Just found your channel recently and am so amazed by your work. Thanks for all the details. You are an amazing teacher. I hope you will make Xmas villages also in the future. I don’t do Halloween villages but can still learn so much from you.
Very nice! I have appropriated my husband's metal ruler to make sure lines are straight! I used the tin foil rolling method for my bricks in my town center. It looks really nice . And I am getting better and better using my proxxon! Thank you for being such a good teacher!
Hey Carl, another great tutorial and cool idea. Any tips on how I can build a culdesac on on square of foam for the disney world haunted mansion. Im using your curved road technique as a reference. Thanks again
I see that you have a wooden “fence” for your proxon cutter. Do you think it works better than the small metal guide/fence that comes with the machine? Where do you buy the wooden fence? Thank you!
Random question what’s the distance from the wire to the back of the proxon im trying to justify the purchase lol wondering how wide of a cut you could make so,some told me 14 inches but I thought I better ask you ..l how wide of a platform could you get out of it hope that makes sense
@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl well, I broke down and ordered one but I couldn’t get the screw off the top. It was put in crooked by the manufacturer so I had to send it back today. My new one should be here tomorrow. Do you know how big of a piece of foam you can cut on this width wise? For a platform I know it’s 14 inches but I don’t expect you could get a 14 inch piece with a straight edge. Don’t know how you would do that with the fence. Although my father in law has a lathe I’m sure he could make me something to extend that arm out so I could slide a wider board there all sorts of things running through my brain Anyways, if you’d let me know how big of a piece of foam you can get in that back portion to get a platform out of it, I would appreciate it

Thanks! Not really-sounds like you’re on the right path! I’ll likely be doing one later this year also.
I can’t wait to see the next step ! Where did you purchase your fence for proxxon? I have been searching but only found a couple.
Hello and thank you. Believe I bought mine from Facebook marketplace a few years ago. Should be some on there or Etsy.
I placed my order for the 2024 department 56 catalog
Good deal!

Yes, it’s so much better. You can find them on Etsy or facebook marketplace.
