That is a damned good tip. I can’t believe I’ve never thought of it. Thank you!

Another tip: Christmas lights. We use LED light strings for pumpkins instead of candles. No worries on fire hazards plus I know if my Christmas lights work before they need put up. I usually hang them on the house right after that but won’t turn them on until after Thanksgiving.

The $2 kid safe pumpkin carving knife/saw is by far the best option!

I've been a professional pumpkin carver for 20 years at a show called the "Jackolantern Spectacular" in Rhode Island. In my experience, the best tool fpr most people to use is a keyhole saw/drywall saw. It is serrated, amd sharp enough to cut well, but flexible enough to allow for easy changes in direction, curves, etc.

A $7.00 drywall saw is far superior to any $200 safe queen.

I used a Victorinox paring knife, and a jigsaw blade clamped in a pair of Vise-grips.

I used my saw on the leatherman wave!

Totally Awesomely Cool 😎 🎃🟠 Love this so very much 😍

Nice one

Is that daredevil?

I can do it better 🤫

They look great. Love the little guy on the bricks. Is the flame on the second pumpkin pushed into a thumbtack? Creative for sure :)

I really like 10 and 13, I don't usually carve pumpkins the way you do by just skinning it and leaving the image untouched but I think I'm going to try it this year

Sasuke eyes look great. I might try it and put red marbles in the holes for the sharingan glow.

Speedball linoleum cutters and all the blades! They store inside the handle. I also like to use clay sculpting tools of all sizes. The big ones are great for making the inside walls of your pumpkin thin and smooth.

I don't see the problem. This could have been taken at my house. At my house everyone sits around smiling while Dad carves the pumpkin in a long sleeve shirt and the guts of the pumpkin have been magically removed. My children just wait patiently, not wanting to explore everything. As a fire gently roars in the fireplace, my decor all matches, and there are no spots on the beige furniture. I thought every family in the world does things perfectly like this. They don't?

My toddlers would have been reaching for all the sharp tools, not sitting quietly and joyfully in my lap watching dad carve.

I love the seamless integration of the product in the image. World-class Photoshop artist

I grabbed my pumpkin carving coffee table off vine last year

Don't worry about me bros, this pumpkin will work as well as a real helmet.

Wine, dine and sixty nine it.

...and I shall call you Donald Trump.

glassblowing is one of those things i love watching, but am completely rubbish at doing. i had to take a semester course in uni for my art - handcrafts degree. and i just couldn’t do it well at all. these experts make it look so simple, but it really isn’t this takes so much talent and time to really excel.

Nice job very talented in your skill.

Invested from start to end.

Bloody brilliant.

That looked so much better than I thought it was going to. And I already thought it was gunna be awesome.
