Woodturning - Extreme Pumpkin Carving!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 พ.ย. 2024
- 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.

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! 🪵😃👍
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
🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
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....... 🪵😃👍
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. 🪵😃👍
Nifty carving.
Thank you Lara! 😁👍
strangely satisfying
Thank you Nikita! 👍
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 ... 🪵😃👍
I love it....
Thank you ... 🪵😃👍
Wicked cool 😎...my favorite holiday.
Glad you liked it Sharebear. Thanks and sorry that the reply is so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
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 ... 🤣😂🪵😃👍
Interesting... I like it
Thank you 🪵😃👍
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 ... 🪵😃👍
Oh boy! Serious cleanup for the tools needed!!
Nah green kitty. I had a seriously dedicated helper ... 🐕
🤣😂🪵😃👍
Some people just have too much time on their hands! LOL I'm just kidding. Nice pumpkin !
Thanks Sheila, I just LOVE to turn!!! 🪵😃👍
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... 😂🤣🪵😃👍
This man is a genius
Thank you! 👍😁

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. 👍
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.
🪵😃👍
😂🤣 Happy Halloween 🎃 🎃 🎃
Thanks Sol, sorry it's so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
love you work out come is nice
Thanks Derreck 🪵😃👍
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.
Wow.. this is halloween concept.
Thanks, it certainly is, 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 ... 🐕
@@WintersMinion no issues, all pretty easy clean up and my best friend helped ... 🐕
That's awesome LOL
Thank you Rennae ... 🪵😃👍
Nice! That's a first
Thanks for watching! 😁😊
Harry Smith is an artist.
Why thank you Margo...🪵😃👍
Orangeheart, unlike it’s extremely hard relative Purple Heart, it is an undeniably soft wood 🤣
Totally agree artful and a wee bit spongy!! 🤣😂🪵😃👍
Very cool!!!
Glad you liked it, thanks Clark 🪵😃👍
Cool!
Thanks James ... 🪵😃👍
Genius
Thanks Carrie 🪵😃👍
Now I’ve seen it all my life has been fulfilled.
Glad to be of assistance! 🤣😂
🪵😃👍
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 🎃 🤪 😜
Anyone else that just can feel the smell of this vid?
Feel it...? I could taste it FrostDragon ... 😂🤣🪵😃👍
Clever!
Thank you ... 🪵😃👍
Pumpkin carving in shop class!!
Thanks Jamie, glad you liked it! 🪵😃👍
Hahaha 🤣 hilarious but also clever
Thanks Joshua and sorry the reply is so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
I wonder who had more fun - you doing this or me watching you? You are a treasure!
For awhile that pumpkin head looked pissed! You had his head spinning!
🤣😂 very good👍
It’s kinda mesmerizing
Just what I was aiming for C Green. 😉 Thanks and sorry the reply is so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
LOL Good looking jack lantern
Thank you 😅😁
@@HarrySmithWoodturning You're welcome!
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 can smell the pumpkin though the computer lol
😜😜😜😜 Made me smile!
Thanks Anthony that's what it's all about... and laughter too.. 🪵😃👍
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 😎 👍
I LOVE IT!!!! TOTALLY AWESOME HALLOWEEN INNOVATION!!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
Fantastic!

Clean up must have been fun
It was, I had my best friend to help on clean up ... 🐕

I thought I might have to *squash* your feelings but it's actually pretty *gourd* .
Brian ! 🤦🏻♂️. . . I've Bean trying to think of a gag but Carrot think of any... 🤣😂
Unbelievable! Chapeau!
Thanks Umberto 🪵😃👍
Pretty cool......
Thank you Chris! 👍
Yep, this seems like a good idea
Too right Mike, the only bad idea is not to try something.... 🪵😃👍
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..... 🤣😂🪵😃👍
I'd like to see a video on the failure RPM of various fruits, and vegetables. Lol
Now... there's an idea 💡 Not Sure.
🪵😃👍
Cool projects 👍

Random bit of fun 🐸🐸💭
Too true Tymmuffphi! I love fun, it should be my middle name..! 🪵😃👍
Better than the way I been carving em’
Thanks Bansheeboy ... 🪵😃👍
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 !! 🤣😂
Satisfying ❤
Wow! A bumpkin.
Good work ;D
Looks sick
Thanks Zinisterz 🪵😃👍
Absolute overkill... I love it
Thank you Noah! 😁👍
Neat- o !
Thanks Dennis 🪵😃👍
impressive, you can turn anything, no limits.
Thanks John, now there's a challenge!!!!! 🪵😃👍
Dam cool
Thank you Kandace 🪵😃👍
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 🪵😃👍
That was an amazing method to carve one ugly jack-o-lantern
Thanks Patrick glad you liked it. Sorry the reply is so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
Cool
Thank you Michelle! 👍
I like thm lol
Happy Halloween
And to you Thomas!!
🪵😃👍
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. 🪵😃👍
Cool 🎃
Thank you! 😁👍
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!! ⛑
🤣😂🪵😃👍
Messy, but cool,
There is never a neat way to carve a pumpkin.
Thanks Noel, sorry it's so late, Happy Halloween - messy is good 👍 🎃 🤪 😜

As a non-fan of Hallowe'en, I can still admire your work! I would not have thought of carving A pumpkin like that. Well done!
Thanks Stephanie I like to try different things and this just seemed right to me.... 🤣😂🪵😃👍 Sorry the reply is SO late!!

Cheers Ron, pumpkin fun for everyone! Thanks and sorry it's so late, Happy Halloween 🎃 🤪 😜
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.

@@rcb3921 surprisingly it was quite quick and easy. Also my dog helped!! 🪵😃👍
Yes!

Amazing
Thanks Deborah 🪵😃👍
That's a first for me. Neet!

That ain’t nothing but a great big old mess of pumpkin every where

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 🎃 🤪 😜
Good pumpkin you made there! Using a lathe is rather unique.
Thanks Roger. I like to test barriers.... 🪵😃👍
I hope that you saved and roasted the pumpkin seeds for later. lol Good show
Nice carve! Thanks for cleaning the mess up.
Thank you, but my special helper did that ... 🐕
