Amazin' Vaughn. But yech what a mess it must've been.

I really like how it looks with the lights out.

Ned Bulken · Oct 31, 2010

so how many rpm did you crank it up to? and was it 'wobbly' as all get out?

Vaughn McMillan · Oct 31, 2010

Thanks, all. It was fun.

It really wasn't very messy. I kept the speed down around 300 - 350 rpm, so it didn't sling pumpkin curlies around the shop. A bit of plastic kept the wet stuff off the bed of the lathe, and the rest just fell at my feet.

It wasn't wobbly in the chuck, but it was a bit off-center most of the time. Pretty easy still to take light cuts.

Here's what a real woodcarver can do with a pumpkin. This was done by my buddy Jeff a few years ago...
