Jeep Pumpkins

XJawgi · Oct 30, 2009

Every year my work holds a pumpkin carving contest. So I thought I would share my pumpkins from the past 3 years. 2006 & 2007 I won it, and 08 I got scammed by someone who used a store bought stencil.

2006 Pumpkin

2007 Pumpkin

2008 Pumpkin

This second photo is not a photoshop - the photographer had the shutter open long enough to put all kinds of stuff in the picture

Here is a crappy pic of the one i did this year. I'm hoping to get a better picture today during the contest.

Happy Jeep'o'ween

Damn, you have some talent.

I've got about enough patience to stand in line and buy the pumpkin-- then I'm done. My better half, however, enjoys chopping 'em up.

This years efforts:

Wow that first one is super nice! My hand writing in general sucks. So when it comes to letters, they generally look like a 3rd grader wrote them and I cut them out.

Down to the tread pattern and everything??! WOW

Shorty · Oct 30, 2009

Thanx (form her, obviously)--yeah, she's got the time/patience to do it right (stay at home mom)

P.S. she's a "Clevelander" by birth as well!

I only wish I had some of her better attempts to show off.

Haha well shes a smart gal for leaving : )

What does she use to cut the pumpkins? I use one of those model razor blades, but her cuts are pretty much perfect.

Shorty · Oct 30, 2009

some kind of cross between a soldering iron and an x-acto knife combination. It heats the blade and reduces the amount of "sawing" needed. I would find a link, but since I don't have any better description, I'll let you search instead of me (there's that short attention-span thing again)

XJawgi · Oct 30, 2009

Wow I never would have thought of something like that. Watch out Jeep 'O' Ween 2010

XJawgi · Oct 30, 2009

Found it, and its cheap!

Shorty · Oct 30, 2009

yeah-- her first one was that same one. Did I mention that if you steal it from the Mrs and try to use it as a soldering iron, you'll end up buying her a new (read: more expensive) one for penance?

You'd probably just paint the pumpkin OD Green and put some crap on top of it.

:gee:

... looks like the front is a GM 10 bolt with 8.5" gears?
