    Thank you for your love and generosity on providing us with your files. I have made the first step, Mother Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus but instead of painting white I decided to try out my painting skills. Good thing people can look at a distance! A drummer boy would be great! I’ll be sure to share and give you all the credit! Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

    Thanks so much for the templates. My hubby and I will work on this for 2021 Christmas. It has always been a wish to have an outside nativity scene. I used to be a VBS teacher and I learned a trick on tracing so since I have a projector we will open the patterns on my phone, connect to my projector and trace it that way. It will be months, so I will definitely let you know how it turns out. Again, thank you very much.

I live in southern California and we get no snow and only a little rain. The sets stay outdoors year around under the eve of my house. They get little rain there and seem to not even need repainting.

      I noticed I said 3/4" when the wood was actually 5/8". This year as I set up last year's cut outs (using 5/8") the wood had absolutely no bends or warps. It was stored outdoors in a dry place so that thickness seems to work well. The 3/4" would be fine but a lot heavier to haul around. (What location are you from)? I have had replies from all over.

    How much did this cost in total for the whole nativity scene?

    • @gfotinakes316
      @gfotinakes316  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I started this scene last year and added this portion this year. It basically costs one can of paint $30 and a sheet of plywood $38 each year. (Plus saw blades and re-bar material...this price was given.) The nice thing is, it all stores flat so I can just pull out everything each year and use it again and again.

    Do you seal the wood after painting? Or what kind do you use?

    • @gfotinakes316
      @gfotinakes316  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I put one coat of primer on the plywood and then added two coats of flat exterior white latex paint. I have enough paint left over from last year to put a quick new coat of paint on with the "weiny roller" every year to freshen it up. Last year it rained a lot and the wood was fine. I do think it is important to keep the bottom edge up off of the lawn (like I show) to avoid water "wicking up" through the bottom grain.

    How tall are the shepperds and sheep

    • @gfotinakes316
      @gfotinakes316  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have them now stored away in September. I was able to measure from my video image in the garage and the top of the shephard's staff is 47". You can estimate the size of the sheep from this. What I do know is they look like the right size for my lawn. Good luck! By the way, what state are you in? I like to put a pin in my map for all of my replies. Take care!
