Brick paneling from Lowes... (I had a ton of $10 off project cards )

First I cut it down to 4' x 32", then I ripped them into 1' sections, so I ended up with twelve 32" x 12" pieces of panel...or enough for three pillars.

I then had four 39" pieces of 2x4 that I screwed the paneling to...being careful to start 3 1/2" from the end. I screwed the paneling on first to make sure there wasn't gaps, instead of building the frames first.

Then I put a border of 2x4s around the bottom.

For the top, I made the border, but didn't screw it to the frame work. Instead I screwed a piece of plywood to the top of the border so that the top can just rest on the frame work. Since I glued the Gargoyles to the top, I could just take the top off if I was worried about the gargoyles safety.

wow, i didn't see anything that wasn't amazing. this is a thread as good as the cemetary one. okay. here is a prop i love, but i can't take credit for making it.

I agree, make the neighbors talk, maybe getcha in the newspaper or tv.

I was going for a skinned a live look more than an aged bucky.
