infinityblacksmithing Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hi All, We carved our pumpkins this evening, and I thought some of you might like to see the one I made. Can you tell whats been on my mind? I feel like it's missing something. Anyone have any ideas on what I could add in the space left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry H Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Nice, you fit right in. My wife already wants to wear my butt as a hat, " is that all you think about? " yup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Farrar Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I love my Blackberry..... Anytime my wife sees me playing with my phone, she asks if I do anything with it other than look at "blacksmithing porn." Nice jack-o-lanterns! Carved one last night and got one more to go.... She wants it to be a cat... It just might turn into an anvil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnewberry Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Cool jack-o-lantern! I carved a couple last week. Nothing that fun, but I did use knives that I made to do the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordcaradoc Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I feel like it's missing something. Anyone have any ideas on what I could add in the space left? OK, so if you're really dedicated to the craft, shouldn't that be mounted on an air source with a coal fire or a propane burner instead of a candle? Nice job.

monstermetal Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 So does that make it an Anv-o-lantern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Nice punkin! I agree with Toreous, Sparks would be cool. Mark<>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Nice Jacko-anvil? Maybe it could use something being worked on the anvil. A nice scroll or such, sparks would be good too. Frosty the Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksnagel Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 True advice, I am bad about trying just one more thing and then wind up scrapping the whole project due to overkill. Mark<>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinityblacksmithing Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Left'er be I did. I think it looked great. The air blower would be an intersting idea, but I am not very fond of cooked jack'o'.... errr..I mean... anv'i'lantern...uuummmmm....where was I going with... oh yeah pumpkins. If I do it again I will have to either leave more room or get a much bigger pumpkin to add a little extra in a way that would fit. I'm glad you guys liked it. Thinking about all this made me think that a blacksmiths shop could make a very good place to have a haunted house kind of deal. Would just need a good cleaning to make sure no kids got tetnus.
