You call it a graveyard obelisk, I call it a masterpiece!
You win
You’ve made Halloween a lot better this year with your videos!
Yay! Thank you!
What a magnificent and colossal work of art! Your gravestone obelisk has such a commanding presence! It would certainly be a prominent addition and the focal point of any graveyard display. 🤩 Definitely a standout and crowd pleaser! Outstanding work, as always! 🧡 🖤
Thank you kindly! Appreciate the kind comments
I sure have been missing your posts recently! I’m so glad you’re back! What a great way to kick off this first weekend of fall! 🍁 🍂
Thank you! I appreciate your support
The skull faces are such a creative and brilliant addition to your already imposing obelisk! 💀
I think the orange and purple lights glimmering from within look absolutely spectacular. I love how the ones on top also illuminate the cross. They give the obelisk an eerie and haunting appearance at nighttime! 🧡 💜
I am always impressed with the way you distress and texture your gravestones.
They look incredible and so authentic! 🪦
Thank you so much ! the lights really elevate this so much!
The light elevated it so much. Amazing details. Great project. 🖤
Thank you so much!❤️
Your creativity has no limits…. You are so talented! You are such a gifted artist! Another masterpiece! Love to watch your projects! ❤️
Thank you so much 😀
I appreciate how this one can be dismantled and stored in several sections. 👏
This is one of the few props that I’ve made that can be disassembled in three different sections for easy storage
I held my breath at the end wondering if the lights idea worked. It appears to have been a resounding success. This was a very satisfying video to watch because we could see your imagination at work even as you created the prop. It’s awesome watching the master at work.
I’m glad you enjoyed it and watched it all. I could fit a body inside the obelisk
Ok, this will be my new centerpiece for my graveyard I am building for next year. I like 1 you did a few weeks ago however that will now move to a side piece. This bad boy will be the focal point. Amazing job again. Glad I have a 10ft ceiling in my storage building/workshop so this will fit inside lol.
Hope it comes out amazing, James ! If you do end up making it next year, make sure to look me up on Facebook under the same name that I have you on TH-cam and send me pics
@IsaacAlexanderDIY Once everything gets built, I will send you pics. Can wait to see what other great ideas you have.
Awesome result Issac! The lights really look great. Thank you for sharing your time, your skills and your adventure.👍🤟🪡🎨
My pleasure!
Your creativity is off the charts! 🙌🏼
Thank you! 😊
Once again you are AMAZING!! 🧡💚💜
*I did buy the book for my daughter who is a first teacher for her kids. It’s a really cute book 🫒🦇
Thank you so much ! And I’m so happy you got my book for your daughter! Hope she read it to her class
The grass is a really nice touch. You think of everything.
Thank you so much ! 🎉
Love how you age your creations!!! The lights came out great too!!! LOVE💙
Thank you so much!!
This is awesome. Lighting it up was a great idea. It brought it to life.
Glad you liked it!
I look so forward to your videos and you are the absolute best at your tutorials!!! You never leave me with any questions. Thank you so much for your videos! I’m going to Lowe’s tomorrow to get the wood for your garage Christmas wreath and I can’t wait to get started 🙂!!
Thank you so much for your kind comment and I’m super happy that you’ll be building my Christmas wreath!
This will look so good with my other gravestones, its unique and beautiful.
Indeed it will!
Wow wow wow!!!! Always amazed and never disappointed!!! 😮😮😮😮
Thank you so much ! 😢❤❤❤
every single thing you build is amazing 👏 🙌 😍
Thank you so much !
Love the light/foam effect! Shout to your boy for his paint job. You two make a good team.
He’s the best
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY we need to see more of him unfortunately the 2 of you are so huge there wouldn’t be enough room
@@russellgerard 😂😂
it is astounding!! the scale, the detail. im literally obsessed with the purple and orange lights an absolute win that it worked haha
Glad you like it! 🅰️
Wow. That turned out very very good!! And you made it easy for me to copy. Thank you once again!!!
You are so welcome!
I love how you hide the lights inside. Just a genious idea 🤓. Can't wait to see the reveal of all your halloween decorations 🎃👻
Thank you so much ! appreciate the support
Yet another fantastic creation!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
I have three words to describe yet another one of your masterpieces…AHH MAZH ZING!!!
Yay! 🎉Thank you so much !
I’ve been waiting for more videos!! This is so awesome!!
More to come!
Looks fantastic.
Thank you so much !
This is awesome. You do some pretty impressive work! A tip for adding the aging: pre-spray your piece before adding the black paint and spraying.
For mine, I dry brush white, add black paint to a spray bottle with water, spray the entire thing, let dry, spray again, until I get the desired effect. Then, I spray it with plain water and do the same technique you did with the black paint, except I use white paint. The white paint helps it to look like mineral buildup. Then I touch up with dry brushing white if needed.
This is such a great tip! Thank you so much for that! Will try this out on some tombstones I’m making now. Thank you again
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY Of course! Hope you like the effect!
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY Of course! Hope you like the effect!
love it!!!!
☺️☺️😊
Awesome!
Thanks!
Wow, you are talented for sure!
Thank you so much!
Another great piece of work.
Thank you so much for watching and for leaving a comment, I appreciate it
Awesome Work 👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome job.
Thanks!
Thoroughly brilliant :)
Thank you so much ! 🎉
Excellent job Isaac!
Thanks again!
Amazing as always
Thanks again!
Excellent tutorial
Glad you liked it
Omg 😱 your amazing your so talented I enjoy watching your videos and seeing you creations come to life. Thank you for sharing your tutorials. Have a wonderful week. 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Thank you so much! I’m so happy that you do
This is amazing! 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much !
You are amazing!!!😮😍😍😍
Thank you so much ! ❤
My week is instantly better now. Thnx King Halloween. 😉😉😉
Glad to hear it! The King is here indeed!
Trabalho fabuloso.
Muitíssimo obrigado
I’m definitely making this
Do it!
Or we could use this as two. I cant get enough of these ideas
😊😊😊
I wanna know where you store everything…Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, other celebrations…everything you make is beyond exceptional. I’m struggling with storage, if I didn’t have to worry about that, I’d make all your holiday crafts. Love them all. ❤🎉😂😂😂
Thank you so much ! I built two large sheds, I have a tall deck that provides storage space underneath it (20ft x 10ft), a walk-in crawlspace, and an offsite large unit
Thats one tall pumpkin!!😂🤪😜😝
Haha indeed
I have problems getting the styrofoam blocks here, but the styofoam coolers for medical supplies are easy to get. I often use those as a base for my tombstones. I'm thinking I can do something like this with those. Just glue the lid in place. Maybe even add some sand to the base for weight, and may not need the rebar to hold it up.
Fantastic job. Really nice
Thank you so much for the support, LordHog. I always appreciate your kindness and support for my channel. Do you decorate for Halloween? Hopefully I can inspire 🎃🎃
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY I typically decorate for Halloween and recently been decorating for Christmas also, xlights.
For Halloween I try to build , but generally end up buying animatronics from places like Home Depot, Spirit Halloween, etc. I am trying my hardest to complete my creature box that I started year ago. The box and pneumatics in place. Just need to finish up the controller this year.
My ultimate goal is to make an animated spider that spins a body as if the spider caught someone and cocooning its pray.
I do find a lot of inspiration from your channel, as others as they are so many creative people out there.
I do donate since I think you do an outstanding job and with the donation I hope it helps the TH-cam algorithm to promote your channel more as I think you deserve it.
The only sad part is at the end of the holiday season it will be idle time and will have to wait until next season to see what creativity you r I guess for us.
@@LordHog I hope you do end up making that animated spider. It would be so awesome. Any amount that is donated is super helpful and I am very thankful for your donation.
Once January comes, I normally stop posting videos until July/August.
Since this is only a hobby of mine, there’s a lot of pressure that is placed on creators to constantly put out content. So I take a mental break for the first half of the year so I can focus on Halloween and Christmas for the last half
OH HOW COOL 😮😮😮😮😮😮 AMAZING WORK
Came out A M A Z I N G!
Thank you so much !
Wow!❤
☺️☺️
Your graveyard set up must look lit!@@IsaacAlexanderDIY
What a masterpiece you created Isaac! Your technique for the stone aging is mesmerizing 🫠 Keep up the great work and thank you 🫡🇺🇸💪🏼💙
Thank you! Will do!
You're killing me Smalls!!😊😊😊 Something to try next year when I buy a bigger yard!🤣🤣🤣 Sheer awesomeness Isaac!!
Thank you so much Cindy!
Another great Halloween diy!!👍🏼👍🏼🎃💀
Thank you!! 😊
This one had a lot of detail work to it.. Very nice Lots of work but so worth the results.. Loved it ~
Indeed, it felt like it was three or four projects in one video lol
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY Yes with all the sections it sure was like a few projects in one... it keeps ya busy ~
I love this idea. Being honest... I cant figure how many hours you need to think on this kind of Diy, But looks great... And congrat for your book. best regard from spain
Muchas gracias por el apoyo! It can be tedious and time-consuming, but I absolutely love it! Thank you !
Can i copy the idea for a hallowen project on my channel? This could be a great idea for a Skull face makeup Halloween¡ @@IsaacAlexanderDIY
@@Teuang-clan of course you can! 😊
Thanks¡¡¡ 😊@@IsaacAlexanderDIY
😲Crikey... this is just awesome.. I have to say, another beautiful art from you for Halloween. and the details and with the lights makes it even more.. ancient almost...love your videos thanks for the tutorial... Ace!!!👌🏆
Thank you so much 😀
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY 😊👍
Isaac dude you are sooo cool. I love that tombstone. Those lights look absolutely beautiful and perfect. Now that you know that the lights work that way may I please make a suggestion? Why don't you make a Haunted House with those orange and purple lights all around it to give it that eerie look. Now that would really look awesome. I would love to see that.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, I’m really happy that the lights worked out. And thank you for the haunted house suggestion, that’s actually not a bad idea and I think it would look really cool with these type of lights.
this guy deserve a million subscribers 👌👌👌👌
One could dream! ☺️
Bonjour Isaac, un élément inévitable dans un cimetière, je le veux il donnerait vraiment bien chez moi!!!! LOL 🤣🤣🤣😉😉😉. Merci beaucoup pour montrer vos belles créations. Respect.🎃🎃🎃🎃🕸🕸🕸🕷🕷🕷🦇🦇🦇
Bro you must have a huge detached garage for these great creations
I built two large sheds, I have a tall deck that provides storage space underneath it (20ft x 10ft), a walk-in crawlspace, and an offsite large unit
Love it!! If only it could be disassembled a little more for storage..
I agree
If they had a love it iconic also I would tap that!! Awesome job ❤ it looks so real
Thank you so much ! ☺️☺️☺️
That looks AMAZING 😮😮🥰🥰🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼👑😈
Thank you so much ! 😊
I just was recommended your chnl on my home page.... And I love this, being an apartment dweller, this might be something I could tackle, but maybe a smaller scale, even if I just ended up selling it just so I can see if I can make it lol! .... I also peeped whatever that pumpkin filled thing is in the background, lol, and hope there's a tutorial for whatever THAT is 🎃😲😁
Ahhh, plaster of Paris.... I JUST used PoP & used it in a silicone mold, let it dry for a day... Went to pop it out annnnd a 1 out 4 broke 😭 and it was literally just a rectangle, nothing fancy (mold for ice cream sandwich, the sandwich part, super easy mold). I don't know what I do wrong W PoP, but it's not the first time I've had it break on me. It's such a bummer.
As someone who makes a lot of fake food W spray foam, if you poke holes in places while the spray foam is drying, and push out the air & excess foam, it makes so it doesn't puff out of shape. I always had a problem with spray foam & air pushing the bread pans out of shape, making them almost oval, so I figured out if you poke holes, it will release the the air & liquid foam.... I use great stuff, it works great when you do the holes and push all through the drying process, so like every 30 minutes. I do the same when making fake cupcakes in muffin tins or pans.
I’m glad you found my channel ☺️hope you’re able to make this in a smaller version
No wonder we have a styrofoam shortage . 😂
lol I took it all
So, making this ❤❤❤❤❤
Do it!!
I will ,I have all the supplies, but mine will be shorter and will have my own twist to it 😊😊😊
@@joannabutler8009 that sounds like the perfect plan. This is a little bit tall so a smaller version will be better.
You need a tv show.
Maybe one day 😊
Great workWhere do u store these huge creations...
I built two large sheds, I have a tall deck that provides storage space underneath it (20ft x 10ft), a walk-in crawlspace, and an offsite large unit
A lot of comments speaking of your unlimited creativity and I would agree, however it would appear as though you must also have unlimited storage space as well.
Haha thank you. I think I’m at capacity now. I built two large sheds, I have a tall deck that provides storage space underneath it (20ft x 10ft), a walk-in crawlspace, and an offsite large unit
Where do you store all these creations

I wonder how it would come out of you used paint, BUT added plaster of Paris OR Baking soda to it to thicken it... Which is something we do in the "primitive" decor world to massively age something .... I usually use chalk paint bc it sticks to everything and it's very matte, but if you need waterproof paint, then latex paint is great too. You can even use Talc powder (sold at like Sally's for barbers)... Your worn look is fantastic BTW. I just wonder if you can do the worn look with the thickened paint instead of using spray foam at all... Lol, awesome video, got me 🤔💭 thinking lol.... Too bad spray paint melts Styrofoam bc Rustoleum makes an amazing stone look spray lol!
This is actually a great idea that you may have given me. I’ve never added plaster or baking soda to thicken the paint but that’s actually a really cool idea. Thank you for the tip on talc powder as well. I do like using spray paint on foam to roughen up the surface before I paint it. I’ve done it before with great success, especially with my tombstones. I will spray paint it in various areas so that it can eat the foam away, which which makes it look aged once you paint it.
Have you ever used that skull mold with spray foam? To keep is light weight? Id be curious to see how it works with the expanding foam, and what to put in the mold to take it out. I think can spray with water first and it will come out?
Yes I have. DONT DO IT! Lol
I RUINED my molds by using expanding foam. Maybe if I had greased the molds it would have worked, but I didn’t and it ruined the mold, and I had to throw them away and buy new ones.
If you line the molds with plastic wrap it works great (but any wrinkles will show.) The plastic wrap will peal right off the spray foam once cured.
How do you store all these giant pieces?
I built two large sheds, I have a tall deck that provides storage space underneath it (20ft x 10ft), a walk-in crawlspace, and an offsite large unit
How many skulls per box of plaster?
Storage???
How did you search for the skull molds? I keep getting cake molds but think they are too small, maybe. Thanks
Your video are great, you explain things well and show your work expertly.
One suggestion would be to use dark brown instead of blacks lt looks a little more natural, it will look black at night but look more realistic during the day. Probably don't need to tell you but think it would take this amazing prop to an even more impressive level.
Thank you so much for the tip, I think I’ll try it next time I paint these with that color. I put the link to the skull molds in the description of the video, I purchased one size, but the seller has about three or four different sizes and shapes.
@IsaacAlexanderDIY
Yes, I ordered the catacombs set, I have to apologize I did not use the link... I tried to find it but am not good at navigating youtube.
Do you just use Plaster of Paris like Home stores carry? Your videos are very good. Your comparison of all this year's skellys was great too. I have been trying to find the Bat ones and the Ultra Poseable ones. Really looking for a couple ultras but they are impossible to find. Lol
Keep up the awesome work!! Thanks for the inspiration and the ideas.
There’s no link for the Styrogoo and I can’t find it on Amazon. Absolutely amazing, I always love all of your creations.
My apologies! I just realized I hadnt added it! Here’s the link Styrogoo (Glue) 17oz

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY You’re awesome! Thank you! 🙌🏼
Just need tractor supply to give me the blocks!!! 😂
Amen! lol
The amount of foam you used might put me into debt! Those cans are at minimum 5 bucks (for the cheap brands) and you used 6 alone on the top half, not including the other parts. There's gotta be cheaper ways. I saved myself a couple hundred bucks on the skeleton statue you did. the monster mud mixture alone was over a hundred. I did it with a big bag of plaster of paris and a can of weatherproofing spray for 30. it's been rained on a few times and it's still perfect.
You’re right, expanding foam can be expensive, especially the loctite brand that I used versus great stuff brand - which is cheaper.
Could i use foam coolers. Cause people trying to charge 50 to 80. Lol
I’ve never used a foam cooler 😕
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY i can find those for free. Ill try it and let u know how it works.
Can I have an address to visit this year? Thank you
Yes, just send me an email on Facebook, search “Isaac Alexander DIY” and I can send it there
U should be making this for local pickup to sell.. lol
Oh my haha
Wow! I live across the street from a cemetery. Might confuse people…
Oh wow!
I don't like the lights but the rest looks good
Fair enough
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY you did a good job👏💀👻🎃
Um we need to check up on the husband. Kinda odd that tombstone is about the same height as him. lol. Issac sealed him in the tombstone lol.
New video halloween time :)
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY always do sir enjoy your videos
This is an awesome monument, but not an obelisk.
An obelisk has to taper and have a pyramid point at the top
Cool story
Thanks! I do not need a childs book 👍🏼
Thank you so much Charles for the donation. Appreciate the support! I hope you have a wonderful day!
1776 flag??
It was carved out of wood. 🇺🇸
Why you so yoked dude?
Haha cause I have my own gym and workout every day
