Title says it all. I have some video I can post (maybe) if my web server behaves. I will load it later once we are done playing Xbox, don't want to fuck up the COD live connection!
Here is a pic of the end result to hold you over. Shitty BB pic, sorry, but it's convenient.
Later,
Jason

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
Of course I did.
Edit: oh snap you even did a color changing LED! That is a good idea I might have to steal for myself...

Did you account for the curvature of the pumpkin? Would make a neat 4th axis experiment..

We actually bought a roughly cylindrical pumpkin to try on the rotary axis. I have not yet ever run the rotary on the mill. The one I did cut above (a 24lb beast) happened to have a big flat spot, so I started on that. The plan was to do the other pumpkin the next day, but I got the flu and spent the next three days in bed. This one never even made it onto the porch last night...
I will get the 4th up and running soon. I have a stellar idea for a led lit, PG engraved acrylic "water pipe"
and have to get the rotary axis up and running for it
Later,
Jason
