DIY….Modifying statues so they will be secure on pedestals
มุมมอง 41710 หลายเดือนก่อน
This video goes with another video I made today building pedestals that will allow you to safely secure your statues to them. You can find that video here. th-cam.com/video/zczwmJeA3_Q/w-d-xo.html For the added security you need to modify the statues using the method in this video.
DIY…….Outdoor Pedestals made from Home Depot buckets.

In this video I will show you have to make Pedestals for Halloween statues (and other statues) that will withstand heavy winds, rain and can even be set up at a bit of an angle if you are on a hill. I use two Home Depot buckets, 1/2 in PVC and 1 1/2 inch insulation board. I coat it with a special mix of monster mud that I first saw in a Vanoaksprops video. The mix is at the 2:40 mark of this vi...

Thank you for all the details.
I hope it works out well for you if you do it.
Cool project, Well done.
Thank you!
fantastic idea! This will be very useful when I do a space/alien theme
Everyone loves a gratuitous Beaver shot ! (Loaded Weapon reference)
This is an old video and there are many new skeletons out there. As of 2023 I think the Home Depot Ultra Posable Skeletons are by far the best I have seen and a great base for creating other props.
Your zombie scarecrow is especially cool!
Thank you, that was one of the earlier props I made around 2015
to make my skeletons stand, i use 5 ft rebar. drive it in the ground about 18" (call 811 so you don't hit a gas line). ziptie skeleton on above the knee and to the spine at the ribcage.
lookin pretty good nice Job HFL!!
Thanks, it’s going to be a fun theme Halloween night.
Promo_SM 🤷
And the Knees are Fused in Place. gotta get the guy a Pair of Braces for his Legs, Forrest Gump Style.
Great way and best I have seen. Thanks.
I always tape up the ends of my pvc when foam them into a tombstone or etc.. Works out great to keep foam out of the pvc.
Thanks, good tip.
Nice idea using the buckets to do this project.
Thanks, lots of 5 gallon buckets that will work well. A buddy of mine has a bunch that held chlorine tablets for his pool that he is giving me next week.
Awesome, thank you for the post...I'll be doing that this year!! Very nice!!!
Nice work. Please train your camera person - that was painful to watch while the camera is bouncing around the whole time
Easy just put a 4ft rebar in ground and tied with cable ties simples
Why is she not blinking?
Thank you for pointing that out. We are taking her back and returning it or getting a new one. Between that and part of her staff not working I have no confidence in this unit. The company mailed out a new staff piece but the I am done messing with this one.
Where did you buy it? How much, I would like to purchase 2 of them
Home Depot carries it. He is currently sold out on line but it is possible it will come back in stock. Also check your local Home Depot store when they put out Halloween.
It could get suffocated so keep an eye out
I threw the bag out soon after the video so all is good. 😃
helpful... dick
Good breakdown. I do believe the one on the end by the Home Depot one is from Spirit Halloween. Toes are important too. Some of them have feet with all of the toes molded as one piece. Gotta have those individual toesies!
Can I have your skeleton.🦎🐉🐈
Thanks, cool idea. Consider adding some reinforcing, tape will eventually give out.
No problem. Hope you can make good use of it.
Thanks Troll 💀very helpful💯
good idea thank you
Not loud enough
Thanks! Super helpful!
Excellent!
Great video except for the loud background noise
Cool 😎 skeleton's
Thank you!
The neighbours being like "honey it's that man again he's putting more corpses in the trees"
What thickness rebar did you use and how long?
1/2 inch rebar. You can make do with shorter rebar but I normally use 8 to 10 inches in the leg and about 6 to 8 in the ground.
what was the name of the place that you learned how to do plastic corpsing ? i couldnt make out the name of the studio on the video. Can u send me the name of that studio ? You also mentioned that you have a video of doing plastic corpsing. can u send me the link for that video. Thanks alot
Search for stiltbeast studios plastic corpsing. Well worth the 20 minutes. My video is here. th-cam.com/video/e92Q4X1dPt4/w-d-xo.html
thank you so much! I hope I can pull this off with my eight foot skeleton!
Hi, with an 8 foot skeleton the leg bones are going to be larger and there will be a lot more slop/movement in the leg that might make it hard to do with 1/2 inch rebar. I would consider using zip ties to attach 3/4 in pvc to the back of the legs and running the rebar through there so that you don’t get that slop. I have a link to pictures of what I am talking about. I did it for a mannequin. You could attach the pvc to the leg bones the same way. www.halloweenforum.com/threads/finally-got-off-my-lazy-butt-and-started-making-new-props.148097/post-2636019 I would also reinforce all the connections between joints as much as you can. An 8 foot skeleton is going to have more weight and want to bend a lot more. It might even be worth running a longer pieced of pvc up both the back parts of the the legs to get the extra stability. Good luck, I would love to know if it works or not.
@@internettroll7604 Thank you so much!! Halloween is my favorite time of year and I always go all out! I wish I could get the 12 foot skeleton but he's always sold out. Thanks again for your help
Looks awesome! What kind of light did you use inside the horses mouth?
Thank you. It’s a fire and ice light. The kind you stake into the ground.
I love it!!!! Thx for sharing
Thank you
love it. Thanks for sharing. I just found you here and Im a new subbie.
Looks great! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
How do you have so many skeletons?
I use to buy them from various Walgreens when they were 50/75/90 percent off after halloween depending on when I got them and what year it was. I did this over the course of 5 or six years which allowed me to stock up with a lot of skeletons.
@@internettroll7604it's my dream to have an assortment of skeletons and nightmares in my home
@@martakazmierczak310 lol… I get it. 1/2 my basement is decorated with stuff I made over the years and really liked or are halloween related
Creepy😱😬😳
After 3 weeks, some heavy rainstorms and winds, I can honestly say these performed well. They added a little extra to my display and gave me another place to attach light to light up the display. This was useful in that the lights I use are normally on the ground and the top of the hill blocks some of the light hitting the display. Putting the lights in the trees lit things up much better.
i recently bought a 3ft skeleton and plan to sculpt a predator from the movies completely over it and watching this video has helped me a bit in keeping the skeleton standing but I may have to have a piece of pipe or wooden rod to help with the weight that'll be placed onto the skeletal frame
Glad the video was a help
I was torn on this guy & whether to get it. I think it would make such an impact if it flew higher. Spirit’s vendors can do it if they can make Mr. Dark jump 8 feet. But I haven’t seen a model sway to the side as far as this one does. Plus, the motion is typically smoother than this. It almost looks like the swaying mechanism is compromised. Is it supposed to move this far to the side?
I did get it and I think they did not attach something properly which is why it sways to much. I will say this much. I had a bonfire last weekend and the kids loved this prop more than any other. They must have spend 20 minutes clapping and activating it over and over.
Great tutorial! I found myself yelling at the video a few times cuz it kept moving out of shot, but I figured it out. Ha. Thx!
Thanks, My wife and I definitely are not professionals. :)
@@internettroll7604 Ha, are any of us? It was just one particular spot where I wanted to see where you secured the hip joints together. I bought a sturdy, poseable skelly from Spirit & realized one of the hip joints was broken. When I found your video, I saw my solution. Thank you! You seem to know a lot about securing decorations & making your display look professional. I bought Grim from Spirit this year & he’s already attached to a stand. They basically use your concept to make him stand, except they welded the steel poles into a typical animatronic base unit instead of hammering them into the ground. It’s pretty secure, but I want to stake the base unit into the ground as well as attach fishing line from the skelly to stakes in the ground surrounding Grim. I’m not a fan of the plastic stakes & wish there was a rebar stake that’s curved at the top to secure around the base unit. (Hope that makes sense) Unfortunately, I can’t find anything like this. Do you know if someone makes this kind of stake, or is there a heavy-duty stake you recommend? Thanks! I look forward to watching more of your videos!! ☺️
@@b-dub6865 thanks. There are various stakes that might fit your needs.

Lookin good Troll!
Thank you, I appreciate the thoughts
That's incredible! Great job!!!
Thank you !
Pretty cool. Good job. Where do you live? Your front yard is humongous.
Thank you, I live in southeastern Pa. The yard front is about 190 feet long which gives me a lot to play with, but is on a hill which restricts what I can do a bit.
Very nice setup
Thank, I am feeling good about the set up this year.
two thumbs up
Thank you
Love it! How did you get the skeletons to stay on the roof?
Thank you, I did it using a combination of fishing line and these vinyl siding hooks. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081VDJBQF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
