MOTOR CRANK

The final step is to add about one foot of ¾” PVC pipe to the inside of the left front and right rear leg of the deer. Secure the PVC to each leg using some sturdy wire. The purpose of adding the pipe is to give stability to the deer when the motor is turned on. Hammer two lengths of rebar in to the ground. Then slide each PVC leg of the deer over the rebar to keep it from tipping over during movement (wooden stakes can be used instead of rebar).

I also made a Feeding Doe style rockin’ reindeer where the head moves up and down versus side to side.
