New for 2007

I've been in search of this prop for a couple years now and finally decided to make my own. For those who consider lawn jockeys a racial insult, I encourage you to read about them in wikipedia before sending me a nasty email. Anyway, I got the idea from a window cling I purchased many years ago. I purchased the perfect lantern a couple years ago.

Got this 13"x13"x3½" wooden wine box with handle at thrift store for $1.50. Drilled 4 holes - Two ¼" holes for support rod through both top and bottom of box. Two smaller holes for attaching feet just in top of box.	This is the lamp I already had
Foot with screw attaching to box	Purchased one ¼"x48" metal pole Had the store cut it in half using a chain cutter so I had two 2ft lengths. Drilled ¼" hole in bottom of spine of skeleton and inserted one end in skeleton.
Purchased 35" realistic skeleton from Walmart for $10. Here is the skeleton and support rods on the box. Rods got all the way through box and will extend approx. 3" into the ground. Plan to mount a wood block on top of foreground rod to support lantern weight. I plan to weight box down with a brick inside.
