DIY Broken Tombstone Prop for

- One of the things that’s drawn me to making my own tombstones is just how unique and personal you can make them, and this project is a prime example. I recently saw a photo of a broken tombstone that had to be stabilized with the help of some metal bands and tabs. I thought it was really interesting and would be a nice addition to our aging cemetery display. So in this video, I'll show you how to make one for yourself.

Fantastic build!!! We are dying to make some new Tom stones for our yard, this was perfect timing!
As always, you never fail to deliver. I've made tombstones before but never did I try this idea. Love it! Thanks again for your hard work. :D
My pleasure!
This looks AWSOME! The idea with this metal parts is just great.
I love the “ Frankenstein “ look. Gorgeous
What a great way to update old stones too! I have contemplated making a mortsafe-a cage over the grave to prevent body theft. Is this something you've considered making for the channel?
Very unique! Love the effect of a specific type of tombstone.
Man, that looks so badass. Amazing work, brother. 🎃🎃🎃
Thank you!
Get closer with the spray paint and LET it dissolve the surface. You can go light or heavy and get different depths of "carving". Let the solvent work for you. Done right it can look like sandblasted letters or deep cast letters. Love the repaired tombstone! One last thing. Marble and granite stones will get "gritty" as they age. Slate tombstones stay very smooth and make for great rubbings. Even after hundreds of years.
This is how I make my tombstones
It looks so realistic in the end
Very eye-catching. Love it!!
Im gonna need you to add these fitted Van Oaks hats to the store!! They are 🔥
I wish I could. I do, however, sell the iron on VanOaks Props logo patches in my etsy shop and you can apply them to the fitted cap of your choosing.
Dude!! That is freaking awesome! I have got to try this! Excellent!
Go for it!
Dang, when you said "dramatic reenactment" I was hoping for a Mrs. Van Oaks cameo.
Mrs. VanOaks was hoping for a cameo too. 🤣
Great video AS USUAL 😁😁
What is the best way to attach the clear acrylic to your Dremel?
I know, right?!? They’re always so jaunty and fun! 😄
@@heartsongdjs the version I sell comes with a screw on collar. If you’re making your own, you could use super glue or epoxy to mount the acrylic.
@@VanOaksProps
Thanks Derrick!
Absolutely love your page and all your props especially the Halloween stuff!! If u have an Eric draven video build I’d love to see it as I’ve been wanting one of my own. I saw u had made one in the background of one of your videos . Again great work here some quality work !!
Great Build!
Thanks!
turned out really good love that style of stone HFL!!
Love your content! Could you please do a video on yard haunt vandalism and how to deter/prevent it from happening.
It's not a one size fits all answer, but what I will say seems to be helpful is a fence of some kind. It's the one thing I've heard year after year from haunters that seems to keep people from doing any harm.
That is amazing
Awesome job
Amazing! The puzzlement to me is how you target the precision of the carved lettering with the cowl and leveling acrylic seeming to obscure the cut point? The result looks amazing but we can’t figure out how you see for the precise cuts!!
Thanks! There’s a “window” on the collar that allows you to see the cutting bit.
Thank you! Any reason you used the sand and paint instead of Drylock? Also, what do you use, and how, to hold down your tombstones?
I ran out of drylok. Haha. I have another video on weatherproofing your tombstones that shows how we do it.
You forgot rust stain drips.
Well done. I like to mix a little sawdust with my moss paint to add a bit of texture.
Great tip!
Love the tip about using the watered down paint to fill in the letters. That sounds WAY easier. Very smart! Thanks!
I realy love this idea! Realy cool what inspiration you can find in real life. This is giving me Frankenstein monster ideas too. Like a tombstone of different shades and names put together. Theor is a lot of story telling that can be done with this. I alredy have an idea of a Frankenstein monster/Lurch type crypt keeper that this would be amazing for
Wow that Tombstone looks amazing and so realistic 👏👏🪦⚰️🎃💀Thank you so much for sharing
Thanks for watching!
A great, unique tombstone Derek! How do you secure your tombstones outside so they don't fall over or get blown away?
I made a video on that exact topic. Check it out: How To Setup Your Halloween Tombstones

Another magnificent build. Thank you so much.
My pleasure!
That looks spectacular 👏👏👏👏👏👏
spooktacular
Thank you!
You do wonderful work. Gave me great ideas. Thank you. But I have to say (a bit off topic) you sound like Casey Kasem. I keep expecting you to tell me the top 100 songs this week! 😁
Looks awesome! I've never seen a fractured tombstone held together with metal bands. Love the look. I'd love to see how you bore out the bottoms of your tombstones to add in the PVC for the rebar. Do you drill them out with a forstner bit? Thanks for sharing.

@@VanOaksProps yes. Thank you.
Next level: ANIMATED breaking tomb stone!
That really turned out great. I’da bet it was concrete unless I was told otherwise.
Really cool build! Looks awesome!
Thanks!
That looks so amazing!
Omg that's my local graveyard ! can't believe it's been featured on one of my fav youtube channels lol
I used the leftovers to make one that is crumbled down and the bits hanging at the base and all.... It added some old creepy to my grave yard!
Its been decades since I redid my graveyard. These methods have stepped up my game in ways I'd never used or produced. Having a great time.
Oh that was so beautiful!!🧡🖤🧡👻🎃
Any chance to get the name of your starting theme song?
Way to go Gigmaster!!
I love this so much!!
So good
Cool
Mind blown. Wow. You’ve got game. So artistically creative 🎃💀👻👌👍
Thanks so much!
Looks great.
Excellent. ❤
These are great videos this is how I do my tombstones instead of the torch I use a heat gun but I have to be careful because if I put it too close and too hot it opens up the letterings, ugh. I use two coats of Drylok gray that usually works very well. A hand paint with full latex paint in every letter can take hours sometimes to do the whole Tombstone but I like it nice and bright so after my coats of weathering it takes off the shine a little bit to finish my tombstones I dry brush the entire Tombstone with white paint really picks up all the edges and the lettering perfectly just got to do the latest dry brush you possibly can in white
That's a great method
Awesome
What’s the material you used that imitates metal banding ? Thanks !!!
I apologize I didn’t bother watching the entire video. I found what material you used.
Stunning work,looks so real
Thanks so much
Love how this tombstone came out with the metal banding!! Excellent build!
Very cool and a great idea, it came out amazing. Great job 🧡🤎💛🍁🍂
Thank you!
Can I please get a link for the attachment you put on your dremel? I don't know what they are called exactly to look it up to get one.
Thank you for sharing this video.
It's in the video description.
What was the rubberized spray that you put on the foam to help the paint stick?
Plastidip.
Jimmy Diresta recently restored a tombstone on his property that needed a metal frame to hold the broken pieces together. Cool to see two of my favorite makers doing similar projects right around the same time.
Cool! I’ll have to check it out.
Any other suggestions for easy DIY rivet heads besides googly eyes or molded hot glue?
Rubber bumper pads.
Always impressed with your videos. What is the vinyl cutter that you use?
Thank you! It’s a silhouette cameo
Great video. Very helpful.. Will you do a video of your display for this year?
Thank you! Not likely. Our display rarely changes, so this video from 4 years ago is pretty close to what it will look like:

Hmmmm... paintable caulking? never thought about it, i had only seen or heard people use wood putty, spackling ( for some reason the paint always bubbles when i use it :/ ) and some other glues, i may switch to using caulking now, i did a tombstone ( video coming tomorrow ) where i pressed the Great Stuff' Foam into the cracks and let it dry, i used an exacto knife to carefully cut away most then finish sanding it smooth, i found that works but is far messier, how hard is it to sand caulking? i HATE those seams in the foam, if you dont seal them hard they'll re-open up and show through your paint and man that destroys a good tombstone, i appreciate these videos for tips so much!
You can’t sand caulking, but you shouldn’t need to if you’ve applied it smoothly and paint over it.
@@VanOaksProps oh ok thankyou!!!
This is DEFINITELY one I'll be trying.
What bit do you use for delicate letters? How big are the letters?
Dremel 194. The letters were about 2” tall
How do you attach the plexiglass to the rotary tool?
The acrylic is glued to a piece that is screwed on
Well done it looks old and broken and awesome.
Thanks!
I'm so jealous of your computer and your vinyl cutter. I've made about 40 Stones like you make them but everyone has to be hand traced with different stencils sizes or shapes one stencil at a time with a magic marker
I was in the same boat. I just got tired of doing it by hand and grabbed a vinyl cutter on sale. I'll never go back LOL
@@VanOaksProps I totally agree with you it takes so long to do all the stencils by hand I have to draw a straight line so all the stencils line up across the tombstone on a straight line and I have to space them out by hand sometimes it gets really annoying LOL. Because of that each Tombstone takes me 8 to 10 hours . I work on them a couple hours after work every day I make around 5 to 6 per season. I buy two 4×8 x 2 in thick foam sheets.
Great idea.
Thanks!
Great build idea! Rather than making the Tombstone from scratch you could use a decent store bought tombstone and do the same process essentially, if you don't have the time/energy/materials to do it from scratch.
Good tip!
Love it!
Thanks!
