Jack'O Hades

I have entered the Pumpkin Carving Contest because I loved carving pumpkins when I was a kid and seeing what cool ideas I could make. I’ve always wanted to be able to carve a pumpkin with more ideas and props then I ever have before and now I finally get that chance. I wanted to make a gory, scary, hideous jack-o-lantern… whether I win or not…

I started this project with a sketch of what I want to make so I could have a visible idea. Then I went into Inventor and made a 3D model of the possible props i wanted. I Printed out demon horns to make it look cooler. Not many people get to use a computer to make something… especially not anything for a pumpkin... so I took advantage of my opportunities. Wouldn’t you?

Step 1: First I Found a Pumpkin to Do My Carvings On

Step 2: Next I Sketched a Few Possible Designs for the Pumpkin Before I Started Carving.

Step 3: Then I Had My Possible Designs Reviewed by a Handful of People to Get Their Opinion.

Step 4: I Then Gutted the Pumpkin, and Started Cutting the Face Into It.

Step 5: After That I Made My 3D Horns in the Inventor Software.

Step 6: I Printed the Horns in Glow in the Dark Plastic.

Step 7: I Then Stuck My Horns Into the Pumpkin in the Way I Wanted Them to Be Placed.
