Off Topic: The Sweeney Todd Chair

I am sure many of you have already seen this chair on Kate's blog but I wanted to share it here too! It took me a little bit to get it working. And whats a Sweeney Todd chair without the ability to dump people out??

Here it is in the upright position. All you have to do to get it moving is take the 'pedal key' out.

Here you can see it going down slowly (with my help) otherwise it flips backwards rather fast.
And here you can see Murph helping me out with the photos. He didn't have a problem helping since the actual 12th scale Mr. Todd was across an ocean with Kate. So he had no worries :)

Hopefully I will figure out how to upload a video of it working soon. I just didn't have time last night. Oh well.


Just want to say thanks again to Kate for this wonderful swap!! I had sooooo much fun!



Hugs!!! -ara

    It is Incredible, I still cant get over how brilliant a design it is!! Murph looks like hes actually enjoying it,.....unlike Mrs Lovett, shes still not speaking to Sweeney . But shes getting him back by making finger pies today mwa ha ha ( evil laugh!!!!) thankyou again Ara. Though how you will top this I dont know!!! Kate xx

    Good for Mrs Lovett! She should give that pie a central place on a shelf to remind Mr. Todd of the consequences!! Kate, I don't think I'll be out to top it for a while now - lol!!! -ara
