Halloweenex! Make a Festool-themed pumpkin and win a prize!

[Administrator_JSVN]

Halloweenex, as it would be called if it was a Festool holiday, is upon us and I thought this would be a fun thing to do. Just post a photo of your Festool themed pumpkin and automatically get your choice of a Festool t-shirt or hat. Festool employees will choose a grand prize winner from the entries who will receive a 48" Festool level. So, submit your best Fest-oo-lantern!

PS - Feel free to roll your eyes. It's just for fun people.

Sounds like fun, but I lack the creativity gene.

Fabulous idea!  [thumbs up]

Of course those in other places who have the Carvex can't play.  I guess they would have had an advantage.  [ban]

Unfortunately for me I have a bunch of ideas  [sad]  [crying]

But it is  great contest idea. Should be fun to see the pumpkins.

I would see a Fein would be best tool to use to cut and carve a pumpkin!

ROFL, thanks for the laugh Brice. I needed it. I have to admit I didn't see that one coming. Needless to say, as the conductor of this contest, I disqualify your entry.  [tongue]

Brice,

The rules specifically state that the pumpkin must be carved - so maybe you need to resubmit your creation per the guidelines?

Who wants to attempt doing this with a CNC water jet or maybe more traditional carving methods using woodworking tools?

I am using a jig saw, but if I get my cnc machine moved and rebuilt in time I will toss one on there. It would have to be a smaller pumpkin or I would have to rig up a pretty huge rotational 4th axis!

Lee Valley sells a nice pumpkin carving tool kit

I used my jig saw the last two years.
