Crematorium Door Prop for Your Haunt!

[@ahWorkShop]

I'm thinking I'll add this but make it so the door is partially open with a flickering flame light behind so it looks like you have a working cremation furnace.

[@VanOaksProps]

Great idea

[@chrisnorcross618]

Awesome idea!

[@munkustrap2]

​@@VanOaksProps That really is a great idea. Unless it's bad form I think that'd make a great video. I'd love to see how you'd do it.

[@LasVegasHaunts]

Add a small viewing port door in the top 1/3 section. gave that open with a flickering light behind. Also smoke damage should come out the top of the door ( hot air rises)

[@Craftlngo]

it would even increase the effect if you include one of these hands grabbing around a door that you can find on thingyverse or other sites

[@quixoticjedi942]

Would make a great rusty old safe.

[@VanOaksProps]

I hadn't even considered that, but you're absolutely right!

[@BoxTruckVagabond]

I have to say, you are one of the few KZbinrs that has a voice I truly enjoy listening to. Not only that, but I love your techniques. I'm wanting to make faux iron beams for a ceiling and just learned how!! Thanks so much and I'm starting a binge watch session!!

[@VanOaksProps]

Thank you! 😊

[@SummersideDiver]

Love this! I could totally see it with smoke (or fog) rising from an attached chimney. And maybe some bloody fingerprints wrapped around the door edge from inside.

[@ScareHollow]

Love the paint can weights!! Glad I'm not the only one!

[@davidquerry8869]

I have tried this undercoat trick, and love it. Great texture and hides wood grains.

[@VanOaksProps]

Great to hear!

[@munkustrap2]

You make things look so easy to do. You inspire the most novice of us...thank you!

[@VanOaksProps]

You are so welcome!

[@Capohanf1]

Wouldn't there ALSO be smoke/fire damage on the top of the door? Also what about a founders logo on the front in the "cast Iron" ie. Vanoaks Metal Works, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, Est. 1776?

[@sweetbee52]

Sweet! Love the textured spray much better looking than using hammered spray paint. Have to buy a can of that (don’t know what I’ll use it on) but I’ll be ready. 👍🏻❤️

[@TroyB-sp5eq]

The rubber spray lets you get creative on what you can use for your base , sorta a cheat code in the maker world. Thanks for the video.

[@GCubedProductions]

I like the addition of colored lights to add more depth to your talking head background. Very cool you’re tinkering with something so simple to keep making it better.

[@JudiChristopher]

WOW As Always... FANTASTIC and AMAZING

[@VanOaksProps]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ashleya8532]

Looks amazing! I love how much detail you put into these! Thank you for sharing!

[@VanOaksProps]

You are so welcome!

[@creatorsunionSVERDLOVSK]

for rust you can add a little bit of sand. And spray paint it. It would look more rusty. At this point door and all hinges looks brand new. They need some imperfections.

[@rudedog6868]

Great job! Your channel inspires me to create and add to my haunt!

[@VanOaksProps]

That is awesome!

[@FabWorks80]

Sweet mother that looks amazing!!! Never heard of that glue and activator for foam... I defiantly need to try it. Thank you Derek for sharing this with us, killer work as always bro!!!

[@VanOaksProps]

Thanks!!

[@chubstuff1954]

Thanks bunches for all you do. It's always appreciated when you add a video like this to the mix. Sure, I enjoy the ones where things are created from your 3-D printers, but only the finishing techniques will ever be used in my prop making. When you create a prop from stuff I can afford to cobble together from free and inexpensive stuff, then that's a prop I can transfer almost directly to my haunt. I'm working on metal doors even as we speak, and the hinges and door bolts will become a part of what I'm doing. :) Thanks again.

[@VanOaksProps]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching!

[@GregPackard]

Great video! Thanks for a project that doesn’t require a 3D printer or laser cutter…;)

[@VanOaksProps]

Plus it uses scraps! haha

[@munkustrap2]

I have to second OP. My favorite (& saved) videos are ones that don't require either of those.

[@VanOaksProps]

I hear you and appreciate where you're coming from. Honestly, most of these projects don't require those tools - they just require the time to build them differently, which is something I don't always have.

[@beckymurphy4714]

I agree. I have a limited "fun stuff" budget, and I appreciate builders (costume or props) who produce videos for things that don't require expensive equipment. Sadly many of the channels I subscribed to because they were "build this on a budget" types are now moving into doing things with 3D printers and laser cutters. (And before anyone in the comments suggests it - there is nowhere near me with a "maker lab" where I could print/cut things for myself, nor can I afford to commission someone.)

[@diyfireking]

I appreciate your talent 👍👍

[@PropGuru702]

As always a fantastic easy to follow and understand tutorial D. As someone who does this for a living and severely lacks the time to film this sort of content, it's very helpful when I get questions about various methods because i know if i send them any of your videos to watch I am confident they will learn from someone who is skilled, thorough, and enjoyable to watch 👍🏻 much love D!

[@VanOaksProps]

Many thanks!

[@joiningamovement3379]

I have to say it, you sound just like Casey Kasem to me. Your videos are awesome! Love the channel and the methodical instruction helps to learn some new prop making tips. 👍

[@VanOaksProps]

It's funny because I don't think I sound like him in regular conversation, but I absolutely hear it in the videos. Thanks for watching!

[@ronmicheals8329]

It looks so real. 🎉

[@vivienschipplock4029]

Omg I’ve only just found you and your amazing 😮I just watched your faux wood beam oh wow I couldn’t believe it.. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos and how you are an awesome teacher too.. thank you soo much all the way from Australia 🇦🇺.. you have so much talent 👌🙌👍 😍

[@VanOaksProps]

Welcome and thanks so much for the kind words!

[@jmbstudio314]

Have the perfect spot for this! Thanks!

[@josephelliott4117]

Now this was amazing brother....

[@VanOaksProps]

Thanks!

[@alexgibson4782]

I don't have any experience with crematoriums but on wood stoves the smoke usually leaves dark patches around the top of the door not the bottom.

[@VanOaksProps]

Doh! You’re right. I was focused on finishing and not the detail. I suppose it could come from both? 😂

[@colemyst]

Very nice. It looks so real.

[@stephannieschapiro1816]

Awesome as always!

[@kurtkyre]

Top shelf job!

[@VanOaksProps]

Thank you!

[@jane.c.c]

I bought 2 small vintage coal shuttle doors in iron from an antiques market. One was plain like yours & 1 had a beautiful decoration. My hubby cemented them onto our bricked columns. Then we had to sell the house and leave them there. Lately I've been thinking about them and considering making them for pretend like you. It's weird, this is the 2nd project you've done what was in my mind to do too. The other was the old telephone which I dubbed the Molls phone. 😁 btw watch you don't hurt your back. Looks so heavy 🤣

[@torsloke]

Wow! This one got the creative juices flowing. The last several years we’ve focused on the outside decor, but now I’m working on concepts for inside. One idea I’ve had is to make fake doors outside our guest room and office doors with effects incorporated. This build of yours would work great extended to a full door, where a monster or insane asylum prisoner were locked up, with a prop motor to rattle it randomly. Or even make the whole hatch door out of EVA, and then have a hand or head pressing through it from behind. [Me stroking my beard, awash in thoughts…] Thanks as always for the inspirations and techniques. Only five months to Halloween!

[@peterheynen]

Hi Derick, wow, another fantastic piece of work! It looks simply sensational. I've learned a lot again, simply brilliant techniques. However, I'm going to do something other than a crematorium door, because in Germany I would get a huge shitstorm for that.

[@VanOaksProps]

Thank you! Maybe a Hansel & Gretel scene? Or Nightmare on Elm Street?

[@peterheynen]

@@VanOaksProps Yes, that would perfect. 🙂Oh, just a few month to go for this wonderful Halloween season 🙂

[@MidnightMaker]

Love all of your builds! Wouldn't the smoke come out of the top of the door?

[@VanOaksProps]

🤦🏻 Yep. It might come from the bottom too since the fire would be lower than the bottom of the door. But it would absolutely be at the top.

[@romainvilleneuve]

hi i pretty like you skills in youre video it so cool

[@gravemarker]

Was it a lack of caulk or another reason you didn’t just fill in the seams of the edging around the door?

[@VanOaksProps]

I didn't mind the seams around the door and didn't think they needed it. Plus it kind of gave it a more handmade look, which helped to play into the idea of an old man-made oven door.

[@ronduarte358]

A pretty kruger room with a furnace

[@horses2by]

Wow it looks so real, maybe a burnt skeleton hand coming out of the door 💀💀

[@603VIL]

Where will this go in your haunt? I'm interested to see how you will place it to sell the realism and to add to your haunt's story.

[@VanOaksProps]

It was just for the video to share with the haunt community.
