You know the pumpkins where the carving doesnt go all teh way through and the wall of the pumpkin is just so thin that the light shines through?
How do you do that?
I found places to get a pattern and know you transfer the pattern to the pumpkin by making little holes with an all or a knife, but how do you carve
out those pieces without going all teh way through?Vanilla Gorilla - 10-24-2010 at 04:39 PM
i'm really no expert but i think if you just kind or scrape off the harder outer orange you can probably get to the next layer and just kind of scrape
it down a bit, and i think it should work. This is all hypothetical on my part as a kid i only ever cut out the faces all the way when making jack o
lanterns.XHonusWagnerX - 10-24-2010 at 04:42 PM
after a bit of searching I found a guy doing it on YouTube using a chisel so you're probably right Gorilla, thanks!XHonusWagnerX - 10-24-2010 at 04:43 PM

that was actually COMPLETLY carved with a nail gun! Dave - 10-26-2010 at 08:33 AM
wicked! Didn't we post a bunch of pumpkins we made one year?
I found that if you just cut the design with a exacto knife, or something similar, you could just scrap out the top layers, without going all the way
thru. newbreedbrian - 10-26-2010 at 11:03 AM
Very nice Josh, that's awesome!Dave - 10-26-2010 at 11:45 AM

I was being a goof.JawnDiablo - 10-28-2010 at 11:45 PM
I find all of this very impressive.
I'd mutilate the damn pumpkin if I tried it.
