Just gotta tell all the viewers that on halloween, it looked amazing with the highlighter marker juice in the water!!! It was glowing perfectly!!! Awesome job you two!!!
Dec. 2017----Awesome man, awesome. Had to laugh at the fountain bobbing around in the water until you had water running over it.....looked like it was possessed.
I've done a Lot of styrene carving over the decades, you have some impressive skill! The symmetry is really nice! Especially hard on round pieces.I probably would have spent one of the years trying to come up with a simple lathe system...You probably just did it all by eye.
You know everyone watched that part 1 and had to wonder what happened with the fountain. Then I seen it in your ghost town. I thought I missed a video or two and went back thru looking. Everything is right in my world now. I just really want to play with some of that awesome foam. I don't think we have anything like that here. Can you send me some? That fountain is so cool. Thank you again for showing us all how you made it happen. I think all of us haunters that at least one project that we have worked on for at least 3 years. And I don't think the new Google+ thing on youtube has a limit on how much I say! I don't get that character warning any more. Just makes me wonder how long I can ramble on. Did I tell you how much I love your fountain??
I remember standing next to this on Halloween night and forgetting that you guys were building one. Then I remembered vaguely and was amazed at how good it looked. Great job, you two!
I haven't seen any birds in there. I'm sure the water isn't great for them but the markers did say non toxic so hopefully we aren't killing the local wildlife off.
silk8668 We were lucky enough to score much of our foam for projects this year from a friend who got the foam from a building that was using it as soundproofing against the walls. We do purchase large pieces of foam from time to time from local stores like Foam Mart when we need it. Check online for possible dealers that may sell sculpting foam blocks or that can order them for your area. They can be pricey but are nice for large projects. Thanks for watching =)
Thank you the water pump is a Total Pond, 210 gallons per hour Part # DD11210 and we purchased at Home Depot. We are located in Burbank/Glendale area. Thanks for the comment =)
I know this is an old video hope you guys still have it ya did a great job carving it, my question is how come you guys didn't concrete the foam so that it looks more realistic
Hey Tony great question. We actually left it foam because it is lighter and easier to paint different colors. The year before this we had it more of a mission style fountain. And depending on our next theme we may change it up again ;)
cool thanks for replying I am just getting into foam carving & creating thing with it so I'm watching as much videos as i can to learn different tricks & ways to it. you guys are great by the way i hope to learn much from you guys keep posting
Hi! Mostly from checking Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. There are foam stores that sell foam blocks but they can be expensive. Tractor Supply gets smaller foam blocks shipped with their trailers to protect them and sometimes if you ask the manager they will give them away. Also the covers to hot tubs is a large piece of foam. Check your free listing near you for those as well.
No, we have been fortunate to either stumble across people giving away large blocks of foam used for soundproofing a building or we can purchase large blocks from several vendors like Foam Mart in our area.

that is awsome! where do you get the water pump from? i've always wanted to make a fountain prop
those are some mad foam carving skillz!...:O
That is so awesome. Actually easier than I would have imagined. Wife would either kill me for making another big prop or insist on leaving it up. B)

Looks so AWESOME I can't believe it's foam you guys did a great job!
You guys are so talented. Awesome haunt!!
Hey great work! What kind of paint did you use, and did you use any coatings to harden the surface? Thanks
this is the coolest thing!
Would you happen to know the make and model and where you purchased the pump you did use? Thanks.
Sure do its called Total Pond, 210 gallons per hour DD11210 part number from Home Depot =)

7:28 made me laugh! Saw the fountain in person and it looked just like the real deal. So are birds are attracted to it?
I haven't seen any birds in there. I'm sure the water isn't great for them but the markers did say non toxic so hopefully we aren't killing the local wildlife off.
Hollywood Haunter Where do you get the large Foam to cut the large circular bottom, I could use this for my G scale Train Layout....

Best part is that it is easy to dispose of.
That's really cool! Great job on the carving. What pump make and model did you use? Also, where are you guys located?

Did you guys pour your own A B foam blocks or purchase them? I haven't been able to find carvable foam blocks that size.

Do you sell these?
