Woodturning - Extreme Pumpkin Carving!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 окт 2021
- With a week to go until Halloween I thought it was important to upload this video on how I recommend you carve your pumpkin this year! Obviously yours will look much better than mine but I decided to go with the basic triangle eyes scary pumpkin look. In all seriousness I just wanted to see what would happen if I put a pumpkin on the lathe, I was half expecting lots of mess and an exploded pumpkin!
I hope you enjoyed this more light hearted fun video. Next weeks will be a lot more serious so don't you hardcore woodturners worry 😁👍

My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I am still relatively new to woodturning and some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest. When using any tools or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines.
Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practise. The gloves I wear are tight fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing.

Lol. Cool but who else was expecting something more "detailed," in art? The title says "Extreme Pumpkin Carving," so........ yeah.
I expected a lot more also. Making a mess with the lathe was cool, but a little patience and a paring knife... well you know
Sorry to hear that you were disappointed, hopefully this years project will be more 'arty' and EXTREME!! 🪵😃👍
@@gonzo2.0 stay tuned for this year Halloween project, it may be more to your taste. 🪵😃👍
@@HarrySmithShorts I know you have the skills
Looking forward to it
🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
I'm amazed you could find such a perfect pumpkin! It was almost perfectly circular with the stem almost perfectly centered. That alone deserves a like.
I wonder how thin the walls of the pumpkin were when he started to remove all the seeds and goop. I'm surprised he didn't go right through.
I was thinking the same thing. Any other imperfect pumpkin never would have worked.
I can't believe that thing didn't fly off the lathe
Thanks Maryanne, it was just from the local store! 🪵😃👍
@@jeffburnham6611 slow and steady Jeff! 🪵😃👍
If you cut pieces from another pumpkin and added them as eyes, mouth, and nose it could be an inverted pumpkin were the head lights up showing the face features better. I would like to see that!
Neat idea, really....
I want to carve a pumpkin now and leave the base and top connected by a think piece from top to bottom and and cut the eyes and stuff out and put them up with toothpicks
Next year!
Great idea 💡
Good idea Greg, let's see what happens this year....... 🪵😃👍
Customer: I'm trying to figure out if this 80 grit would work on my project?
Employee: What are you using in on?
Customer: A pumpkin...
Wet and dry of course ... 🪵😃👍
Very cool! Just a small suggestion - if you cut the hole in the bottom of the pumpkin instead of the top you can still remove the seeds the same but you can then use the stump to pick the whole pumpkin up to light the candle. The top also won’t shrivel up and fall inside the pumpkin. Thank you. I really enjoyed watching this.
FACT!
And wipe it down with a little Vaseline…. makes your Jacks last longer!
Good tip I'll try that next time
@@debbieflaherty1975 I thought lemon juice did that.
@@adamjones-ps,
🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ I’ve never heard of doing that. Inside and/or outside?
I tried your suggestion and it works. 👍
Amazing that it just didn't explode into chunks on the lathe. Very impressive. I imagine that you probably had a number of false starts before you perfected your technique.
A good lathe will let you adjust the RPM and can be set quite low when needed. This would not be one of those times to crank it all the way to the top.
Hi Scootergsp, I actually was very lucky, proceeded very slowly and steady and managed to complete on the first attempt. 🪵😃👍
So we're just gonna ignore the fact he left our boi with a bowl cut? 😭🖐🏻🎃
Bowl cuts? Just say Moe!
Lol 😂😂
It would be funny if Moe people had bowl haircuts. 💇♂️
Pumpkin pie hair-cutted freak...
Pumpkins have poor fashion sense... 😂🤣🪵😃👍
You brought out the 80 grit sandpaper and I absolutely lost it!
Roberta, I wasn't sure if I should have taken it down to 240 grit ... 🤣😂🪵😃👍
Second I saw it was a pumpkin I had to see. I used to professionally carve pumpkins on Halloween.. I haven't planted any for about 3yrs been meaning too.
Just love watching a fellow artist at work. I don't do woodcarving i do landscape and animal art. I'd try wood turning but I fear id loose a finger of two.
Thanks for sharing Natasha ... 🪵😃👍
Orangeheart, unlike it’s extremely hard relative Purple Heart, it is an undeniably soft wood 🤣
Totally agree artful and a wee bit spongy!! 🤣😂🪵😃👍
Hi Harry, I have never seen a Pumpkin on a lathe before. Looks fantastic. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
Thanks Huw, I like to test boundaries, sorry it's so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
Wow, that looks like quite a messy affair in the workshop. Really neat idea.
Yeah I was thinking I wouldn't be suprised if he smells rotting pumpkin in there for quite a while after this since the juice would of course be flying all over the place as well as little bits of the pumpkin that he just can't clean it all up. Best thing I would think to prevent it would be to basically create a little room around him using old or cheap sheets and a drop cloth.
Thanks Jiggsy, luckily I had my best friend to help clean up ... 🐕
@@TheGreatDrake no issues, all pretty easy clean up and my best friend helped ... 🐕
Ok. That was super cool!!! I initially thought oh hell no not with my lathe and chisels.... well done sir!
Thanks very much John! 😊👍
Oooo
Oo
Oooooooo
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Never thought a lathe should be used on pumpkins. So clever.
Thanks for watching! I might have a try more vegetables on it 😂👍
Just because you CAN doesn’t mean you SHOULD.
I’d never try it. Getting all the airborne moisture out would be impossible. I cruddy lathe, maybe, but even then, probably not.
Just because you CAN doesn’t mean you SHOULD.
@@STV-H4H my best friend cleared it up... 🐕. There has been no ill effects to the lathe, workshop or ... the dog.
🪵😃👍
i can smell the pumpkin though the computer lol
Unbelievable! Chapeau!
Thanks Umberto 🪵😃👍
If you get a brush for a drill, it cleans out the inside in seconds. I have never used a rotary tool to carve them before- next year, I’m definitely going to try that!
Thanks Karen, looks like we will both be trying something new this year! 🤣😂 Thanks and sorry the reply is so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
Ooh, you could do stripes. Or a gradient with different depths of flesh removed. Then carve a scene into it.
All good ideas for this year Lily. 🪵😃👍
Hahahaha, I love it! I bet it was a mess to clean up, though! Great for Halloween!
Hello Julee
My first thought was that cleanup was going to be a beast.
@@rcb3921 Yeah I was thinking I wouldn't be suprised if he smells rotting pumpkin in there for quite a while after this since the juice would of course be flying all over the place as well as little bits of the pumpkin that he just can't clean it all up.

Thanks Julee, sorry it's so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
@@rcb3921 surprisingly it was quite quick and easy. Also my dog helped!! 🪵😃👍
Am I the only one waiting for the whole pumpkin to go flying?Ive never had a pumpkin with a strong sturdy stem!
Slow and steady Clacroix..... 🤣😂🪵😃👍
impressive, you can turn anything, no limits.
Thanks John, now there's a challenge!!!!! 🪵😃👍
Finally - A good use for a lathe!
Hahaha Thanks for watching Roger! 👍
Glad I wasn't the one cleaning that mess up lol
It's ok James, I had a willing volunteer, my dog 🐕 😄
Great idea must try it myself for the Great Grand Babies
Thanks Dennis, I'm sure they would find it very amusing .. I couldn't stop laughing 🤣😂🪵😃👍
I learned to take a egg beater and place it in the drill. This makes quick work, saves my back and arm .
Great tip! I once used my girlfriend’s stand mixer to stir paint with. She was pissed.
@@ItsAnSS she'd be pissed about something anyway
@@SoulDelSol Dan, you're so right! I didn't let it bother me too much that she was mad. Hehehe
Angelina thats a great tip. I've used quite a few kitchen ideas to assist in the workshop ... no appreciation though 😕
🪵😃👍
@@ItsAnSScool 😎 👍
Brilliant idea! Xx
Thanks Claire, sorry it's so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
Neat- o !
Thanks Dennis 🪵😃👍
I'd like to see a video on the failure RPM of various fruits, and vegetables. Lol
Now... there's an idea 💡 Not Sure.
🪵😃👍
I did something similar and it molded faster than you could say trick or treat. Also my face looked like a pumpkin when I was done! 😂
🤣😂... thaks Will. 🪵😃👍
Wow! A bumpkin.
Harry Smith is an artist.
Why thank you Margo...🪵😃👍
Oh boy! Serious cleanup for the tools needed!!
Nah green kitty. I had a seriously dedicated helper ... 🐕
🤣😂🪵😃👍
Wow im amazed the force didnt just kick the pumpkin off the lathe. I guess that stem is more sturdy than i thought
You and me both Patrick, I was tensed for impact!! ⛑
🤣😂🪵😃👍
Clever!
Thank you ... 🪵😃👍
Cool projects 👍

Nice carve! Thanks for cleaning the mess up.
Thank you, but my special helper did that ... 🐕

That's pretty interesting!!!

puts in master level craftmen work into the pumkin, -pumpkin "im just going to rot now"
Cheers Ron, pumpkin fun for everyone! Thanks and sorry it's so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
brilliant ! 💕🎃
Thank you Justice 🪵😃👍
As crazy as this is, what really got me was the carbide burr cutter doing the eyes, nose, and mouth.
You obviously take great care to ensure you don't overheat the workpiece. And we all know just how bad pumpkins are at work hardening and tool dulling.
Now I’ve seen it all my life has been fulfilled.
Glad to be of assistance! 🤣😂
🪵😃👍
Dang that is the coolest and easiest way to cut open the top of a pumpkin , the next time i have to cut a pumpkin open I'm gonna find someone that has a lathe hahaha.
Happy to help Joseph 🪵😃👍
Well, Halloween pumpkins are fun for the carver. Good on you dude. I can't help but chuckle though. Our pumpkins are awesome and use much less complicated tools, and provide time with others to enjoy the celebration. Still, happy Halloween 🎃
Martha, it made you chuckle. Then I have succeeded, I wanted to make people laugh and increase the fun of Halloween 🎃 🙃 Don't forget to watch this year!!!
🪵😃👍
Wonderful.
Thank you ... 🪵😃👍
Interesting idea.
It came to me in a dream Arizona! 🪵😃👍
Absolute overkill... I love it
Thank you Noah! 😁👍
Interesting... I like it
Thank you 🪵😃👍
This man is a genius
Thank you! 👍😁

For awhile that pumpkin head looked pissed! You had his head spinning!
🤣😂 very good👍
That would make a hell of a sticky mess around the lathe! .
Luckily I had my favourite helper with me.... 🐕 and he made short work of the clean up !! 🤣😂
That was great 👍
Many thanks Tiger ... 🪵😃👍

1:25 it looks like an orange that’s half-peeled
You're right Hobo, it does! Maybe try an orange next 🤔 🍊

That's awesome LOL
Thank you Rennae ... 🪵😃👍
Better than the way I been carving em’
Thanks Bansheeboy ... 🪵😃👍
Finished product looks good, but seems a mess on the lathe.
How long b4 it deteriorated?
Skin keeps it from deterioriating fast.
Thanks AS, I had my favourite helper to assist in the clean up ... 🐕
I placed the lantern by the front door and it lasted the week.... just...
🪵😃👍
Wow.. this is halloween concept.
Thanks, it certainly is, sorry it's so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
Hmm, I have a wood lathe, might be a good way to peel a pumpkin for pie, well at least the middle. Probably skip the sand paper though.
Richard I agree the sand really puts your teeth on edge 😬
🪵😃👍
“Honey why does the garage smell like pumpkin spice?”
“Uhhhh *candle* “

Cool
Thank you Michelle! 👍

i certainly enjoyed the video, but i certainly wouldnt have enjoyed having to clean up the mess from it lol.....good job man good job
Thanks Moesanrath, I was very lucky to have my best friend helping on the clean up ... 🐕
🪵😃👍
I know I'm late to this one, and this idea may sound nuts but....
Could you remove the guts, fill it with and submerge it in clear resin, and then turn it? Curious to know if the resin would preserve it. Or, you might fill it with a multi-colored resin with flame colors.
It probably wouldn't work, but this is where my head went when I saw you turning this.
Evan and Katelyn have tried (and failed) to preserve pumpkins with resin a couple of times. You should check their videos out!
@@LuccaAce FRANCIS U WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!
If you dip a carved pumpkin in bleach, it will last several weeks without rotting.
I just got a recommendation after this about that
I think it would still rot, as you are not actually preserving the pumpkin flesh ...... 🧟♂️🧟🪦⚰🪓
This is much better than my method of carving pumpkins. Much cleaner and neater, too. Or maybe I'm just using too much gunpowder?
Thanks Ugly George. Gunpowder !! - you are EXTREME ... 🪵😃👍
Pretty cool......
Thank you Chris! 👍
Great idea...looks so effective, thank you for sharing ✨💫🇬🇧🎃
Thanks Angela, sorry it's so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
@@HarrySmithShorts that's okay Harry. 😊
we just carved the pumpkins that we've had since Halloween today lol in the middle of december
Great to hear Ella, what did you make? Sorry it's so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
That ain’t nothing but a great big old mess of pumpkin every where
But I have a secret weapon GameMaster. A super cleaner .... 🐕
🪵😃👍
Extreme is right Harry lol that turned out pretty cool, although I wouldn't want to clean the mess up. Happy Halloween.

At how many RPMs does the pumpkin become frangible?
Is it the turners turn to turn a turnip.
Or any root vegetable George? 🪵😃👍
Good
Thanks Ian ... 🪵😃👍
Hahaha 🤣 hilarious but also clever
Thanks Joshua and sorry the reply is so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
Would have been nice to crave one out of wood and paint it

That's a future idea Shirley ... 🪵😃👍
That was brilliant! Thank you!
Thank you Margaret! 😁😊
Guys i can literally smell the pumpkin while watching this.
It smelt wonderful fro-yo 🪵😃👍
Anyone else that just can feel the smell of this vid?
Feel it...? I could taste it FrostDragon ... 😂🤣🪵😃👍
Cool!
Thanks James ... 🪵😃👍
Is there something that would work as a preservative? (Even temporarily?)
Not that I'm aware of Pamela. Not too long until this year's offering .... 🪵😃👍
By thanksgiving all the flies larvae deep in the lathe will be ready to use as seasoning for your Turkey you’ll be carving next.
Clearly the 4:20 time signature is indicative of being stoned enough to come up with this creative but still ridiculous “project”
I was just hoping to see the centrifugal force send pumpkin slop everywhere, like it should have done.
Are we cool 😎...?
That's a first for me. Neet!
Thanks Chris ... 🪵😃👍
Wow keren mas..
Many thanks Miftah 🪵😃👍
Amazing
