Thread: finished my hangman

Tweet

finished my hangman that i will be using in my grave yard. I am going to have a skeleton hanging from it and will be attaching a ghost that will fly from the skeleton down to a grave.

I used some left over mortar on the boards to give it more of an old look

Looks great....do you have any more pics of the base? I am in the process of building a Hangman's Gallows myself and I am looking to see how others have attached the upright beam to the base....

I placed a few cut boards inbetween the two boards for the bottom. I heavily glued them, screwed them togther, and also nailed them.

I then traced out the outline and pre drilled a few holes. I then hglued the base, screwed in large screws, and hammared in some large nails.

I then took two fence boards and cut them to use them as support aswell.

hope this helps. I will take pics of it when it is light out for you.

looks great so far. sounds like a great idea!
btw- pretty dog.

bl00d,

Thanks for the pic.... That gives me an idea on how to mount the main upright for my prop. I built a small raised platform that is about two feet high. I am going to add a set of angled braces to the upright and screw it to the base...

Here is a pic of the upright and cross beam:



And here is a pic of the base:
