I love Will's leaves & Steve's self portrait but I think Fred has to be the winner. His representation of his dad is brilliant!

[@TheLazyRizzo]

My vote goes to “Steve by Fred”. Brilliant work by everyone though

[@denisesudd5318]

Mine too

[@Diaanb]

“Steve” by Fred is the winner for me. I could see it was Steve even before he was finished 😂

[@nicolaliddle9622]

Joint first Steve and Fred because they looked good lit up but highly commended for Suzie and Will for carving skills! Fun video!

[@simontassano5992]

Exactly!

[@luciascalisi7172]

Aww, sorry I missed it - would’ve done a portrait of a pumpkin - well, a Domato masquerading as a pumpkin probably - would’ve won……. 🤡…..😂😂😂😂 Great organising Dom ✨👍✨

[@brendawilliams700]

My vote goes to Fred. His portrait of his dad is brilliant. Great work everyone 🎃

[@normanbott]

Steve by Fred for me. Pity that Suzy and Will's designs weren't pierced to let the light out... So entertaining though. Nice one Dom.

[@lynnhaswell1690]

Such talent !!!! How to choose a favourite- thought Steve's self portrait was brill - Fred's 'tribute' to his dad - really touching - Suzie's horse so artistic- Overall a super talented family 👌🍊😊

[@mistermike9688]

Easy decision for me.....Fred, Steve's apprentice, and David was an honourable second . Excellent competition many thanks

[@wl22]

Beautiful leaf, Will, and so is the horse. My vote is for Fred's "Steve"

[@Grummash]

I honestly thought Will would be shoo-in... and his pumpkin was very classy - but vote is for “Steve” by Fred. This is the best Halloween “thing” ever! What a beautiful, beautiful bunch of humans! 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

[@hennik1974]

'Steve by Fred' has my vote!! Great job Fred!

[@bobingram6912]

Steve by Fred, love the glasses on the forehead - bet he'll be working late after that!!! Also loved the artistic touches of Suzie & Will

[@karenbrabin1004]

Spooky barn gets my vote, most ingenious 👍

[@emibetts]

My vote is for “Steve by Fred” - brilliant! I think David’s was hilarious too! 🤣

[@skippymagrue]

I love the spooky barn.

[@davewilson7762]

Joint first Steve and Fred, Steve for an excellent carving in only 15 mins, Fred for being brave enough to carve his boss...

[@sueglover4599]

My vote is for "Steve by Fred" as the most traditional pumpkin but well done to everyone - so interesting to see each individual's carving and the fun that you all had! I love the show, you are all so talented xx

[@user-fz6vs4de9m]

How fun!!!! The teddy bear ladies are going nuts.

[@sassysuzy4u]

The leaf and horse carved in looked amazing. Just needed to be a bit deeper so the light would shine through but they will know for this year!

[@ClairMcCowlen]

I vote for the spooky barn, but my husband liked Steve by Fred.

[@Ozbert]

I vote for Steve's apprentice, Fred. Well done all of you and thanks Dom for doing all the work setting it up. ; - )

[@stephenrice4554]

All good , the barn , once I'd got the gist was good . 👍🇬🇧

[@catherinetetrault4789]

Steve by Fred, then the teddy bear ladies because of the glitter and shine, then Suzie and Will, ooops I forgot Steve's self portrait.great fun Dom great idea to break up the monotney 😂❤

[@landonmarx4753]

Steve's classic pumpkin. Is the winner for me.

[@bevm1938]

My vote goes to the spooky barn but they all did better than I could, well done to all

[@suescraftstuff]

My vote is for the spooky barn. !

[@snooziesuzi]

Bear ladies win my vote, carved so you could see the bear through it and well glitter!!!

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Time limit, very sharp tools, nobody experienced - except carving guy... What a great idea... 👀👀👀😂💡👍

[@spicematthews8034]

I looked down the comments and I seem to be the only one picking the "scary barn". Doors open and a fire in the barn. I thought it was quite clever.

[@elainelewis1781]

Will's is my favourite as he used the same technique that I used with mine this year. I'm sure if he had had time he would have thinned the walls so the light could shine through!

[@hunkhk]

Not to mention he is so adorable hence he gets my vote

[@lou9007]

Have to go with Suzies horsing around, fabulous fun you're all completely nuts hahaha

[@audremyers422]

Great fun!!! LOVE the Repair Shop!

[@maggie208]

Bear Ladies love all the glitter😄🐻🐻👏👏

[@hilnelson8283]

Steve by Fred................ Will and Susie's carvings were brilliant.

[@lisalomas5022]

Self portrait by Steve. All brilliant of course. Love this, thanks Dom x

[@brianmicky7596]

Hi Dom, What a fantastic bit of fun, they all deserve to win , All the Best Brian 🤗

[@tekkydaveU]

I vote for Steve. Looks the best lit up by candle in the dark.

[@cenninbach]

'Steve' by Fred, closely followed by Steve's self portrait. Suzi's and Will's beautifully carved but not so good in the dark; perhaps if they'd had more time?

[@marlenaforbes-reidy9876]

I just love your channel and the incredible restoration you all do to and for people’s treasured memories. Love and blessings to you all - New Zealand. ❤️👍❤️

[@DominicChineas]

Thank you!! Appreciate the positive comment

[@mikey673442]

Best programme on TV. Love these folk. Well done. Steve by Fred. 5 star.

[@TraxFour]

I vote for Spooky Barn. It looked great once lit up! Well done everyone.

[@jimmgmetroturbolott2070]

Steve by Fred gets my vote. Love the glasses on the forehead.

[@roydavies260]

What Fun. Thanks Dom. Best wishes

[@nicoled82]

Oh man. I wanted Will’s and Suzie’s to be my tops, but they weren’t carved deep enough for the light to shine though! So I’m going to have to go with Fred’s portrait of Steve.

[@ellmo1022]

How fun. I liked the Haunted Barn! Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. Thanks for sharing.

[@pattigee1]

Great show and loved the pumpkins!😱

[@chickydeejen]

My vote is for Suzie's "Horsing Around". I love the detailed carving. So much fun to see this, thanks for organizing it!

[@davidmanning8329]

Looks like an awesome bit of fun at work guys. Enjoy!

[@bar1066]

Great video. 😀 Steve by Fred. You can't beat taking the proverbial out of the boss. 👍

[@mattiegriffiths]

Loved this! I thinks Steve's "self portrait" is my fave!

[@Karen-tu9xy]

Steve by Fred was really good it nice to see ‘grownups’ having fun. Good job all🤘👍

[@annettewalter2273]

Great fun. They were all good!

[@audioscootingkent4790]

I'm voting spooky barn looked creepy lit up. Perfectly spooky.

[@eddiehenrard5251]

Steve and Fred joint first, Spooky Barn by Burb high,y commended! Great idea Dom'! Can’t wait to see what you have in mind for Guy Fawkes!

[@ianthomson9363]

The carving by Will & Suzie was expertly done, but my vote is for Julie because she's lovely.

[@richardford4570]

Our vote is equal first horsing around and Steve by Fred . Great stuff Dom , we love all of you at the repair shop .cheers from Rick and Jan in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

[@labtech666]

Steve by Fred was the winner for me!

[@martavaresi1455]

I need people like you guys in my life….

[@royworks28]

That was great,what an awesome group of people. I think Steve’s was the best

[@seysje]

Horsin' around by Suzie, beautiful carving!

[@PeterJewell2]

This is a great idea, but I felt a bit anticlimaxed at the end, especially with Will's and Suzy's. These are such talented people, I'd like to see what they could do with longer time.

[@more.power.]

Excellent so funny and really nice to see you guys having fun. Love it

[@rob_appelman]

"Steve by Fred", awesome

[@elizabethbaldwin1269]

I have to vote for Suzie she is just my absolute favorite.

[@wallysrestorationshop5465]

Steve by Fred, Good bit of Halloween fun keep up the good work Dom 👍

[@lesleys5666]

Steve by Fred wins it hands down ... loved the scary barn

[@ianwood-ellis5183]

Great video, good to see all but 2 get involved, my vote is for Steve as I think it's the best carving. But bravo to all that took part

[@jonathandavidpope7812]

Loved Suzy's horse. Such talented people.

[@twilightmad808]

I vote for Fred's! 🎃

[@phlegam42]

Fantastic idea Dom! Tough decision but it has to be for me "Steve" by Fred. Well done all !

[@glenysbellaney5544]

Steve and Fred are my winners, hard to choose. Such fun had by all 🎃🎃👏👏👏👏👏👏🍻🍻

[@andrewmarch7891]

Suzie's art work was wonderful, not sure where the light leaks out but perhaps it goes in! Light into darkness is a truth I can live with.

[@Gman4633]

I’d have to say ‘Steve’ by Fred. Looked the best lit up and wonder if that’s how Fred sees Steve when working 😂 Gret vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@fionathomson4436]

Talented people 👏 ❤️

[@steveconnor9871]

Suzie with horsing around gets my vote.

[@craigd6261]

They're all winners! What a great fun video. Suzie and Will by far the best talent, but 'Steve' by Fred was the best overall pumpkin (although I've just realised he looks a bit like Iron Maidens Eddie from the Aces High cover!)

[@OP-1000]

I think Steve’s pretty nice old school, but Fred’s “Steve” had me laughing out loud. The Old Barn was very different, but totally worked. The bear ladies were not spooky at all 😁 and the others were beautifully carved, but no lights!

[@kieranmccarthy4407]

Horsin' Around by Suzie is my favourite

[@barryhumphriesinc.broughto3098]

Ha ....... Steve by Fred methinks. Thanks for fun video Dom.

[@johndodd2157]

Fred’s Steve for me, great idea. Conker and apple carving next or even walnuts or medlars!!

[@jamesnotsmith1465]

It's time for the 2nd annual pumpkin carving event. I bet the contestants have given their designs for this year a lot of thought already. I look forward to seeing this year's video.

[@sarahdenbow7791]

Spooky barn was great lit up, it really worked. And Steve by Fred.

[@ShugAveri]

They were all great. Steve by Fred and Horsin Around by Suzie were my faves!

[@peterlake7089]

Great carving by all but Steve's was the best.

[@heatherchoudhary6874]

Steve by Fred is the winner for me as looks the best when lit up. Susies should in for carving though not quite the idea for this purpose. Fun vidéo

[@kenzokan167]

'Steve by Fred' with 'spooky barn' a close second

[@raymonddelorney4603]

“Steve” by Fred. All were great and such a lovely idea

[@creativelady37]

The horse, leaf and Steve grasses!

[@frances7243]

All brilliant but the winner for me is.......... Steve's portrait by Fred

[@richardwhatton1249]

I loved the Bear ladies ingenuity with the cutters but I guess for trad pumpkin carving it has to be Steve…. Kind regards, Richard.

[@fairyacorn4854]

What fun you lot have. Shame they did'nt have more time. I too think Steve and Fred as they really worked well.

[@rosecross2103]

Steve by Fred. Happy Halloween to everybody x

[@EldestClock]

Another vote for Steve by Fred - loved the angry expression 😆

[@keithphilliskirk]

Steve by a short head 😂😂

[@nickh2519]

Spooky Barn, surely?! Great video, I expect to see Brenton's late entry on the next one, All the Best

[@Demonchips1]

Steve by Fred. Brilliant.

[@marieeaton-smith5168]

Brilliant idea and video Dom. My winner is 'Steve by Fred', and second is 'Spooky Barn by Burv". Great job everyone.

[@moonstarer55]

Steve by Fred as winner. Great video with laughs and smiles

[@steveball2307]

Steve by Fred - although tempted by all that glitter!
