Halloween is quickly approaching and I wanted to put my spin on the popular lantern decorations. I start with rough sawn cedar fence pickets, cut them down to length, then plane them down to the proper thickness, while also removing the rough surface. The panels are stained black to add to the Halloween motif.
Next, the CNC cuts the pickets out in a variety of Jack-o-Lantern faces. Since I'm using programmable puck lights, I also do a version of the faces where holes are drilled through instead of cut out, which is a nice variation. I cut an area in the bottom for the puck light to stay centered, and a small hole in the lid to help secure the stem which allows the lid to be easily removed. The lantern panels are then cut out and the CNC work is done.
The panels are mixed and matched for variety, glued, sanded, painted, a stem is added and they're ready for lights. We use these programmable puck lights - [ Ссылка ]
