Скачать или смотреть Spooky! Making a Halloween Lantern

Once upon a time, the ancient peoples of the British Isles believed that the spirits of the dead could cross over into the world of the living at the end of October. So they dressed in strange costumes to confuse the spirits, and carried lanterns made from hollowed-out vegetables to ward them off. This custom survives today as Halloween, an opportunity to disguise ourselves, decorate our homes in comically scary themes, and celebrate our shared mortality in a way that has become all the more fun for its ridiculous excess.

Here is our contribution to this celebration -- a wooden Halloween Lantern to discourage those evil spirits who are unimpressed by glowing vegetables. Travis and I designed this project to be simple and inexpensive to make -- the lanterns you see are made of common pine and plywood. The only power tools needed are a table saw, hand drill, and saber saw. You can make several lanterns in a weekend, or mass-produce several dozen in a week. It all depends on how badly your neighborhood is infested with evil spirits.

Plans for this Halloween Lantern (INCLUDING the Saber Saw Table Jig) are available from the Workshop Companion General Store at https://workshopcompanionstore.com/pr...

Plans for the two jigs shown in the video, the tall fence and the assembly table, are available at https://workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... and https://workshopcompanionstore.com/pr...

And you can find the pumpkin lights, 1/8" (3 mm) plywood, lamp pipe, and other special finishes and hardware can be found on our Amazon Affiliate Store at https://www.workshopcompanion.com/aff... .
