Hey guys, I'm super excited here. Got my pumpkins carved, candy in a bowl, and my scare on. But that isn't the best part of my halloween! I got my very first paycheck from my new job. And WOW! I'm rich for the day. I paid off some debts so my paycheck went from all that and a can of beans to a good amount I've never seen in my hands for a couple years. And back to the topic of Halloween, I have a couple carvings I wanted to show you guys. First, the merc. I am sadly not as happy with it as I was with the first one I made. The only dremel head I had was way too big. But then I did another pumpkin. Much better turnout.
We just did faces on our pumpkins... nice. One kid would only go to the "not" scary houses and the little one just cried. We didn't stay out long. BTW what job did you get?
I got hired on the position of Assembly Mechanic on Boeing 787 components. Mainly structure stuff. I really like it. It is like advanced arts and crafts with stinky chemicals and directions.
I went for a job like that a couple years ago... didn't get it. The man I have been working for the last week works at Boeing. He work the engines. Are you up in Everett?
Well, I was super tired last night and did not notice this. I accidentally posted the same one twice! here's the second pumpkin
I'm about 25 miles north of Everett. Oh, and I'm working for a company that supplies Boeing, not Boeing itself. Aerospace Manufacturing Technologies is the plant. Just 1/2 mile away from my front door.
Congrats on the job, and great pumpkins! Hopefully the larger paychecks can fund a few nice purchases, somewhere down the line
I apologize for the lack of understanding I am about to display, but how does the carving not fall out of the pumpkin? It looks to me like there is a plug of pumpkin with a buffalo nickel on it that is levitating in the center? What form of dark magic is at play here?
uber-cool. You might consider keeping the pumpkin inside your house. Outside it might act like a neon sign to attract the wrong sort of people.
Actually, great question. What I did was the usual. Drew a pentagram on the floor, sacrificed a stuffed animal and whatnot..... No, no black magic. The trick is to not cut all the way through the pumpkin. I used a dremel and made sure at its furthest "in point" was not fully penetrating the pumpkin.
Actually Jim, your post brought to mind 'candy corn'..........haven't the foggiest reason why,,,,must be the bloody mind set. 'Bloody'..........now there's a Halloween thought, albeit, today being 'All Saints Day'............
