Jack - Post updated

[flarud]

I was on vacation last week and still have a couple of days left before heading back to work.  Decided to make some more jack-o-lanterns.  I made some 3 sides, rather large ones several years ago, but I kept finding myself watching Travis' video tutorial on his versions and decided to make some smaller ones.  I just made one today to see how everything went and will make more over the next day or so.  I used some old Cedar fence boards that I kept after a hurricane knocked down my fence a few years ago... Oh, side story.... I needed to change the blades on my planer before sending anymore boards thru it.  So yesterday I took it all apart and reversed the blades and cleaned/lubed everything up.. looks and operates like brand new!             Back to Jack...  I had some orange paint that I thinned out a little so that the grain and torch marks would show.  I just need to order me some LED's to finish it.  

 

I made another one of these jack-o-lanterns and received some lights that I ordered.  In a couple of the pics I have just some regular tea lights in the bottoms.  Another pic I have the LED light strand that I ordered,, I like both lights but the LED's can flash a variety of ways.

I found them on Pinterest.  There are tons of them, just do a search.

Thanks Dick.  The wife decorated for fall yesterday and set all 5 of these out on the front porch railing.
