Start with a cedar fence picket and leave with your own handmade, lighted wooden Jack-O’-Lantern!
Join us at Delmarva Makerspace for a hands-on woodworking Make & Take where you’ll actually build your Jack-O’-Lantern from the lumber up. No previous woodworking experience is necessary – we’ll guide you through the process and introduce you to the tools you’ll be using along the way.

Select your own cedar fence picket and lay out the pieces for your lantern.
Measure & cut your project
After safety and tool-use instruction, you’ll cut the cedar pieces needed to build your lantern.
Choose your face
Pick your favorite Jack-O’-Lantern face from our selection of designs.
Watch the CNC bring it to life
See the Makerspace CNC router carve your selected face into your lantern.
Assemble your lantern
After pneumatic-tool safety instruction, you’ll use our tools to assemble your project.
Light it up!
Your project includes a battery-powered LED light so your Jack-O’-Lantern is ready to display when you get home.
