I made this video 10 years ago, I have no idea what I used for it. I most likely bought them at Home Depot.

@FunWithWoodworking I didn't notice that 😀. I am not much of a plumber but I think I figured out the fittings last night. Great video, thanks for sharing and replying.

This information is going to help me figure out what those numbers should be.

Thank you very much!

What kind of card is it?

Thank you for your excellent advice.

Noted!

I got the message. Your design looks pretty cool!

I hear what you're saying but I don't want to be the Coffin Lantern guy forever. They are fun to make this year but next year I want to start on something new. Thank you for the thoughtful comment though.

@@FunWithWoodworking I don't know. Calling it "your idea" is pretty broad anyway. It's a silhouette box in the shape of a coffin. My grandfather made silhouette boxes at Halloween and Christmas with his scroll saw. They were all kinds of shapes and the figures/shapes for the cutouts were all his own drawings (not to say yours aren't). Don't think he ever did a coffin one though. But he got his idea from other craft products from years and years even before him that do the same thing. Silhouettes on an actual lantern, silhouettes on boxes like the jack-o-lantern thing you did before this. The idea is everywhere you just made a super cool one, with your spin on it, used the laser, and made it that much more marketable. It's very cool what you did but to coin it as "your idea"... I don't know. I'd say more, "My spin on..." But still... for your business you're doing the absolute right thing. Create something nobody else is doing at the moment especially in the laser world, KZbin it, use your subscriber count to your advantage, sell your files/plans, and there you go. It really doesn't matter if you own the idea at this point. Not sure this commenter realizes you're probably going to make way more on selling the files than selling the boxes. I created a 3D Printed bobble head ghost, I want to sell the STL files for, that is super cool (not terribly unique) but I don't have any followers nor do I have any knowledge or time to try and market it. Anyway, I subscribed. You got cool vids.

It's a giant pain in the butt. You have to grab one of the rectangles from an area, let's say the 4 for one of the long pieces on the sides. You then have to figure out the angle that it is at and rotate it until it is 90° to your screen. You then make it taller, but not longer. You then rotate it to match what it used to be and replace it in the exact center of each of the 4 cut-outs for that piece. Rinse and repeat for all of the other side pieces. You also might have to make the pieces slightly shorter because they are now thicker and may run into each other. I would resize the holes first and then cut out a test lantern. If it doesn't fit then make the pieces shorter without changing the size of the cutouts or tabs.

@@FunWithWoodworking I got it figured out, interesting; only the top and bottom pieces had to be trimmed by the 2mm on each side due to the increased width of the plywood. Thanks for responding.

@@DavidJohnson-sv7mg That's good to know, thanks for the update!

How about paneling…that’s what it looks like. Good old fashioned paneling.

@markb8954 Well then he should have called it that then. The material difference matters especially in laser cutting and engraving. Glad I didn't subscribe, info is faulty.

I stand by my statement. It is MDF.

@@RobertNewsome If you look at 02:04 he is tossing the pieces onto the work bench it is definitely MDF veneered on one side. Like the stuff you can get from danube building materials

I got the pattern here: funwithwoodworking.com/product-category/cnc-laser-files/

Thank you. I have found that for 3mm MDF 400 mm/m at 100% power with air assist on seems to work the best.

I applied to do a local craft fair in December with my son. If we get accepted we will be making some kind of Christmas lanterns along with other projects.

@@FunWithWoodworking Have a set of lanterns with sleigh and reindeer across them. Or a grove of mixed evergreens.

They are made out of 1/8” MDF or 3mm.

Not directly. It just kind of gets the overspray from the front. I thought about pre-finishing the inside but I’m not sure that the glue would hold as well.

Where do you find 4x8 sheets of MDF ?

It's not "MDF" as we are thinking. I believe he's using Luan sheets which do cone in 4x8. Lol semantics, MDF/Luan same same And what the hell is a "lumber fee" he must be in a free state.

They are LED tea lights that I bought off of Amazon a couple of years ago for the old Jack O Lantern boxes. Now that you mention it, I need to add them to my spreadsheet.

I have 6 designs and anybody who asks about multiples, I do tell them 5 for $100. I have sold a total of 7 lanterns so far and 1 set of the complete digital design files on my website. Thanks for watching!

I’m hoping to start a new trend for this Halloween season.

Thank you so much!

I made some the same year that I made these and nobody was interested in them. I'm going to try making some laser cut ones this year that look more refined.

Thank you for caring.

I would imagine so.

You can find all of that information on my website: funwithwoodworking.com/product/coffin-shaped-shelf-unit/

That's awesome! I'm still using mine as well to hold my bandsaw.
