Happy Halloween
We carved our Halloween Pumpkin tonight at the "Just Me's" household.
Thanks to Kansas Viking for the template. This was my first attempt at this type of thing....

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

Good stuff man. Wish I could carve like that.

Good Karma man!
In any case, it should scare away Packers fans.

Awesome! (No way could I do that - What did you use to do all the intricate work?)cstelter wrote:OK, so this inspired me. Here is another one of Kansas Viking's templates come to life:

Re: Happy Halloween
Wow. Those are great! I've been working so dang much overtime I haven't even made it to the store to get pumpkins. Hubby picked up some candy, though. I hope there's some left tonight, LOL. Thank Heaven for a high metabolism.

Re: Happy Halloween
My wife bought a pumpkin carving kit or two of the past 3-5 years. They all come with something of a sawblade, kind of like a coping saw blade, but sturdier and single ended so that you can kind of saw your way along a line. The one I used was about 1/8" wide and 2.5" log and thin enough to do the detailed work.Just Me wrote: What did you use to do all the intricate work?
One of the kits came with a gizmo that was kind of like a 1/4 circle with spikes on the end. I took the template and blew it up to the size that would fit the pumpkin (it was a pretty big pumpkin, about 1.5' - 2' tall-- I can't imagine carving that much smaller though). Then I sprayed the back of the template with some spray-on glue (Kind of ends up as sticky as post-it-note glue). I stuck it on the pumpkin as best I could and then used the gizmo kind of draw dotted lines all over the pumpkin. Then I took the template off and basically did a big connect the dot thing with a tiny saw.
I think it took over 2 hours. But it was fun.

Re: Happy Halloween
I hate this holiday. I'm going to be standing around in my silly costume all night thinking about the game.
