DIY Wooden Pumpkins for Halloween and Fall | Money Making Project

- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Welcome back! It's Fall and I felt like making some pumpkins. These pumpkins are made from cedar fence pickets! If you didn't know - cedar fence pickets are cheap. You can pick one board up for around 4 dollars. From one fence picket you can make two sets of these fun pumpkins (6 pumpkins total). I sold each set of pumpkins for $25.

Maybe it's just me, but based on how poorly hot glue responds to temperature extremes and rapid temp changes, I'd be using wood glue (& maybe pop in a cpl brad nails...if I had a pneumatic nailer! haha), especially if these are going to be used as porch sitters. It gets cold where I am, though, so perhaps less of a problem for fall decor in the south.
Actually I'm making a batch right now for this next craft show and that's a good point I'm going to stop using hot glue on some of the crafts I do because of that thanks for watching
Awesome video. Curious Pine Picket fence is another good option. Cedar pickets aren’t easy to find in my area (Rhode island)
@@jeffmath2411 yeah the pine would probably be a little cheaper too where I'm at it was cedar or treated I didn't see any pine that weren't treated but thanks for watching
Good idea (the folding option). Makes storage very simple
Thanks 😊
I did enjoy making this pumpkins but I used router for notches.
There's many ways and that seems like a better way 😆
Great idea!
Thanks 😊
Looks good , I love them 😍
Thanks 😊
Good video and job thx for sharing enjoyed it
Thanks for watching I was trying to remove some music from my videos What do you think Is it easier to follow without the music?
@@CraftedbyRay yes
Good Video. Videos without music are better.
Thank you 😊
Hi thank you
Hi your welcome 🙂
Would it be easier to mortiser to cut the square end.
Possibly, I just went with the way that I've been making it before. And that's how I did but thanks for watching.🙂
I just love your pumpkins. How can you cut the notch if you don’t have a band saw and also what are the dimensions for the notches?
You could always do it on a router, table or table. Saw are even a Jigsaw. Thanks for watching the video now. The dimensions I just split the 2 parts in half and figured out where the middle is. After I do that, I just try to make it so that the tops and bottoms are flush. It takes a few tries and then I use one to trace the rest out.
Is there a template?
Were these fence pickets pressure treated ? Also are they 4 or 6in wide ?
No not treated and 6in wide
What stain did you get? My wife couldn’t find stain at HD and grabbed a can of paint
I could not find it at home depot I went to lowe's
That was the only place I could find taintable stains it's like Fiesta orange
You could just do a wash with thinned paint instead. Or paint it & distress it. Or layer paint colors and distress with sander. 🤷♀ It doesn't have to be orange stain. (Also, there are many varietals of pumpkins in many different colors. These don't even have to be orange.)
*How far down did you cut channel?*
Just slightly more than half of the material so that it got a nice fit and gravity can hold it together if you don't do more than half then it'll be a little too high and the top won't be flat

*10-4, Thank you for the Tips!!! Nice Build!!! I’m going to give it a Try.*
@Ricks2Cents It's something I make every year now I'm going to bash them out today cuz I have a craft show in a couple of weeks I think I'm going to make 30 of them

*If you cut them on a Laser or CNC you*
*Should be able to match them out Really Fast!!!*
My experience the laser and the cnc just makes things a lot slower maybe the first one but it would be faster to use a bandsaw to cut the notches because setting up on a CNC takes a lot of clamps and making sure you don't run into the clamps and it would take a powerful laser to cut through half inch cedar fence pickets
How do you like the WEN Bandsaw? I just purchased the 16" Scroll Saw
I use the bandsaw a lot and no problem I like it a lot
Having trouble with mine. Think a new blade will help
how deep do you cut the notches?
It was half the thickness of the next one so that they interlocked I can't quite remember the size
Curious how much did you sell that set?
@@chuckgarrett5789 I sold out at $15.00 a set I'm not sure if I want a little too low but I feel like it was a good profit
How deep is the notch
It is about half If you're a little over As long as you're on the flat surface it'll be OK
