threw this together with some scrap 2x4's, got tired of working on the floor.

ok, thats probably what it is then, I just edited it and the picture showed up for about a minute then disappeared.
 
That looks nice! Mine would look like a caveman made it.
 
Imagine two 2 x 4s assembled in a high pivot center that resembles an X like picnic table legs.

@Chuter Right now it rotates only if I turn it by hand, but if I were to put the pumpkin in, I would assume it will rotate down on its own. Probably if I put a rubber strap of some kind on one of the uprights to wrap around one or both of the axel tubes I could make it not spin easily on the uprights
 
you got me thinking about that rotating, so I came up with this!

two hose clamps, one secured permanently and the other made to come off easily. Also put a piece of weatherstripping under the clamp to better clamp the tube down.

Looks like that should work. I remember chasing mine around when I had it resting on a pair of jack stands, with a third under the pinion to "control" rotation.
 
Oh, very nice! That is exactly what I need right now!
How many of you did it take to get it up on the stand?
You have the chunk out of it, right? Mine is incredibly heavy with the chunk and axles installed...
