I'm doing a Halloween haunted house for my church and i had this brain-child when i decided i wanted to throw some Steam into the mad scientist lab area. This is extremely simple and you should have all of the items around your house it took me about 3 minutes for each sawblade. Later on i will probably attach an airsoft gun motor to them and spin it, not the safest idea but what the heck. HAVE A GREAT HALLOWEEN!
Materials:
Sharpie (doesn't matter what color you will just use the writing as a guide)
Garden shears (i think they work the best but if you have a Dremel tool, have at it my friend)
Pocket knife or something with a blade that you wont get tired of using after a while (i used good old american Winchester)
CD any type (i just realized that all my Instructables have something to do with CD's)
Metallic spray paint

Signing UpStep 1Scrape the finish off of the CD
This is an essential step that will remove the finish from the CD. The one i used made lots of sparkly glitter and confetti on the edge of my knife and everywhere i scraped it. It looked like i had just annihilated Edward Cullen. And for this purpose its a good idea to do this step over the edge of a large plastic bag. This is the longest step of the process.

Take a CD player and remove the motor with the part that attaches the CD to the motor in tact.
Wire it to a simple button press and a battery supply so that it can rotate whenever pressed.
Attach to a pvc tube / stick / cardboard thing, with the motor at one end, attach the cd saw, and put the button press at the end.
The cd motor shouldn't spin to rapidly as to cut people or cause a danger (too much). You could add some resistance to cut the flow a bit to make it slower.
(Maybe add some fake blood to the points?)
