Now THAT would be a mess and a half. A coarse tooth blade works best, whether its on a knife, saw, sawzall...

Dremel used to sell a pumpkin carving tool which you could get at Home Depot or Rona this time of year. Don't know if they still do. They're an incredibly keen little miniature version of the Dremel tool. How cool is that? :)

Really? I never would have thought a rotating tool would be very efficient.

I think she used just a very small toothed blade. I know she asked fro the dremel but never heard it ;)

Here's the four I carved, just winged it. The small ones are white pumkins, pretty neat in daylight.

And I learned a new trick this year; Instead of cutting the top out of the pumkin, cut the bottom out, with a notch for proper replacement. That way your "lid" is actually the base, you put the candle on it, then lower the jack-o-lantern onto the base using the notch to match them up. Much cleaner look, and easy candle lighting. You probably all do that already, I'm kinda slow on the uptake.
