So here are my pumpkins I carved for my 2016 Halloween display.
I usually carve 15-20 a year, but this year time and other things have really cut my carving time.
In anticipation of the inevitable questions, these are foam pumpkins. I use to carve real pumpkins, but I got tired of all the last...
So here are my carves for the 2015 Halloween season. I carve these using foam (craft) pumpkins and a dremel along with diamond burr and drill bits.

easy....it is projected on a window with a semi-transparent covering on it. The image shows through....and you look and see it from the outside.

I am working on plans for my halloween display. One thing I've run across is a dvd I can buy that I can use to project different images up over a window for it to be seen at night from outside.
All the site suggests is that it be a tv projector at or above 1800 lumens. Other than that, I'd...
I posted this in another thread, but for the next 14 hours, the 'Classic Monsters' set of 8 blu ray dvd's is on sale. I've kept my eye on it for months...its usually around $100, but for $49.99 currently and free shipping.
Just wanted to pass along for anyone who might also have been...
Just as a heads up...I've been keeping an eye on the 'Classic Monsters' blu ray set of dvd's for quite some time now (#20 on this list). It usually averages right around the $90 range, so I just decided to just wait to see what happens to the price over the next few months.
Today...I found it...
My movie room is pretty much 95% done, so I'm throwing around ideas in my mind what to put up movie poster wise.
Two agenda's here. One movie poster framed would be done in a very elaborate yellow-ish/gold frame (think outside movie theater marquee) to cover the opening of my cabinet...
Here are the rest
I've been carving these for years...if your bored and feel like it, go take a look at my website in the gallery and you can see many more I've carved since I started back in 2006.

These carves are done by me on craft foam pumpkins. I grew tired of carving numerous real pumpkins in marathon sessions prior to Halloween only to have them rot and die so quickly. Carving on foam pumpkins allows them to be displayed for years without any degradation or loss of results. In...
I'd definitely recommend Dr. Strangelove for a Memorial day viewing. Very humerus movie about a horrible thing....war.
'Gentlemen, You can't fight in here. This is the war room!'.
It would be a much easier movie to watch than say, 'We Were Soldiers', or 'Black Hawk Down' and likely a great...
