The ULTIMATE DIY Halloween Tombstone Marathon!

One of the first! Great vid!

Thanks for putting this together! Love your vids.

Oh man, I know the melting foam issues. When my sister and I made fake walls for our haunt...words to live by.

Great idea, perfect timing.

Making Tombstone tutorials for questions you were DYING to ask but were BEA A FRADE to ask Bwahahaha!!!!

Merci pour tes vidéos ! From France

GA: Please index/ chapter your videos.... TIA

What speed do you set your Dremel at when carving the tombstones?

I really love your videos, I’ve made several things including the trio of candles on books. It’s my favorite Halloween decoration!

In the UK I find it hard to find foam without foil on the face.
Does anyone know if you can just peel off the foil, or where I can find this type of foam this side of the pond.

This is an amazing compilation! Thanks for putting it together.

If you don't have a Vinyl Cutter to make stencils you can print your epitaphs using your computers printer. Glue the paper directly onto the face of your tombstone using a children's Elmers Glue Stick. It goes on purple and dries clear and is water soluble. Now carve directly through the paper. When you are finished use water in a spray bottle and a sponge to remove the remaining paper. The glue will turn purple when it is wet which is very helpful for removing the excess that is left over. I have used this method many times and it works great.

I absolutely love that everyone celebrates my birthday with such prompt and circumstance!

Greetings from coastal North Carolina! Cool compilation video, as always! A lot of patience with that letter routing! WOW!

A great compilation. Could you add chapters for the differing techniques?

We did something similar to the projector headstones for our fog machines. We then used styrofoam coolers and built up a headstone on top of it to run the hoses through. They kind of look like monuments or crypts. We used a lot of your techniques. Thanks for posting these videos to help the rest of us make our haunts look awesome.

I swear your voice is so familiar! Did you narrate a tv show or movies?

Nice collection Derek!

Hi derek how do you make the stencils plz sir

Great videos Derek! I like the compilation and chapter time stamps, very helpful. So much great info to make awesome tombstones!

What saw do you use? It cuts through the board so easily!

Pretty much all of my tombstones are after horror movies I'm a huge horror fan so a lot of the times I will take the theatrical poster and make my own stencil on paper to match the exact font and shape of the movie. Then I put the best tag lines from the movie and a lot of time The Killers named as well

LOVE this!! Thanks spooky friend

i miss the original music. i cant for the life of me find it online.

Saw you at Summer scream in Long Beach a few weeks ago. You were busy helping a customer so I didn't stop to say I enjoy your artistic ability, and damn it, if they ever do a life story on Casey Kasem, you are dead ringer for his voice!

For the big fonts on the tombstones what size drill bit do u use for the dremel?

A lil off subject but you sound a lil like Casey Casum

Nice

You should’ve stayed out of politics. I enjoyed your videos now I think you suck, go, Trump! We will win this shit.

I love the work you do…So talented

Hi you have a link to the projector, and the screen material, is the projector pre loaded with stuff to play or do you have to download stuff, how far and big can it project, once again great videos

Did you make tge foam wire cutter?

AMAZING... AS USUAL!!!

I recently received your smaller acrylic dremel adapter. I couldn't find my dremel, but did com across my B&D Wizard. The template fit perfectly and was amazing on a current project I'm working on

I live in wet and damp Florida. What do you recommend for sealing your tombstones?

You can also use artist acrylic spray paint from Montana or Ironlac. They don’t melt the styrofoam. 😊

If you don’t have a blow torch, could you use acetone to melt the styrofoam?

Which Drylock do you use? I looked it up on-line and there are several different types and brands.

I admire you! Amazing videos, editing is awesome, truly inspirational! I wish I had the tools to do Halloween stuff year round to sell! Happy Halloween 🎃

How do you clean the foam gunk off the dremel bits?

what type of vinyl did you use?

Super fukin impressive

Do you have a link for the projector?

Can you use the foam board with all the writing on it, not the paper/foil just like printed on it. Will it work with the water and torch to make the texture?

An idea that might help is using a leather-working carving knife for cutting out stencils. It is a swivel knife with replaceable "x-acto" blades. If it works well on leather, I'm sure it will work well cutting out paper stencils or cutting directly through a template into foam. I've never tried it for this application, but I have done a little bit of leather work in my deep past. The swivel knife is amazing.
