How a Geek Carves a Pumpkin

Why, with a Dremel high speed rotary tool, of course!

Before:

Aftermath:

Perhaps this wasn’t such a good idea after all - I’m going to be cleaning up pumpkin bits for weeks. Can you tell which orifices I caved in and used a knife on? We’re going to put him on the porch, shavings and all. :-)

Happy Halloween!

    WOW! You were trying WAAAAY too hard.

    I use a serated blade and saw the holes open, but I do use the Dremel tool to make a safe entry.

    Your bearded effect is pretty cool, I may have to try that next year. Thanks for the entertainment.
