Fall is here, and the pumpkins and hay bales gracing the front porches of your town may have you in the mood to carve up a jack o’ lantern of your own. Why not weld one, or something like it? For welders of all skill levels, fall is another occasion to put their welding creativity to work. This is why, here at Bakers, our employees and writers have created several spooky and festive welding project ideas which will inspire you to create something seasonal and fun.

Plasma Cutter Pumpkins Welding Project
If you’ve got a plasma cutter, then Halloween projects are easy as pie… pumpkin pie of course. As your family gets ready to carve pumpkins, you can carve one of your own using an old propane tank. Start by cleaning and emptying it thoroughly to minimize risk, then cut the top off so you have a place to put your candle or light. Use your plasma cutter to make a face on your “pumpkin” and finish off by grinding down sharp edges or spray painting it orange, of course.
Corrugated Metal Ghosts Welding Project
Add some spooky to your front yard with these easy and amazing scrap metal ghosts. Cut corrugated metal in the shape of a ghost and then use your plasma cutter to give them spooky faces. These are ideal in sets of three and look best when spray painted white before calling them done. It’s best to grind down the edges to make them safe for curious trick or treaters. As a side note, these have proven extremely popular in boo-tiques and could easily net you a little extra holiday income.
We hope we’ve inspired you to use your welding skills to give your family and friends a more festive fall. You never know where your welding skills may come in handy. One Dad we know actually welded a portion of his Dracula costume when he was a kid!
