After taking 2019 off due to travel and a kitchen renovation, I’ve been working on coming back bigger and better this year despite 2020.
Really happy with my two major builds.
cemetery gates/columns and a mausoleum. Sharing them here will I think they will be appreciated. ;-)

Detail of the gates? I like the lions head (?) in the center.

Are they bed posts?

The gates are two twin headboards I found on FB Marketplace. Painted them black. Zip-tied a piece of plywood in the middle of each and attached a novelty Halloween knockers (eyes light up and they talk - I got them on clearance somewhere - here they are on amazon).
Also added plastic garden fencing to fill up the open space on the bottom. made the lock out of foamboard and twisted pipe cleaners wrapped with black duct tape.

Columns are styrofoam coolers - bases are cheap lumber - tops are two drawers left over from my kitchen renovation. There is a PVC tube up the center for the electrical and so that they can sit over pieces of rebar. Found the globes at a yard sale, and the iron around them are hanging planters.
