[@karans3307]

This looks too easy for the visual punch it gives. Thank you. Great job!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

You’re welcome

Cletus is one lucky little guy. My mother-in-law was fond of saying "No good deed goes unpunished". I love the tutorial - the 3D effect is amazing.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thanks for watching

[@teresashewell7105]

What a perfect idea for hiding rebar!!! I feel like I need to do this to all my existing tombstones!!🪦

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

@@teresashewell7105 yesss

[@soularwave]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIYI love your rebar trick. I watched a million tombstone videos and the best idea is the pvc pipe and rebar combo.

[@melissaavendano7354]

What a great idea!!! Love the final look and you make it look so easy!!! 💙🎃

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much!!

Thank you for your inspiration, we love your projects, best regards from Germany

[@moez1774]

Another great tutorial! Looks good

[@joemanfredi6267]

For better access, you can use hidden hinges on the back with plexiglass. You can still paint etc the back but have full access to the inners if needed

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Love this tip!

[@mikec2810]

Great project Isaac! Hope you’re ok from the snake bite! Good luck with your book!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

@@mikec2810 Thank you so much ! all is well

[@Lady_of_Ishpeming]

I love this! You're always full of inspiration ✨️ I always fully enjoy your videos and the craftsmanship you put into your pieces. Something you might try: I don't know if it would work, but I was thinking for the back piece, you could use strong magnets to hold it in place just in case something goes wrong with the lights. Another option might be to make a frame so that it slides into place from the bottom and use something to lock it in place so it doesn't slip. I would love to know if you try these suggestions and whether or not they worked for you. Happy building!❤

[@dianeladico1769]

I was thinking J-channel on the top and sides and slide the foam up from the bottom.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

That’s a great tip!

[@soularwave]

@@dianeladico1769is there an example of this online, even a drawing? Trying to understand what this even means 😅

[@Lady_of_Ishpeming]

@IsaacAlexanderDIY Do you have a video on an animatronic coffin ⚰️? I'd like to see one that shakes, opens, and a skeleton pops up. That would be great! ❤️

Thank you kindly!

[@GregoryHaynes]

Great job Isaac! LED lettering and cracks stands out SO much! That was such a big Black Racer (what we call them in Northern FL)! They eat the venomous snakes! Glad you're OK!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much Gregory! It was a big one indeed!

[@LogCabinNick]

I love that it looks great in both daylight and spooky night light! 😍 Cletus thought so, too! 😜

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Haha Cletus loved it

[@andreholland4429]

Awesome!

Esta lápida🪦 y el cascanueces calabaza🎃 han sido mis proyectos favoritos de esta temporada, tienes una gran creatividad! La 🐍no te hizo daño?

Me alegra mucho que te encanten la lápida y la calabaza. La mordida de la serpiente no me dolió mucho, me asustó más que nada. 😂

Love the LED Tombstone. and with lights is perfect.. simple build and effecting.. very nice details and glad you used wood for the box and then foam that is perfect idea.. thank you again for another fantastic project.. gosh.. Love the tutorial and ideas.. still taking notes..hope you don't mind..! 😨😳Crikey.. ouch Isaac.. Cletus was in a mood and eeeh.. hope you are ok, after that bite gosh.. seeing the snake and the bite I freaked.. wow. good thing not venomous ouff. Again amazing project and just saying, I would have screamed if I saw that snake.. eeh aaaha oouuiii lol 😱😊👌

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Glad you loved the tombstone. Cletus was definitely being feisty that day.

im just a sucker for a lil moss effect. every time!! the ghouls gonna have a disco to the LED's haha

[@soularwave]

Hey there Isaac, do we need a back panel if nobody will be going behind the tombstone? Just for weatherproofing? I’m considering attaching one with a hinge so I can replace or fix LED lights if necessary. Thanks for another awesome tutorial!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

If nobody can see the back back then the back panel isn’t necessary

[@kathleensnyder7784]

Thank you for using the half-inch foam. Thicker foam has gotten so expensive: $60 for a 4x8 2” board. I’d love to see more using less expensive materials.

[@susanowen1709]

I am not an expert, but I'm pretty sure you're supposed to hold a snake just behind the head so it can't whip round & bite you. Nice effect with the LEDs and the 3D lettering. I'd want to rough up the edges of the tombstone a bit where they meet the expanding foam to make them look more worn/eroded, but of course that's just personal preference. Good video, too - clear instructions, and a great view of what you were doing without your hands getting in the way or the camera going out of focus. Thanks for sharing!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Glad you enjoyed 😊

[@shabbybeauties58]

THIS IS AMAZING!!! LOVE YOUR WORK!!! Not too crazy about the snake 🐍, I don’t like them…..lol. Glad you’re ok and that he wasn’t venomous! 🙏❤️🥰😎

[@meloneeleddington7664]

Very cool, I love this idea of a light up tombstone. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before. Very creative. I can't believe the snake at the end. I would of been running for my life. He bit you too. Very lucky it wasn't a venomous snake. You are very brave. The children's books you write are very cute. Do you have kids? I saw you had a baby with you at the end of your last video. I wasn't sure if it was yours or a family members child. Anyway you would make a fun dad if you aren't one already. Take care and have a great falloween season. Keep up the great work and videos. 🧡🤎💛🍁🍂🎃

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked the light-up tombstone-it's always fun to come up with something unique. And yeah, that snake was a bit of a surprise! Thankfully, it wasn’t venomous, but it definitely made for an exciting moment. As for the children’s books, I’m glad you think they’re cute! I actually don’t have kids myself. The baby you saw in my last video was my niece. I love spending time with her and all my nieces and nephews! Thanks again for the kind words and support! I hope you have a fantastic Halloween season too.

Isaac, just an idea that I use that may work for you as well. I use translucent sheets out of flat screen tv's when doing led work. It works fantastic. Great job on this project. Huge props for how you handled Cletus as well. Multiple snake owner here 😂

Great project looks great, your attention to details is the key here. Now this is NOT a criticism, I say this just for your edification just so you know. When displaying the Flag of the United States of America and it is not mounted to a staff or pole, the star field must always be in the upper left hand corner when viewed from the main viewing position. Again, I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just thought you would like to know.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I’m glad you like the project. And I’m glad you know the proper flag code. But my flag is facing the right direction, it’s just at the video is inverted. I was using the front facing camera versus the back facing camera on my iPhone so if you look at my other videos, you’ll notice that sometimes the flag is on the left with the door being on the right. ☺️🇺🇸
