Hey Carl, Remember I asked you how to cut sidewalks if I didn't have a proxxon hot wire foam table? I used my husbands metal T square. I lined the T square on the foam, measured 1/4 inch, set the T square on top of the foam and used the hot wire foam sculpting tool to cut along the straight edge of the T square. I am so excited. I do have to tell you my husband tried to cut the foam sidewalk with every tool he had in the garage and managed to cut some pretty straight sidewalks using his table saw. What a mess it made but the table saw also worked. Thank you for all your tutorials, I enjoy every one of them.
I love your videos. I could watch you do this all day. Great instructions and the sidewalk looks so real. AMAZING. In a different video, you showed manor row, can you tell me what houses you have displayed there? Thank you for the step by step videos
Awesome-thank you! Manor row has the following houses: The Victorian House, Gravely Estate, Mordecai Mansion, Patty’s Pumpkin Patch, Grimsley Manor, Ghastly’s Haunted Villa, and the Haunted Mansion.
Hello…thank you. For Christmas villages, I add white PVA glue where I want the snow (I use Dept 56 Fresh Fallen Snow as I find it the most realistic) and then once it dries, I spray it with a glue water mixture and allow that to dry.
Thank you! If you watch me Monsters of the Deep review, I cover a technique I found on UA-cam for water…made with glue and water mixture and toilet paper!!
Thank you so much for the detailed video, Carl! I'll be following these instructions parts of my village this year, though my town "vibe" will be a little more run-down looking. I may have asked elsewhere--does the base layer have to be black?
@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl Found them all! Thank you. When you cut your stairs how wide is the knife that you used? I’m looking at tool kits both on Amazon and the hot wire website. Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason that you chose the Proxxon versus the hot wire table?

Awesome and glad to hear! I have a table saw, but I can only imagine the mess using that! Glad you found an alternative method!!!!
Good job Carl, great instruction!
Thank you!!
That’s so great! Thank you 😊
Glad you liked it!
I will be incorporating your tutorials this summer when I build my village. Awesome as always, Carl.
Thank you!!!! Beautiful!!
Perfect video! I'm definitely trying this. Thank you!
You are such a crafting perfectionist! No wonder your villages look so amazingly lifelike!
Thank you!!!!
Much appreciated, Carl.
Excellent idea for my village. Always look forward to your videos.

Best tutorial I have seen. How would you add snow like texture for Christmas village. I loved the video.
Hello…thank you. For Christmas villages, I add white PVA glue where I want the snow (I use Dept 56 Fresh Fallen Snow as I find it the most realistic) and then once it dries, I spray it with a glue water mixture and allow that to dry.
Thank you. You definitely make it so easy to follow. How about one for water, like a spooky lake?
Thank you! If you watch me Monsters of the Deep review, I cover a technique I found on UA-cam for water…made with glue and water mixture and toilet paper!!
Carl, any thoughts on Flex Paste by Woodland Scenics for the snow drifts?
Yeah-I think it would work just fine!!
Why do they make the figures on side walks so it cant possibly line up and look correct?
Frustrating for sure!
Thanks, Carl, I love this!!! Subscribing right now, you've put me in the Christmas village vibe and it's July!!!! :O)
Haha-good deal!! Thanks!!
Thank you so much for the detailed video, Carl! I'll be following these instructions parts of my village this year, though my town "vibe" will be a little more run-down looking. I may have asked elsewhere--does the base layer have to be black?
You’re very welcome! Base layer can be any color you’d like, I found I get the best results with black.
Great video! Can you make one on how you did the road with car tracks for your Christmas Lane display?
Sure will!
Do you have any links or information on the cutting tools and the table cutter? I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you 😊
Hi there-Google Hot Wire Foam Factory and search Amazon for Proxxon
@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl Found them all! Thank you. When you cut your stairs how wide is the knife that you used? I’m looking at tool kits both on Amazon and the hot wire website.
Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason that you chose the Proxxon versus the hot wire table?
What engraving tool do you use?
Please
I’m thinking about what you use to carve the bricks in the walls
