    This is cool. Or rather hot. Particularly where the flames are coming out.

    Bah. We don't need no stinking Dremels.

    A .22 semi-auto.

    From What tools don't work well:

    Dremel tool / Roto-sip - Man, I thought these two would be great at carving. I even bought a "carving" tool for my dremel. I had high hopes. Unfortunately, I never considered the fibrous nature of the pumpkin. As you try to carve a straight line using a spining carving tool, it will slide through some spots and then snag a fibrous spot and jerk to one side. These two tools just don't work. Use a jig saw for carving and you'll be much happier. The in and out motion is much easier to use.

    According to them, the best tools are the Sawzall, Jigsaw, Router, and Ice Cream scoop.

  8. Re:Dremel? Ick. by mikael · · Score: 1 · on Dremel Pumpkin Carver

    It's a neat idea, but using a small-diameter, high-RPM cutting tool to carve a pumpkin essentially guarantees the immediate area will be coated in a fine orange spray.

    As opposed to a large industrial robotic pumpkin carver?

    Now this is what I call overkill :)
