So good!! Nice twist on the pallet jack-o'-lanterns. I made a few this year out of reclaimed bamboo flooring, but none are quite as cool as these! Well done sir!
This is the best JO'L that I have seen anyone make. One suggestion, though, is if you do not want your drill bearings to go out, and start having problems with runout, then I suggest that you purchase a die grinder for the carving: electric or pneumatic. Just bear in mind that if you go pneumatic, you will need a compressor capable of providing enough air for the job, and it will be quite a substantial amount.
That's really cool. You might want to try painting a light color inside next time. It will help the light reflect better so you can see the features of the face
First video of yours I've seen. Thank you for not talking and playing music worthy of listening to. I've gotten to a point to where I mute all YT videos because people just talk too much. My brain needs to relax and this video achieved that. Great project and great video.
You've a great imagination Ben, superb job along with your filming and editing skills. You're thinking you've read this before lol. You have, I watched this video first on my mobile phone, then somehow commented on your other video lol. Anyway. Great work on your other video as well doing the mitre jig build. Tony
@@HewAndAwe yea a swear the self titled dickhead over @dainermade has some kinda connection with the shipping folk and gets all the good pallets sent over there we get left with the shit pine ones or the red and blue ones. 👍🏴
@@michaelwillson6847 I had one that was spalted beech, but like you say 99% are shite pine, but also to wet to use indoors. I still can't work that out I had 4 pallets all been outside, the pine ones all at 22% moisture content and the beech one at 12% MC.
@@HewAndAwe well that's a new one never come across Spalted beech pallet before. Yea a can't figure things out with them or the other good one a get is get every single slat is different leghth width and thickness?🤔👍🏴
I wonder how it would look if you didn't cut the face out entirely, rather used a router bit to carve away most of the inside of the wood with the face design, then you could put an actually light bulb inside and the light might illuminate the face (because the wood will be a much thinner layer for the face). Also, it will be like a ghost face, cis when it's not lit, you won't even know there's a face carved inside!
Hey Mate.! Got an idea I wanted to share with ya.! Use fishing line to hang these thinks on, and small shelf for the battery powered tea-lights, drill small hole 1 1/4" diameter, approximately 1/4"-1/2" depends on the thickness of the shelf material and you have floating, ghost, creepy, jack-o'-lanterns that appear to float. Okay, so, everytime I started watching this video, I get a phone call, or a text, or my wife needed something, I just only today got to watch the video up to the point of seeing installing a light into them.😎
Cheers Scott, hellraiser was my inspiration for these so the chain made sense. I was really hoping I could of got a bat shadow shone on the ground below them hanging but was a nightmare to achieve 🤦🏻♂️
@@HewAndAwe You should work making a 'bat-prototype'.😎 But, seriously, you should work on making a bat... I'm gonna "give-it-a-go!" This weekend, cause Monday's a holiday here in the States. I've got plenty of wood splinters in the ol'scrap/burn pile.
Holy shit, those are FANTASTIC! I’m totally stealing your idea and making one or two of my own. (At 0:34 into the video was a nice touch!😊) Love the cut of your jib, keep up the great work!
Amazing!!! I was wondering what to do with some old pallets… job done… was thinking about building some grave stones to properly scare the locals… but can’t work out how to finish them to get that stone effect so I think I’ll give these a go :-) didn’t like the bosses hanging baskets so perfect 😂😂
Thank you Richard, you could use plaster/cement/lime and then a paint affect spray with grey and dust with a white - youre taking me back to my modelling days..
@@HewAndAwe that’s a good call.. back to the days of milliput or what’s ever it was called…. Yep I might have to try that effect dusting with white is another good shout…. 👍
I made fake rocks for a fish tank a few years ago using sand, cement, PVA glue and water made up into a slurry mix then applied on to rock shaped polystyrene with an old paint. Worked a treat.
I'll never understand the halloween madness/hype/market/wtf, all this could be a great african mask if you may, but hey... who am i to judge, right? Nice pallets reuse anyway mate, cheers.
Thanks to you for sharing your creative flair. Great reclaiming, simple construction, no needless chatter. 🎃💜
Thank you for the complement, much appreciated!

Thank you Zac, much appreciate the complement mate! Hope you're well and good!
Much better than the generic ones everyone's been copying and selling 👌
Now come up with your own twist on it guy's, don't just copy it
Thank you for the complement mate! ...looks like they're already being copied :-/
I'm planing on making some of these but my twist will be adding a dry ice holder for fog and adding creepy voices of the damned.
They look superb Ben. Great idea.
Thank you Derek - fingers crossed thye sell! Hope you had a nice weekend mate!!!
I gotta try this! I think painting the inside orange would help when lighting them.
That’s why I painted the inside black, when the light was on you could see all the rough inside which didn’t look right imo.
@@HewAndAwe I meant that it would make it glow bright orange when lit, like an actual pumpkin.
These are great. Easily the best jack o lanterns I've seen. I am definitely taking some inspiration from these for one of my next builds.
Thanks dude, appreciate the compliment mate!!! 🍻🍻🍻

I’ve been there dude, the drill cuts way better.
Ok so I’m only 18 seconds into the video, but I had to pause just to come here and say that that skil saw intro was freaking awesome!
Thank you, that took days to do! I’ve since had to drop it to see if it affects my engagement time 😞
Really cool! Nicely done Ben
Thanks mate, I appreciate you saying that - nice of you to say thank you!
That's really cool. You might want to try painting a light color inside next time. It will help the light reflect better so you can see the features of the face
I did, it looked terrible you have to consider what they look like in the daylight too. 👍
mighty job as per usual chum
Thanks alot as if I didn't have enough projects already. I have to do this . Love it man.
Hey Russell! Thanks dude for the compliment, go mad, was a fun build cause you really dont have to give a shit the nastier they look the better 😂
Super cool man!
Cheers dude! 🍻🍻🍻
Your lanterns are amazing! I am definitely going to try to make some like these on my next day off.
Thank you for the compliment, hope you have a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
I really do like the cut of your jib mate, another great video, and a treat to start my monday off with a double dose. Cheers
Cheers Sam! Thanks for the complement mate! x
Excellent! I look forward to mimicking the lanterns.From a new subscriber. Thank you.
Cheers dude! Hope you had a lovely weekend! 🍻🍻🍻
Great job! I'm inspired to make some with my used pallet stash! Thanks for the ideas🎃
Thank you for the compliment 😊
Those are COOL!!
Thanks buddy 😊

The way you were going at those holes with the drill bit reminded me of my honeymoon with my second wife 😟
LMFAO!!!!!!!!! ...you inspired me 😂
Hahahahahahaha
I did that to your wife on her first honeymoon 😅
For those that missed it. 03:35
😂 😝 lol!
Spooky cool my friend nice job
Thanks for watching dude, hope you have a lovely weekend! 🍻🍻🍻
Very cool. Looks cool.
Thanks dude! Hope you have a lovely weekend 🍻🍻🍻
These are fantastic.
Cheers Scott!! They’re the only thing I’ve made and sold 😂
Excellent idea… though I was confused by the Christmas music in a Halloween Jack-o-lantern build video. 🎄👻 🎅🎃
Cause it’s spooky dude 😁 think of the films using classical music like 2001, well that’s my thinking anyway.
You've a great imagination Ben, superb job along with your filming and editing skills. You're thinking you've read this before lol. You have, I watched this

Dude....👏👏👏👏👏 awesome
Thanks mate! 😊
Wow!!! So cool!!
Cheers Ron! 🍻🍻🍻
Just found you channel through the Aussie pallet master they look wicked dude. 👍🏴 Nice see someone else from uk doing pallet work.
I popped my cherry on this one, if we got pallets more like what they get in OZ I'd do more!

Thanks dude! 🍻🍻🍻
Way cool knew ther was something I could do with my old nails
I wish people would put them back in their pallet wood builds instead of filler - can’t all be artistic minded I guess 😆
I wonder how it would look if you didn't cut the face out entirely, rather used a router bit to carve away most of the inside of the wood with the face design, then you could put an actually light bulb inside and the light might illuminate the face (because the wood will be a much thinner layer for the face). Also, it will be like a ghost face, cis when it's not lit, you won't even know there's a face carved inside!
Sounds good, I don’t imagine you’d get the wood thin enough mind you and the light would be to bright out the bottom imo.
Really like this idea. Have to do it!
Cheers for the compliment 🍻🍻🍻
Best I've seen made! Subbed.
Where did you get the lights?
@@TreggLiebler Amazon dude, Flexzion Solar LED Lights (2... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0814FHFF4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share 👍
@@HewAndAwe THANKYOU! Can't wait to try my own version. Did you ever sell any?
@user-kk1wg4jr5b hi, sorry I thought I’d answered this. From Amazon amzn.eu/d/06fDABQ
Much more interesting than the bog standard box with a face that everyone else is doing. Subbed 😁
Thank you John, thank you for the complement! I hope youre well mate!!!
yes look a great thing to make if I could pallets
Thank you Wade 😊
really cool great imagination

@scottbionicnerf8727 the hard part is getting a crisp shadow from the bat, it looks blurry with just a light and a bat plate in the way.
Thanks for sharing, but instead of having a bat symbol in the bottom put a mirror at the bottom and it will reflect more light through those holes
That would kill a lot of light coming out the bottom though..

Theres something about lanterns with noserings that is truly terrifying.
Nose rings in general are. Why looking like a bull is considered a good look I'll never know.. :-/
Not bad dude.. not bad.
Cheers dude!
fantastic
Thank you Gary!
👏👏👏👍são Paulo, Brasil!
Cheers buddy, hope you have a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Noice. For the perfect touch; meet the kids who come to your door with a running chainsaw. :-)
Im visualising that, loads of Chuckie's with no respect for the script LOL
Superb. Scaring me shitless.
Hahah, before you ask everything is okay at home :-D
obligatory comment to feed the bastard algorithm
Cheers James, hope youre having a lovely weekend mate!!!
I'm doing this today.
Where did you find the light? Ace? HD?
Amazon 👍
👏👏👏
Thank you 😊
I’m so confused by the sign of the cross he made on his chest hahahaha
Putting pallet wood through the thicknesser - heart in mouth moment, hoping the blades don’t get trashed!
remove one or two LEDs and put one or two LEDs to change the color
No 😂
I'll never understand the halloween madness/hype/market/wtf, all this could be a great african mask if you may, but hey... who am i to judge, right?
Nice pallets reuse anyway mate, cheers.
Nor me mate, I thought I'd try one for the algorithm instead of my own way..
@@HewAndAwe Cheers
Ummmm. Sir do you drink colloidal silver or am I just seeing things? Your skin looks blue….
No, Leffe blond. That was back when I didn’t have 10bit 4.2.2 goodness.

I really really liked these but the light sucks I'm just telling you the truth
No, you're telling me your opinion not the truth.
Nice job but I had to silence the video, you music is not my taste for doing projects like this.
way to throw it against the wall and see what sticks >
I’ve no idea what you’re on about.
