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 :)

Great problem solving and wonderful idea to make a new best friend!
Thanks! He’s been the best addition to the shop. A great listener; always down for a dance party, and he doesn’t rearrange the tools on us. What more can we ask for?
Hahaa!!...strangely enough, watching this vid was rather satisfying, even though I sort of skipped through. Naturally funny, I must say. By the way, I didn't search for this, but it rolled over and I was about to skip it but I said let me just see how this is going to pan out. Oddly, I didn't regret it one bit. 😃😂🙃
Y'all are so much fun!!!
So much fun guys! And great problem solving on this one!
Thanks! There were a few moments where we weren’t sure it was going to work, at least for a guy that was as large as we wanted.
3D printing is the best for prototyping, very cool video!
Thanks! We love how fast the digital tools make the prototyping process. It makes us more willing to tackle ridiculous ideas, Bc the stakes are relatively low if we fail.
Another awesome project!!
Thanks for always watching! We appreciate it 👊
That wood cutting machine is next level. Never seen that before but I want one (if only I had the space...and $$$)!
Nice video. Cool build. Those giant ones must have huge fans. Mahalo for sharing! : ) 🐒
We did some research when we were designing the valves and the big ones for stadiums have about 3 times the cfm we were working with on the blower. With that info we were feeling pretty happy with the size we were able to achieve with just a leaf blower. Getting the airflow even was really the key over anything.
I love it
LOL this is the best use of a leaf blower ever. Great job you guys!
It’s January in Massachusetts. We ran out of leaves to blow with it.
I've herad legends of leafblower hovercrafts as well
Cool so cool!!!
Thanks!
No problem 😅
Now I have a reason to get out the 1970's sewing machine Thank you!
Do it!!! Speaking from experience, you won’t regret it 👌🏻
I love that
Easily my favorite project to date! Well done guys!
Thanks Eric. We are thinking he might just perpetually live in the corner of the shop from now on. It just feels empty without him now.
Cool
Adapt! Overcome! Dance! I enjoyed seeing how you worked through all your obstacles! Do you plan on making seasonal air dancers.....?
Exactly. This is an extreme sport; and nothing less. We weren’t planning on it but I think I can see your vision. Autumn: headless horseman winter: this guy, but with ear muffs spring: a big flower summer: this guy, but with shades on. How did we do?
@@MakersWorkshopLLC you guys did great! Still can’t tell which one is the air dancer in the dance off!
That’s the nicest thing we’ve ever heard about our dancing.
Awesome! Do you have a link to the 3d-printable diffuser?

Rip-stop nylon is even lighter, and isn't as porous. Much better for inflatables.
I see you did switch to rip-stop halfway through the video.
Glad I could be of help (2 years too late) lol!
Look ourway ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊👋👋👋👍👍✌️✌️
I found this video while brainstorming an idea for dressing up a high-power cordless backpack leaf blower as a Ghostbusters-style proton pack, with an air dancer as the beam. I think the hardest part may be having a lighting effect that works from the inside. And, of course, rolling up the air dancer after blasting a ghost with it. I'd be really interested in your take on this sort of idea since you've already put together something very similar.
Hm. This sounds like a really fun project. I bet you could get lights hidden in the diffuser facing the right direction pretty easily. As long as it’s nice and secure with wires long enough to put the rest of the electrical to the side.

Ran across this video as an ad watching a William Osman video. Reminds me of Evan and Katelyn in their earlier days. I see the same potential in you guys! Instantly loved Brooke’s humor and Michael’s hardened knowledge. Keep at it guys! You got a sub from me!
Ah thanks for such a kind comment. And welcome! We appreciate having you :) new videos every Tuesday 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
@@MakersWorkshopLLC 🔴 What Is Islam?
🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚
🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

Chiming in to say that all of the files are now available on MakersWorkshop.com 👍🏻
