I started working on this project a year ago. I'm really excited to see the trick-or-treaters use it!

I made a blog post on how it works https://nathanorick.com/how-i-built-my-halloween-candy-machine/

Really interesting. I read through the entire process. Good idea with the PVC pipes and blade design. I get about 350-400+ kids and I don't think I could build anything to keep up with that pace.

Thanks for reading! I'm worried about our volume as well. Last year, our neighborhood had nearly 1000 kids, so we have a bucket of loose candy to help keep the line down.

Oh wow. 1000! I thought my numbers were crazy. Oh god. They're already starting to trickle in this very moment. Wish me luck.

Over engineered AF, but I think it's cool. Trick or treating can mean a longer than usual amount of time away from a screen for many kids, so this may come as a welcome relief.
