Flying Crank Candleabra
Here is a short video of my floating candleabra. Sorry for the poor video from my cell phone but it is the best I can do.

Very Cool! So do you tie all 3 strings to the candelabra and that gives it the side to side movement?

The candelabra came with LED "flames". It has three strings, but only two provide the movement. They each attach on the outside edges of the candles near the base and go through small pulleys mounted at the upper corners of the window frame. The strings (20# test Spiderwire fishing line) attached to a crank setting on the floor under the window that provides all the movement, both horizontal and vertical. The third string goes straight up from the middle of the candleabra and is attached to a counter weight to ease the load on the crank.

Shameless bump back to the top, now that the minimum 24 hour waiting period is over.
I think it turned out pretty cool, despite the crappy video. Come on folks, show me some love!

Nice job. Have you built a crank system before? I like that a little better than the ghost. I think because it reminds me of Disney’s Haunted Mansion. I really need to build one of those. Again, awesome job, very creepy.
