A wise old lady once told me "keep it simple, Sweetie". And the bucket buddy is a great, simple but effective prop! Thanks!

These would be great for half-hidden monsters/characters, where you don't need visible legs (such as peering through a window, hiding behind a tombstone, being cooked in a witch's cauldron, standing on the deck of a pirate ship, etc).

You should make a mini elf out of one of those for the off season Christmas event!!!

I recently found you (you were lost..to me). Such cool stuff! So far I've made 3 cemetery statues and now making a few bucket buddies for work. Love Halloween and the people at work look forward to the decor. Thanks so much.

I need to get power tools! This would be great for my 2022 outdoor Hell scene!🤣

You did it again. You never cease to amaze me. Now I can make a small army for Halloween

This is such a great idea. There are so many directions you could go in.

What comes to mind is flying monkey from wizard of Oz

I think with some additions this could make a good gargoyle base

Thank you for sharing this video. My sons steam lab in school ( they give them material and they have the make stuff) project was to make a monster for halloween and this worked out perfectly. We now have a mini Grim Reaper in our mini grave yard (which is what my son made ) and I made the guy from the movie Scream. This is was a great father and son project. Awesome job and thank you
