These are fantastic. Unusual shapes and hilarious epitaphs for the Hollywood line up of characters. The scale is refreshing as often the tombstones are too small . This size is great to add with smaller sizes creating a layered look. I also enjoy the color variations. I have done a mix of more white stones and others more grey. Fun, fun.

Nice looking stone! It's better to create two layers with the foam and cut out channels on the inside for the PVC. Glue the layers together with the PVC on the inside. I have seen wind rip the stone off of the pipe when it is just attached like this. Not only is it more secure, but it also completely hides how the stone is being held up.

Love your videos! Hey just FYI...run your mic cord under your shirt. You can either put your pack on your back waistband,and run the cord around your hip and up to your neck, or you can run it up your back, and over your shoulder. You can tape it and the neck for strain relief in under the shirt, putting a loop under the tape. That way, it doesn't show, and it doesn't get in the way, or slip like it has in a couple of your vids. It's safer around power tools and heat sources too. Can't wait to see what you create next!

Absolutely incredible!!! You are so talented. Question: the angels and the skull…were they carved as well or as the pieces that were attached to the tombstone?
@IsaacAlexanderDIY
@IsaacAlexanderDIY 2 года назад
Thank you! The cherubs and the skull were attached as accessory pieces after the carving was done but before the paint was applied. Glued them on and painted them while I painted the tombstone. Dryloc paint gives the texture and look of stone or cement once it’s dried so anything you apply to the tombstones will have the same stone-like finish once the Dryloc dries

Hey Isaac, these look great. Does the polystyrene with DryLock and paint over top hold up well throughout October? I'm making a large prop that would ideally be used again for future Halloweens. Any thoughts or suggestions to make sure the sun (and a bit of moisture) won't damage it too much?

IMO using a hotwire to cut them out would probably have been faster & definitely less messy there is one kind that you can bend to make pacific shapes & could be used to carve out the text but you would want to wear a mask &/or do it outside or well ventilated area. A wood/leather burner/soldering iron would also work well for doing the text & any decorating symbols often found on tombstones

That’s a great question. You would think it would be easier and it would be if you didn’t have to glue the paper down. In order to carve the letters, we have to glue the paper first in order to be able to use the Dremel tool to carve them out. It won’t work if the surface is not smooth and flat so unfortunately, the letters have to be carved first before we can age the tombstone with a heat gun.

What tool did you use to cut out the big shapes? A jigsaw or something?

Where did get the angels. I found cake molds, but they're small. Thank you love the videos

Are the angels made with molds? And is the skeleton plastic glued on?

The angels are made out of solid foam, I purchased them like that. I link them in the bio description of the video. The skull is glued on with expanding form. I carved a hole into the grave stone and applied a little bit of expanding foam and inserted the skull

Could you use a Hair dryer on High heat in place of the heat gun?

@IsaacAlexanderDIY 2 года назад
Some hair dryers are hot enough but it would take some time. Others won’t work

Will the paint run if it rains? If so ... Is there a way to prevent this?
@IsaacAlexanderDIY
@IsaacAlexanderDIY 9 месяцев назад
The paint I used is exterior latex paint that I bought at Lowe’s. It is meant for the outdoors and will not run as long as you allow the paint to dry.
