    From my video description: “These are two different original ideas I share of ways to make a fogging cauldron for your Halloween Yard Haunt display. One is from my previous video of DIY version of the Vortex Fusion product. It was my idea to use a 48qt Igloo Ice Cube Cooler in 2006. It's a...

    I want to build a pcv fence but I have no space to store anything like that. The last few years I've gone out in the woods for my fence. I find mossy, freaky looking trees and branches to build my fence with. It's already aged and fits in with all the weeds and bushes I add. Then after...

    Excitement is building for this DIY dog Halloween Costume. Turn your pooch into a Lego brick – and it all starts with an empty shoebox. Lego my Dogo! Lego was a favorite toy of mine back in the day. There was no limit as to what you could build. It kept me out of trouble for hours… but because I...

    Hello all with just a couple weeks to go I spent the past weekend building 12 tombstones. I used 2 inch foam. I cut them and shaped them with a wood rasp, used a heat gun on them and etched them with a soldering iron. I cut 1/4 plywood and glued the base to them, glued the tombstones together...
  6. Halloween Props
    As I've been setting up and taking pictures this year there has been one thing that keeps jumping out at me as a huge eyesore and atmosphere kill to our display.

  9. Halloween Props
    While roaming around my local Menards looking for materials to complete my projects, one of the things I was looking at was the different foam insulation panels for my pillars.

    MONSTER WASP! This year’s primary project. Roughly 7-8 ft long. The goal is to make it as detailed and as accurate as possible. OH and it must conform to the “Attic Hatch Prime Directive”: It needs to fit through my 24” x 48” garage hatch. Concept image: PART 1 - BODY BUILDING 2” POLYFOAM...

    I want to cut some old fence wood to use for a Halloween coffin. Right now the wood looks weathered and kind of grey, but I know wherever I make cuts the wood will be brown and look newer. Does anyone know how to make these cut areas look old like the rest of the surface? Thanks.
  12. Halloween Props
    After some research, I'd like to attempt to make some cut outs for my yard. I came across several approaches and ended up with a few lingering questions. I am hoping to do at least a couple of 4ft tall ghosts, and maybe even up to one 8ft. 1. How thick should the plywood be? I've seen...

    Instead of doing an inflatable, I am considering doing a plywood version of this: In my head, I am wanting Slime to "glow". Does anyone here have a suggested glow in the dark paint (or something similar) to use? It would be in direct sunlight during the day. I would be willing to uplight...

    Adding a few new grave markers to our cemetery this year. Got three sheets of foam in varying thicknesses. Foam was cut, epitaphs were printed and routed out using a dremel. I'm in the process of making the base boxes for two of the smaller stones. The largest will be about 5 ft tall when done...
