Attention lazy bastards everywhere! This is the best way to carve a pumpkin...ever. Speaking of carving pumpkins, where are all the [H] pumpkins?

^^That probably takes more effort cuz you have to model it first. I've almost seen it all now thanks to you Steve!

agreed, neat but looks like it would take a lot of effort.

We have done this at my place of employment (coworker's project here). It is pretty easy to use, take a vector file and either autopath it, or manually define which direction the machine follows the lines in the file. We can instruct someone in the operation of the software and hardware in about four hours.

That water could have supported 5 families for a week in California.

The machine uses 0.5-1 gallon per minute of cutting, and 3 gallons of recycled water for cooling. A shower is like 2 gallons per minute.

Kind of destroyed the back of the pumpkin...lol.

Not as badly as I thought it would have, though.

Sledgehammering the fly. I expected more.

It likely took longer to gut the pumpkin than to set that up.

If he would of sunk the pumpkin down into the water, it would of eliminated 95% if not all of the damage to the back side.
