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. Star Lord Frank and Wife One Direction Frank and Wife 2 Baby Groot Beetlejuice Planet of the Apes-Col. Taylor...

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. Here's how you do it: https://player.vimeo.com/video/106628807

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...

I haven't heard yet. I'll prolly send him a text tomorrow to find out. Andretti

Thank you guys. I appreciate it. Andretti

lol, no. I took the Animal carve (sesame street) and the Tigger carves down there. NO scary stuff for the hospital. =] Andretti

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. www.thegourdsgonewild.com Thanks for looking Andretti

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...

Those are outstanding! Do you sell these too? Andretti

So you find this beneficial (the darblet)? I've never heard or read about that before.

Looks like I'm ready for the carpet today!! All the drywall is installed and painted, baseboard is in, doors installed and stained, media cabinet built, stained and installed as well. TV wall mount is also ready and as soon as carpet is installed I'll be putting it on the wall and moving all...

Numerous changes and updates at this point. I ended up just building a media rack/cabinet. It isn't anything dramatic, but with some help from one of my neighbors, it will work and be fine. I still plan on hiding the entire thing behind a mounted and framed movie poster on some sort of piano...

I have two of the ones from the link directly above. One allows me to have a flatscreen tv mounted high up on the wall in our kitchen, yet have the receiver down in the basement and still change channels, while the other allows me to have the tv on the wall in our bedroom, and its receiver...

I've been a huge Cussler fan for years. As I remember, RTT was the first one of his books I read, but did go back and start at the beginning by reading Pacific Vortex (which, IMO is hands down, the best one of all of his books). I did see the movie with a huge amount of expectations, to have...

Sheetrock went up yesterday, and mudding is being done as I type this. I'm excited to have gotten this far and am grateful for the advice and all the posts here on the site. I hold no illusions that once completed it will be much in comparison to all I've seen here, but for me and my family...

I am honestly astonished by all your preparation for your theater and everything else going on in your basement. The magnitude of your project, and your efforts are awesome. And here I've been whining to my wife all the work I've been putting into my theater room. Good grief. If she ever...

I finally just bit the bullet and placed an order for an HDMI cable. I ended up going with the BJC Belden Series-1 Bonded-Pair HDMI Cable from Blue Jeans Cable. I got ahold of some twine and ran it like I would the HDMI and it looks like I at least need a 29' 6" cable, so I opted for the 35'...

Thanks yet again for your suggestion. I'll do more research based on that brand. Also...I put on the newest Hunger Games movie for my wife last night. I intentionally unhooked the sub line to the 7001's just to 'see' if I'd notice if there was any difference. And as I'm sure you already...

Is there a particular 'HDMI extender over cat' I would be best served using (typically found to be most reliable) for runs between 25'-45'?? I've found numerous ones, but they do vary a great deal price wise and I'm wondering how much of that is due to quality among many other concerns...

Thanks for the reply. :) As far as building a cabinet...well, I figured a wood one would help hold the heat too much, and tbo...I have no woodworking skills (as well as no tools) really what-so-ever as far as 'finishing something to look good' goes. In case someone saw the picture open, I'd...

Looking for a bit of help in building and setting up my media room. I've been lurking for a bit now, but finally decided I'd post my situation. I'd appreciate any time and thought all of you might have to answer some lingering questions and problems I have. I am now finally about to move my...
