- If you've watched my show at all, you know how much I love Halloween. So on this week's show, I thought it would be fun to start a short series on making some halloween decorations. We start it all off this week, with a 6' tall grim reaper decoration for your yard. I hope you enjoy the show.
If you haven't already, please don't forget to like and subscribe and click the bell so that you don't miss the notifications of future episodes of the show.
As always, I want to thank you so much for stopping by the channel and taking the time to tune in to the show. It is very much appreciated.
My partner just showed me this on his computer, and I had to go on mine immediately so I could give it a thumbs up & save it to my "static props" playlist. The way you planned out how to make it easy to store is brilliant!
I'm glad that you liked the video Susan. I posted a video at the end of last year showing a little of our Halloween display. If you are interested, you can find it here. ruclips.net/video/5bRqLpWts2E/видео.html
It might give you some ideas for your own display. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Great looking decoration. I love how you designed it with storage in mind.
When you make as many things and large decorations as I do Jim, you HAVE to have storage in mind when creating something new. It's the first question my wife asks when I run a show idea past her....."and where are you going to put THIS one?" LOL. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave your comment. It's very much appreciated.
Well I think you gave me my next project for me and my wife, she LOVES Halloween, and she LOVES houses that are all decked out. Not sure how our new neighborhood is at Halloween, but we are going to find out lol Amazing project, thank you for sharing
Glad that you liked it Randy. Good luck to you and your wife on your Reaper project. I hope she enjoys it. Thanks for tuning in to the show. (I'd love to see a picture of your finished project)
Spooky. I love the effort and holiday spirit. It’s also very classic in the best way.
Glad that you liked it. Definitely had a lot of fun making this one. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Great job! The Reaper is awesome. Your enthusiasm is great too. Keep up the great work.
Who wouldn't be enthusiastic about Halloween? LOL. It's the best season of the year. Thanks for tuning Jeff and for taking the time to leave the kind words.
AWESOME!
Glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in.
Your grim reaper is amazing.I love it.
I'm glad that you like it. I hope you will give it a try for yourself. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Hi Kenny, great project. I like how you got your measurements from mrs reaper. Hope you didn’t put a screw through her head for testing purposes for the skull 🤣🤣🤣
LOL. She was fine with being my measurement model but I think she would draw a line at getting screws drilled into her skull. LOL. Thanks for tuning in to the show Philip.
All those tools and you sew too !!! Amazing !! ☠️
Sure, why not? Sewing is a whole lot of fun. I made a replica of a Conestoga wagon years ago and I had to sew the canvas for the covered section of the wagon. I even sewed burlap to make the grain and feed bags. I loved it and my wife was jealous of how I could sew a perfectly straight hem. I think that the practice on the scroll saw made me better at the sewing machine. I don't do it often, but I do enjoy it when I sew. Thanks for tuning in Rose and for taking the time to leave your comment. I truly appreciate it.
That was another great project and being able to disassemble it for storage makes it even better. Hahahaha I do hope Mr. Reaper stays on your side of the St. Lawrence River. I maybe old, but I'm not ready to meet him yet lol. Fun to watch as always! Take care!
I hope we all have a long time to go before Mr Reaper visits us Michael. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the project.
Nice work. One thing I've done to reduce the weight of my projects last like this is I fill the bottom half of my bucket with dirt, sand or concrete, set my post and then fill the top half with expanding foam. It keeps the post steady, provides the weight to hold the proo in place and saves my back from having to transport 50 lbs of concrete
Great idea Tim. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your suggestion. It's a great one.
Awesome
Glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in.
This is so cool, I could see it being in the yard leading up to Halloween and then Halloween night replacing it with a person, hahaha. The kids would have seen it for a few days and you could surprise them so easy, lol so much fun. Another awesom build, Thanks for sharing.
That is an absolutely spectacular idea Brian. I love it. I'm glad that you liked the show. I hope you try to make this for yourself one day. Thanks for tuning in.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Although I really appriciate Halloween decorations we focuss more on Christmas. We live on a corner lot on the river so we get to decorate the front side and back yards and yes a LED video tree on the end of the dock lol. It is so much fun to do and to listen to the young kids when they go by is priceless, which I am sure you get as well on your yard at Halloween.
@@brianmcgrath2565 So put a Santa hat on the Grim Reaper. LOL. Instant Christmas decoration.
Kenny, what a great statue. It looks awesome. All you need is a way to make it smell…lol. It will go great with the tombstones you made a few years back. This was a great design.
Glad that you liked it Paul. Definitely a lot of fun. I considered making it "smell" but didn't think a nose would look right on a skeleton face. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. (I think that was a Dad joke). Thanks for tuning in sir. I truly appreciate it.
i love it Kenny, you always do such good work. keep em coming...
Glad that you liked it Robbi. Definitely a fun project. Thanks for tuning in to the show
This looks great... a fun idea... good job... Hope you post pics of your Halloween Decorations...
Every year the display gets larger Joel. I think I'm going to need a second house to store all of the decorations for my current house. LOL. Maybe we will see some pictures on the channel's Facebook page this year. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Clever! Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Cheers Kenny. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀
Glad that you enjoyed it Patrick. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave the kind words. I truly appreciate it.
Magnificent Grim Reaper Kenny. As usual, watching your videos is always fun. Your pleasure is contagious and it feels good. Keep up your good work.
Glad that you liked the show. It definitely was a lot of fun to make. Thanks for tuning in to the show. It's very much appreciated.
@@acutabove_woodworkings 🎃😎
@@Batman-fk6pb I hope this means you liked the show. Thanks for tuning in.
My neighbor just made this exact decoration...😊
I wonder if he got it from this tutorial. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Great build Kenny looks great, it's just that your Wife will now know she is the same height and pose as the Grim Reaper ha ha ha.
I have seen your 'How to' videos on making the Gravestones for your own graveyard, when both you and your wife were thinking of the names to put on them ha ha ha.
Stay Safe,
Barry (ENG)
Glad that you liked it Barry. This was definitely a fun project. It's a good thing that Mrs Earrings is a good sport when it comes to my projects and my show. LOL. Thanks for tuning in this week.
Awesome!! Thanks for the idea, and how to make it!
You're very welcome Connie. I'm glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings My husband watches and we LOVE Halloween! He subscribes to you and then I started last night!! ✌️🤘
@@Beatlesfan1076 Welcome aboard. I look forward to your future comments on the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Awesome!! 🤗 Take care! 🎃 And you and your wife and family stay healthy!
@@Beatlesfan1076 Right back atcha. Thanks.
So much work that an old coat hanger could have done
If using an old coat hanger is the method that you choose, then by all means, use an old coat hanger. Thanks for tuning in and good luck with your project.
Your trials with that bucket reminds me of the movie "The Board and the Stone" aaahhh I kill me. What about red led's for the eyes?? Oh and great project.
That would be awesome Richard. I may have to look into that for sure. For the record, I believe that the board could only be removed from the stone by someone who was worthy. I guess that makes me worthy. LOL. Thanks for tuning in and for the chuckle. It's appreciated.
nice this is great i love this
I'm glad that you like it. I hope you will try it for yourself. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.
@@acutabove_woodworkings so im thinking of working on making a Custom of a hooded figure with both hands holding a pumpkin with yellow LEDS for eyes and a rain deer motor that will allow motion from side to side any tips?
@@thephantomhaunter5454 The best tip I can give on this one is keep the frame simple but strong. Make sure that it can hold the weight of the pumpkins. Also, if you are going to add wiring, make sure that it is protected from your moving parts. A pinched wire can really put a damper on your project. I'd love to see it when you are done. Feel free to send photos to kennye@acutabovewoodworkings.com. Good luck with your project.
@@acutabove_woodworkings thanks! it wont be done till most likely late summer or near the Halloween season tho but i will post a edited demo on my channel
I'm not really into Halloween but this is cool.
Halloween isn't for everyone Mark. I enjoy the children's reactions and their excitement throughout the night. My wife and I have a lot of fun at Halloween. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Awesome, now just need to add lights in the eyes linked to a motion sensor bit of:smoke/ mist and a scream and no one will bother you for trick or treat!
And by doing that Newton, that would mean more candy for ME!!!!! LOL. But then I wouldn't get to see the kids have fun. Now I'm torn. LOL. Thanks for tuning in to the show this week and for leaving the kind words.
I'm new to your channel. And ( I LOVE it ) I love the Grim Reper I'm going to make it ... can you make a 6ft coffin
Glad to have you aboard Tony. I will add the coffin to the list of future shows. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words. Good luck on your project.
This looks awesome and scary, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, the selection of Halloween items is not that big here, so you have to make something yourself. Great guide. Greetings from Berlin, Germany
Glad that you liked it Marion. I hope you are able to make your own version of this project. If you do, please feel free to send photos of your finished grim reaper. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave a comment.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Thank you for the nice answer, I'll get back to you when I'm done 😊
@@marionzimelka1069 I look forward to it.
Looks great man I was gonna make my own great job
Glad that you liked it Kevin. Good luck with your project. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave the kind words. It's appreciated.
@@acutabove_woodworkings its a big help as I was looking for ways to do it thank's again
@@KevinsgolfR You're very welcome sir.
I was out when he explained how to attach a 2x4 on a 2x4…….. REALLY???????😂
I guess you can't please everyone. Thanks for tuning in anyway. I hope you were able to take something positive away from the show.
Naw..skip the Crete too heavy and awkward to store...Just put a few Rocks/Bricks in the Bucket then store the Figure and Bucket separately after removing the rocks...
If that's the method that works for you Harry, then by all means, that's the method you should use. Good luck on your project and thanks for tuning in to the show.
He could also hold a bucket for candy!
That is a fantastic idea Richard. With this whole "social distancing" thing that's been going on during the pandemic, we made a candy chute last years that had an illuminated skull at the end of it. So the children could hold out their treat bags and my wife could send candy through the chute and it would exit out of the skull's mouth and into their bag. It was really well received but I also like this idea about the candy bucket from the Reaper. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to chime in with your suggestion.
More fun, great....
Glad that you liked it Steve. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
I need a real scarecrow mask from batman begins movie
Sounds like you need to start making one. You've still got about 6 weeks left to get it done. Thanks for tuning in.
How many bags of concrete do you need?
I am pretty sure that this project took two bags of concrete. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Thank you soo much for responding back...like your vids..
@@MrTaz345 Glad to hear it. Good luck with your project.
I think you're overthinking the design of the under structure for your figure. I also think you could have gotten away with 2x2 instead of 2x4.
The weight of that canvas drop cloth André is quite a bit of a load for a 2X2. Not to mention to possibility of the arm joint splitting with the weight of the lantern on it. With that being said, the show was produced to inspire people to make their own and if you wish to make yours using 2X2 lumber instead of the 2x4 lumber that I demonstrate in this show, then by all means, do it. It's your project and you can make it however you like. The important thing is that you make it. Thanks for tuning in to the show and chiming in with your opinion. It's appreciated.
