Just found your channel recently and am so amazed by your work. Thanks for all the details. You are an amazing teacher. I hope you will make Xmas villages also in the future. I don’t do Halloween villages but can still learn so much from you.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you so much!

Very nice! I have appropriated my husband's metal ruler to make sure lines are straight! I used the tin foil rolling method for my bricks in my town center. It looks really nice . And I am getting better and better using my proxxon! Thank you for being such a good teacher!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

My pleasure-glad you’re enjoying it!

[@jesseleesmom2003]

Hey Carl, another great tutorial and cool idea. Any tips on how I can build a culdesac on on square of foam for the disney world haunted mansion. Im using your curved road technique as a reference. Thanks again

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thanks! Not really-sounds like you’re on the right path! I’ll likely be doing one later this year also.

I can’t wait to see the next step ! Where did you purchase your fence for proxxon? I have been searching but only found a couple.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Hello and thank you. Believe I bought mine from Facebook marketplace a few years ago. Should be some on there or Etsy.

[@beamer6136]

I placed my order for the 2024 department 56 catalog

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Good deal!

[@lindac419]

I see that you have a wooden “fence” for your proxon cutter. Do you think it works better than the small metal guide/fence that comes with the machine? Where do you buy the wooden fence? Thank you!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Yes, it’s so much better. You can find them on Etsy or facebook marketplace.

[@carishields7834]

Random question what’s the distance from the wire to the back of the proxon im trying to justify the purchase lol wondering how wide of a cut you could make so,some told me 14 inches but I thought I better ask you ..l how wide of a platform could you get out of it hope that makes sense

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Hey there! It is 14”

[@carishields7834]

@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl well, I broke down and ordered one but I couldn’t get the screw off the top. It was put in crooked by the manufacturer so I had to send it back today. My new one should be here tomorrow. Do you know how big of a piece of foam you can cut on this width wise? For a platform I know it’s 14 inches but I don’t expect you could get a 14 inch piece with a straight edge. Don’t know how you would do that with the fence. Although my father in law has a lathe I’m sure he could make me something to extend that arm out so I could slide a wider board there all sorts of things running through my brain Anyways, if you’d let me know how big of a piece of foam you can get in that back portion to get a platform out of it, I would appreciate it
