Dremel Pumpkin Carver

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the best-tool-kit-ever dept.

GimpyMcJackass writes "With Halloween just around the corner, Dremel has "developed" the ultimate pumpkin carver set. It actually looks like it's just your normal dremel (although it's translucent orange) with a 191 high speed cutter and some fancy patterns. Of course, if you already have a Dremel and cutter (or reasonable knock-off of either/both), then you can just download some patterns."

    It looks like the patterns made it into the Coral cache before Dremel melted:

    Alas, not all of the actual PDFs seem to be cached, but some of them are.

    You dont break thru, You just take the dark outside rind stuff off.

    When you just have the pulp showin the light shines thru much better.

    When you do it this way you can make patterns you cant while cutting all the way thru. Stuff can just be floating.. It can look really good.
