Modern Pumpkin Carving
Published by Budda October 5th, 2005 in Gadgets, Home, Garden, Misc.The art of Pumpkin Carving has never lived up to that which you see on TV or in the movies. The good intentions at the start soon dwindle to just wanting to finish the hacked up mess that is a sorry excuse for a Jack O’ Lantern.
However, pumpkin carving is about to get a kick up the bum thanks to this affordable hack and slash kit!
Yes, fright-night fans, now you too can make spectacularly sculpted pumpkins without selling your soul to the devil or purchasing a possessed Freddy Krueger glove with this ingenious battery-operated tool. Fitted with a unique carving bit the Dremel can carve intricate designs in no time. All you have to do is hollow out your pumpkin, download the stencils from the Firebox templates page or from another place we found, stick ‘em on and get busy scoring away the outer skin with this dinky device. It’s easier than tracing a picture.
Using the twin-speed tool it doesn’t cut all the way through the pumpkin; it actually carves off layers of outer flesh to leave a gossamer-thin layer of skin that lets the candlelight glow through. The result is a gorgeously ghostly effect that will put your neighbours’ efforts to shame.
It’s a perfect gadget to get you in the mood for a decent looking 2005 Halloween!
Costs £19.95 - and you can use it every year - available from Firebox.com now.
