Each Halloween season, when the Greenwood Reaper inhabits my yard, people ask me “How did you make it?” and “What is it made from?”.
Since I’m making a bigger and better reaper I figured I’d make this blog to answer those questions. This is also a way for interested parties to ask questions and see the progress of the project.
The only regular time I spend building is on the week-ends, so it’s likely posts will appear early in the week.
The posts appear with the newest on top, so if you're new to the sight scroll to the bottom to read the beginning.
Enjoy.

Attaching the lamp
Not really rocket science here... using a cheap landscape lighting kit I hooked up 4 of the lights (16 total watts) inside of the lamp, attached a loop of 5/16th steel rod for the handle and hooked up the wire that was inside of the right arm.
:) So, this past weekend I was visiting Seattle (my first visit so far,) ...and just happened upon your AMAZING Reaper! Can I just tell you, this is the greatest thing EVER!!! I love it!
Had to come by your blog and say hi and cheers to you from Califorina!!!! :) Great work, and have an awesome Halloween this year!
Abandon as a child in the Andes, Jason was raised by wolves. After being discovered by a group of rogue entomologists he was assimilated back into society at the age of 7. As a ward of the state Jason quickly learned the art of lock-picking, safe-cracking, kid-napping and several other hyphenated yet nefarious skills. Once he had amassed a king’s ransom in ill-gotten loot he realized the error of his ways and donated is fortune to The Preservation of the Eighties Society and joined the circus as a trapeze artist.
On the night of August 16th 1999 Jason and his Supermodel/Astrophysicists/conjoined-twin wife, Esmeralda, attempted the once-thought-impossible ‘Septuple Wilenda’.
They failed.
Unable to overcome the tragedy Jason left the circus and moved to Seattle where he now builds full-scale models of dwarf stars.
