH simpler, and I suspect, cheaper. I'm excited to decorate it, because I have a Nightmare Before Christmas theme, and I'm imagining a B+W spiral chute with lots of cuteness. Thank you for sharing!
@@WickedMakers I will post pics when I'm done. A friend suggested a sand worm, but I get a lot of under 5 year olds here and don't want to spook them :) I think it would be super cool though.
What a great idea! If you cannot find 3" PVC at your local hardware/big box stores, you can use 3" Corrugated Perforated Pipe too. Costs half the price and would look great if you had a strip of flat LED lights going down in a purple or orange color.
Looks amazing. I've been trying to think of ideas on how to pass out candy for the kids. Looking forward to decorating and hope the kids love it. You're idea of a witch for it is awesome. It could be a broom for her to ride on.
My girlfriend and I built one of these. Sadly we only had about 40 kids this year (usually we have about 100) but it worked like a charm and the kids loved it. It lasted the whole week until the day after Halloween when the high winds decide it was time to be done. You guys inspired us to build ours so I wanted to say thanks.
Or dry fit the frame and then secure with small screws, or rivets run into pre-drilled holes. Also, I would use some of the wrapping material to secure the slide tube to the bases, or extra long zip ties. Add prop fencing to keep the kids away from the loading end to maintain the six feet distancing. Otherwise, this is a really great idea to help keep the fun of trick or treating going for the little ones. Happy Hallowe'en!
Thanks for sharing! I’m going to try this but with using cardboard instead of the pipe and use safety pins to hold it down on my wooden handrail that slopes down..
Can you please put up measurements? We have all the supplies and trying to assemble blindly and dont want to random cut the pvc and mess up. Thank you!!!
This looks awesome! I was already thinking of ways to allow kids to trick or treat safely at our house and this will work perfect! Just recently finished a couple other Halloween projects so this will be my next one. Thanks!
This would work perfectly at my house. My front door is on a porch, three steps up from the ground and i have a picket fence/gate to keep the kids back.
Great idea, but your first power tool cut was with a band saw. My son and I are going to build this and some tombstones this weekend. Thanks for the idea!
I’m totally doing this! Thank you so much for providing your plans. How did you prepare your cheesecloth? I love the different color variations of it. I’ve seen where you can use black tea but you don’t get those variations with black the.
This was such a great idea and video. I've just finished remodeling my work shop and I know what I will be making first. Awesome job again , keep the ideas flowing.
I bought a giant skeleton hand at dollar tree, 'glued' it to a 6 foot pvc pole. Glued a cup to the hand. I'll put the candy in the cup and swing it out to the kids. I'm hoping by Halloween I can cut it down to 3 feet or scrap the whole thing. Happy Halloween 🎃
Do you have any ideas on how to keep the candy from getting stuck? The angle i have it at is pretty high right now but the candy keeps getting stuck as I test it out. Ive had to push a smaller pvc pipe tied to a fish line through just to make it get to the end and I retract the pipe back through. My fear is that if i do that to alleviate the problem it might break free from the fish line and hit a kid at the open end.
I'm making this out of mailing tubes and zip tying it to my railing! so much easier than pvc pipe! I got a 4 ft tube and a 2 ft tube and will be duct taping them together and painting it and decorating it with lights.
This will be a great addition to my yearly "Haunt". I have been involved with creating Haunted Mazes for many many years, and it never gets old coming up with new spooky ("crafty") ideas. Can never be too safe right? Love this idea, great job!
You guys rock. Hubby and I are thinking of making a zip line to pass out candy to the kids. If we do I'll post pics.... But seeing your solution .... We might just try to make this.
You guys are incredible! I love watching all your videos. Glad you leave in the mistakes to warn us from the same. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
I’m so Syked, and have already been getting my accessories for my circus theme this year. Bought clowns at Spirit Halloween last year on sale. I have the 6 foot winter dragon that is going on top of the house with fog machine. Light up balloons. Have all kinds of things to put out. We are building a ticket booth but it is going to be the candy booth . I have tickets with clowns on them I got. Someone will give each child a ticket and they give it to the person dressed up as a clown in the ticket/candy booth!! and they clown will give them a bag of charms fluffy stuff cotton candy! My neighbors are excited to see what I’m doing this year! I can’t wait!,
The only thing is that you still have to touch the candy in order to put it down the tube. The way I see it most people won’t wat to sanitize every single piece of candy, let alone buy a huge bag for the two trick or treaters that actually show up
What she is applying first is the purple primer, and it's fine to let that dry. When he was applying the actual glue he seemed to be doing it appropriately and joining the pieces quickly. It *does* set very fast though so you need to make sure things are aligned. I recommend a combination of the two... with all those small pieces in the base it's more likely to fall apart with no glue at all. Glue some parts for stability (a few at a time) but dry fit others so you can break it down for storage easily.
What a cool idea, so cool I had to make one. We live in country, no tricker or treaters. But the airport I hang at had scairport, same as trunk or treat. So last Saturday pulled the airplane out and set up. The tube was a hit. Thanks for the great idea.
I think i’ll stick to standing by my door wearing a Plague Doctor Costume giving kids the sweet bucket from the cane. I ain’t gonna ruin Halloween for the little kids.
Well it's a fail for social distancing at 9:34 and since you touched the candy with your hand to put it in the slide and the kids will also touch them eventually... it's call cross contamination... Stay home stay safe
Surface contamination and airborne particles are two very different contamination vectors. They're saying surface contamination is less of a concern now, and 6' is still the recommended minimum distance for airborne particles (though 10' might be cool too). So... not so bad.
What about asymptotic homes who pass candy out this way and pass covid out along with their candy? Imagine how destructive one person with covid could be to a whole neighborhood?
Phil Savage ur totally right. It does not live on surfaces and can’t be transmitted from an infected person’s respiratory droplets landing on a surface (such as candy) and then a child touching their mouth! 🙄 ur oozing intelligence. No point in washing or sanitizing ur hands then right?
Simple solution use a gloved hand when dropping candy through candy chutes. And if one wants to be super careful wear a mask too (it is Halloween after all).
The Plague Doctor's Haunt Ur right, Halloween is more important than the health and safety of our citizens. Man I can’t imagine asking ppl not to dress their kids up and send them door to door asking ppl for free candy 🤷🏼♀️ I have 4 school age kids btw & Halloween is our fave holiday...so yeah it bums me too but it’s better to be bummed than DEAD!
It could get pretty heavy with 2 x 4. I used 1 x 2 for the base, but quite frankly my version is probably just as involved to build as the PVC version. Just depends what one is used to work with. I like both versions. ruclips.net/video/RPpOo3ojNl4/видео.html
@@WickedMakers Wood base versions may allow for all kinds of different bases but an another advantage an all PVC design has is not having to be concerned with it getting wet and it is easy to clean.

Make a slime monster
I was just going to use a potato cannon, but I guess this works, too.
We like your idea. 🤣🤣🤣
Right? Haha. My son and I were joking about a potato cannon or a nice trebuchet.
Yeah! Get some, get some! Yeah!

Not sure if anyones said this yet - but it's actually not glue, but a solvent that fuses the two pieces together. Hence the speed!
Ahh interesting. Thanks!
@@WickedMakers And the only reason to use it is if you are going to run water under pressure through the pipes.

You should put some kind of lighting under the skeleton or a couple Jack'o'lanterns around it

If you don’t want the purple on pipes, just use acetone for primer, and use medium pvc glue which has a good 30 seconds before pipe can’t be moved.

Which part? 😀

I built one but used 3” abs and not 3” pvc. Candy will not slide at that angle. I am assuming the PVC is smoother on the inside.
It’s incredibly slick, yeah. No sliding issues.

I'm thinking that the tube could produce a wicked, echo laugh and scare the crap outta the kiddos!
Yes!!!!! 👊🏼😄
You guys rock. Hubby and I are thinking of making a zip line to pass out candy to the kids. If we do I'll post pics.... But seeing your solution .... We might just try to make this.
Nice!!!! 😄😄😄
Very clever 😂
Thanks! 👊🏼😄
You guys are incredible! I love watching all your videos. Glad you leave in the mistakes to warn us from the same. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
We all make mistakes!! Might as well learn from them. 😄😄😄
I’m so Syked, and have already been getting my accessories for my circus theme this year.
Bought clowns at Spirit Halloween last year on sale. I have the 6 foot winter dragon that is going on top
of the house with fog machine. Light up balloons. Have all kinds of things to put out. We are building a ticket booth but it is going to be the candy booth . I have tickets with clowns on them I got. Someone will give each child a ticket and they give it to the person dressed up as a clown in the ticket/candy booth!!
and they clown will give them a bag of charms fluffy stuff cotton candy! My neighbors are excited to see what I’m doing this year! I can’t wait!,
Awesome!!!!!!
That sounds so amazing!! I wish I had you guys in my neighborhood 😂 So much creativity!!
This is so cool! I might make it for trick or treating!
Yall should've made the skeleton wear a mask because it will look like hes in quarantine in halloween
Hahah, yes!
Thanks to you guys for keeping up the Halloween spirit. HALLOWEEN ISN"T CANCELLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
The only thing is that you still have to touch the candy in order to put it down the tube. The way I see it most people won’t wat to sanitize every single piece of candy, let alone buy a huge bag for the two trick or treaters that actually show up
Or just wear gloves? 🙃
Or tongs? Come on, if we're smart enough, and aware enough, to come up with a delivery system, I think we can figure out a way not to touch the candy!
Yessss! I'm doing this! Kids are on board! I decided that if the candy gets stuck in the middle to have a leaf blower on hand, lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
3:19 No wonder it failed! It may take a while to completely cure, but you need to connect the pieces *immediately* after applying!
Haha, well NOW you tell us. 🤣
What she is applying first is the purple primer, and it's fine to let that dry. When he was applying the actual glue he seemed to be doing it appropriately and joining the pieces quickly. It *does* set very fast though so you need to make sure things are aligned. I recommend a combination of the two... with all those small pieces in the base it's more likely to fall apart with no glue at all. Glue some parts for stability (a few at a time) but dry fit others so you can break it down for storage easily.
Also there is "fast set" pvc glue... make sure you're not using that.
@@GojiBaba Primer? I've always just sanded the contact points and glued.
What a cool idea, so cool I had to make one. We live in country, no tricker or treaters. But the airport I hang at had scairport, same as trunk or treat. So last Saturday pulled the airplane out and set up. The tube was a hit. Thanks for the great idea.
I think i’ll stick to standing by my door wearing a Plague Doctor Costume giving kids the sweet bucket from the cane.
I ain’t gonna ruin Halloween for the little kids.
Plague doctor costumes are the best!!! 😄
Phil Savage Children have a smaller chance of getting it; and a virus doesn’t last for 10 months. Science facts matter.😏
people where doing canons and was so cool
Well it's a fail for social distancing at 9:34 and since you touched the candy with your hand to put it in the slide and the kids will also touch them eventually... it's call cross contamination... Stay home stay safe
Thanks for watching but you might have missed the end. 😄
Surface contamination and airborne particles are two very different contamination vectors. They're saying surface contamination is less of a concern now, and 6' is still the recommended minimum distance for airborne particles (though 10' might be cool too). So... not so bad.
Lmao this country has become so epically spineless
You guys should do a video on polyester cotton beef netting webs on how to do it. Look up polyester cotton webs
Whoa, ok!
What about asymptotic homes who pass candy out this way and pass covid out along with their candy?
Imagine how destructive one person with covid could be to a whole neighborhood?
Phil Savage ur totally right. It does not live on surfaces and can’t be transmitted from an infected person’s respiratory droplets landing on a surface (such as candy) and then a child touching their mouth! 🙄 ur oozing intelligence. No point in washing or sanitizing ur hands then right?
Simple solution use a gloved hand when dropping candy through candy chutes. And if one wants to be super careful wear a mask too (it is Halloween after all).
Appreciate you wanting to keep people safe! We like to think people are smart enough to wear gloves and disinfect.
Wicked Makers We like to ‘think’ they are but it’s pretty proven they’re not 🤷🏼♀️
The Plague Doctor's Haunt Ur right, Halloween is more important than the health and safety of our citizens. Man I can’t imagine asking ppl not to dress their kids up and send them door to door asking ppl for free candy 🤷🏼♀️ I have 4 school age kids btw & Halloween is our fave holiday...so yeah it bums me too but it’s better to be bummed than DEAD!
I pitched this idea to the Elementary School my daughter goes to in Austin, and they shot this idea down instantly! I love that you guys are doing it!
Oh man!! Too bad they didn’t want to do it.
Ironic how the social distancing is supposed to keep everyone safe yet those kids crowded in together during the test.
That’s why we mentioned that at the end. 😄
You two are an awesome couple getting my supplies together for several of your projects keep up the great videos
wait if mask really work... shouldnt halloween be the safest holiday??
Sure! 😄
PVC primer and glue is easy to work with you can make sure things is correct when working with PVC pipe and glue
Candy in a chute what a great idea!
😄😄😄
It looks great!! You probably could’ve saved more time by using a few 2x4’s and a nail gun for the supports, but it was a great idea.
It could get pretty heavy with 2 x 4. I used 1 x 2 for the base, but quite frankly my version is probably just as involved to build as the PVC version. Just depends what one is used to work with. I like both versions. ruclips.net/video/RPpOo3ojNl4/видео.html
PVC was specifically built for folks without tools. If you’ve got power tools, wood is definitely a great option.
@@WickedMakers Wood base versions may allow for all kinds of different bases but an another advantage an all PVC design has is not having to be concerned with it getting wet and it is easy to clean.
Great project. I would make a kid friendly one for the smaller kids that isn't so scary looking.
Good idea!!
This is perfect! My community has been really worried about Halloween this year and this would help a lot!
Awesome!!!
A standard hand saw that you normally cut wood with will cut pvc fast.
Yes!!
At first I thought this was a product you could buy, but then I realized it was something you could make! That’s a great idea!
Thanks! 😄
