I built myself a Sleepy Hollow type scarecrow. Not quite as scary, creepy, spooky as the one in the Johnny Depp movie, but in my opinion, not too shabby. It's amazing what you can do with some PVC pipe and fittings, old burlap bags, white duct tape and a fake carveable pumpkin.

The front view..and...

...the rear view. Mr. Scarecrow is quite spiffy in his burlap clothes...he even has a cape.

I  had the hands last year...had them sticking out of the works of my piano. I think they are doing much better service here, lol.
