Scary Larry here. For 16 years I was the general manager of the largest (30 acres) haunted attraction in Rhode Island called "Trails To Terror." For these type skeletons we would usually just drill some holes & zip-tie the joints together. For the heavy duty epoxy skeletons (like in medical schools), I'd drill them & screw them together with 4" sheet rock or deck screws. This worked very well with "corpsified" skeletons as you didn't want them to be reposed. That would possible damage the corpsifiaction. Of course on the plastic ones, you have to get the arm of leg to stay in a pose. Fishing line, bendable wire or simply screwing the appendage to something in the scene works for that.
This made me laugh out loud or giggled most of the way thru- did an excellent job with that skeleton - just those few surgical adjustments clearly helped a great deal , loved the sound effects
Lol I’m an X-ray tech and I loved the hospital trip. I get really annoyed when store bought skeletons don’t even articulate correctly. It’s bad enough that the spine and ribs are totally wrong but I like how you fixed those issues. My friend is a nurse and for some odd reason she had a full size anatomically correct articulated skeleton that she graciously gave me. It’s super heavy… generally used in classrooms and such but I have made some cool setups with the guy. I just can’t move him around a lot. Remember the old GI Joe action figures? They used rubber bands in the shoulder and hip joints.
Glad you enjoyed. I’ve noticed this year a few newer skeletons that have ball joints for the shoulders and hips. It’s better, but still limited. Still perfectly straight, immovable spines though.
Springs are a clever idea. I wonder if I’d have a difficult time keeping it in a pose. Maybe if the spring wasn’t to strong. I’ll give it a try sometime.
@@ImNotBoredImCreative depending on pose climbing a house tree ladder would have no problem.if you wanted a free standing poses you could use a 10lb fishing line as it would be hard to see in the dark or day time 👍🏻
this is wonderful and very helpful. There must be a way to make the limbs stay in place. Like, arms up for example or knees bend etc I want to use one skeleton as the body to a cheap witch prop . One of those Fraser Hill Farm witches that are nothing but a head on a pole. By using a skeleton underneath the fabric it allows the witch prop to have movement and be pose, sitting down etc I will use this video to guide me but, do you have Any suggestion how to put it together?
It depends on what you need it to do. If the joints never need to move, you can pose the body how you want and glue the joints using 2part epoxy (or a lot of hot glue). I’ve also seen people use screws to fix the joints in place. You can tighten them to hold it in place and loosen it when you want change the pose.

So many great tips! Thank you!
I liked the operating room sounds in the background during surgery....so cute 😍and original. Thanks for sharing. 💜💜

You laughed because the arm bone was humerous.
I had back surgeries twice and as I'm watching I'm thinking glad Doc didn't operate on me like that. Sort of gave me the Willeys. lol Love your decor
Love your video the x-rays, surgery sounds and your dialog are great. Plus thanks for the instruction.
This guy really brings life to these videos 😂😂😂
I love the background hospital sounds!
Okay this is actually kind of a cute video! Lol saving this for later
Love the ventilator and heart monitor sound effects, excellent
I love this! Funny and fun!

Why not take the smallest ball off round arm one then use garden gate springs.this way you get movement in any way

I LOVE your goofiness.
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks so much!
How would I upgrade a heavier, more expensive skeleton you would find in a doctor’s office?
You and your video are too cute and clever. I learned something new, thanks!
Cool 😎 videos and cool skeletons
Love the oxygen machine in the background.
Craig Fergusons former robot skeleton sidekick Geoff Peterson, built by the late Grant Imahara comes to mind.
Mad Scientist Doctor at work! Love it!
For all of that work, u probably could have used a bungee cord

Ok, wait, lol! What do you do for a living? I have to know. Paramedic here, and I’m laughing so hard.
Glad you enjoyed it! I make animated movies for a living (but my family is full of medically associated individuals)
Love the effects!
Cool project. Gonna have a Halloween themed video next week. Perfect time to make some really goul stuff. Haha
This is hilarious. XD

Awesome!!!!!!!!!
so cool !
is there a product name on the skeleton so we can find one like it
I think it looks less realistic
with the arm hanging so far away from the body and the metal
Maybe paint that part white
Do think springs would work also?
hell all i did on mine was take his elbow joint off and turn it around so his hand could be the other way
where did you get the skeleton? dollar general? dollar tree? family dollar?
I got it at the “99 cent Only store”
@@ImNotBoredImCreative oh ok thank you
@@ImNotBoredImCreative
What town/country do you live?
I live in Indiana and we don’t have that store.
