Monster Mash Scroll Saw Challenge

[Travis]

"We did the Mash!  The Monster Mash!"

This is my favorite scroll saw challenge...the Halloween Challenge!  This year's theme is Monster Mash!  Share your monster and spooky Halloween projects!  From movie monsters, cartoon monsters, or things that are creepy and go bump in the night.  Anything Halloween related goes!  I can't wait to see your monstrous projects!

Are you looking for a project?  Here are 3 in the Project Workshop that might scratch that creepy crawly itch!

Been a while since I cut anything monster/horror-related (I do have a couple printed out and in the to-cut stack), due to some on-going family crises, but here's a couple I've done over the years.  These usually hang around our office area at work during October.

Halloween projects/decorations are great fun!

I have made several of these skeletons. My grandson loves them.

Simple and easy ghosts.

Halloween?  We never do anything for Halloween anymore.  We live out in the country, and since all the kids on our little private road have grown up and left, we have no trick or treaters at all.  Pretty sad, but such is life. I looked, I have only made on thing in my life related to Halloween.  I made a pen for a Halloween pen contest.  I did use the scroll saw to cut out the bats. The blank. is made from black pvc pipe,  there were two halves to make up the blank, so the bats are in different locations on each side.

I almost hate to throw my hat into the ring with such awesome projects. My little ole skull pales in comparison to you guys. Here it is anyway though.

Recently made some Jack-o-lanterns, the others are from past Halloween's.

Scroll saw or not, that is very clever!

[Oldmansbike]

Made these for my wife yesterday 

[James E. Welch]

Does this count ? I'll answer my own question, it's not scroll saw related so that's a big NO! LOL 

It's kind of Halloween related though. 

[preprius]

so this is the wood dust overseer spirit.

Setting next to the dust collector.

Thats what we'll go with sounds like a great idea.

Skeleton Cat.

A pattern from the Scroll saw Workshop which I did slightly differently.

The cat is cut from a 1/4 inch Bamboo chopping board then sprayed black. To cut the skeleton I used a very fine drill for the blade entry holes then cut out each piece and painted them white.

The pieces were then carefully glued back into place and because the cat does not have a backing board the skeleton can be seen from both sides.

Happy Halloween everyone !

Regards, Alan.

A few more:  I did a before and after painting picture.
