I highly recommend buying the templates from Wallace. I purchased three so far and I will be ordering a couple more. I have #20 fence slats cut up and ready for the nail gun and glue, just have to finish the cut outs. I also took several fence slats and painted them yellow, I will be using the yellow ones as the back panel so when the lantern lights up at nite it will reflect a little more, at least that's what I'm hoping for. Thanks for everything Wallace...
Love the video, just received my templates today and want to try the the interchangeable style. Do you have any idea when your Christmas design templates will be out and available? Keep the videos coming!!!
This is a great video with clear directions. I am going to try making and selling these this year. I will check the templates you offer on your website for sure. May I know what price you offer these lanterns and each faceplate at? Just trying to get an idea while knowing markets could be different in different places. Thanks again for your nice video.
@@wallaceworkshop Oh Ok - I was asking for the price of the lantern and additional faces. I think what you mentioned are the template prices. Thanks in advance.
Just don't paint them. Just let the customer decide if they want them painted or not. This also gives the customers the option to paint it themselves if they so choose at a later date
To each their own. This is just the way o do it. I’ve seen some who use my templates do it this way and others who build them differently. If anything, I hope to inspire creativity.
Bought the wood templates. Awesome quality.

Another great video man the out takes were funny as hell🤣
It’s a process to make these videos. Usually it’s entertaining.
@@wallaceworkshop I can only imagine keep up the good work! I have one of your templates coming in the mail Monday super stoked about it
Ok, so do you sand the cut pieces before assembly? By the way I really enjoy your videos. Thank You
Thanks! In don’t. I leave them ruff
Awesome video. Clear direction. Keep up the awesome work. 👽 out takes are great.
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the kind words.
Awesome idea. We started making some this year. Slightly different design. When do you normally start seeing these sell?
For me, September was the prime time for lanterns last year. But I relied heavily on local Facebook groups.

Do you sand the pickets before cutting to size? or do you use a planer?
Nope.

$25 for acrylic and $14 for MDF. Thank you for the kind words.

Are you going to make a video on how you made your pumpkin's??
That’s my plan 😁
If anyone's curious those fence pickets are 5.5" wide, 5/8" thick, and 6' long.
Be careful, some of the cedar fence pickets are thicker than others, pick them out well.
What's the difference between the acrylic and MDF material for template? Is it life span of material?
How do u get the face patterns
I made them. You can get them here wallaceworkshopllc.com/products/jack-o-lantern-router-templates

Not sure how you make interchangeable faces when the colors of each season is different.....
I choose not to paint mine. Though it doesn’t mean you can’t. Red can go with with almost any seasoning. Green too.
Just don't paint them. Just let the customer decide if they want them painted or not. This also gives the customers the option to paint it themselves if they so choose at a later date
I get you’re doing well with this design, but to me, the hat overlaps too much and looks disproportionate, again it’s probably just me.
