1 Hour Halloween Challenge: Can We Make Something Sellable?

Kim is out of town, so naturally I decided this was the perfect time to give myself a challenge.

I have exactly ONE HOUR to come up with a brand-new Halloween product, design it, cut it, paint it, UV print the interchangeable pieces, assemble the whole thing, and see if it’s actually something I could SELL.

And yes... somewhere in the middle of all of this I had to call Kim while she was out shopping because I needed a password. So apparently she can’t even leave town without me needing tech support.

For this challenge, I’m making a tabletop interchangeable Halloween lantern using MDF and UV-printed acrylic inserts. But finishing it before the timer runs out is only half the challenge.

At the end, I’m answering three questions:
Would I actually sell it?
How much would I charge?
Can I produce it efficiently enough to make sense as a real product?

Spoiler: I came WAY closer to that 60-minute deadline than I wanted to.
