~~Carving a Pumpkin~~
Hey all,
My girlfriend and I are gonna carve a pumpkin this saturday. Got any tips? I heard you are supposed to carve it from the inside out since the pumpkin is round and you dont want the eyes and such to be small. |

Yeah, but if you do a hard pattern, it will never come out looking good. The key is to cut at a slight angle to that the inside of the hole is slightly larger than the outside. That will let more light through

Did u watch that movie The Texas Chainsaw MAsacre? If u did this dude in his basement had a whole bunch of heads that he had cut off so do something like that. Nah i don't think punks are gonna take it but they might ghetto stump the shit out of it.

What you need:
* A pumpkin * An observer (g/f works fine) * A 12" rotary saw * A compressor with some air tools * And a bottle of tequila Set the pumpkin on a solid surface, drink the bottle of tequila, and then.....hell I dunno, but I'm sure your g/f will get a kick out of watching you. Definitely make sure your knife is very sharp!!! That is always helpful. b |

We always just drew the picture on the outside of the pumpkin then cut it out. It usually looked pretty good. Just remember to clean the inside of the pumpkin out first..
