    I got tired of using the safe version of the pumpkin tools so I made my own. Most folks have one or two of those “freebie” screwdrivers (philips on one end flat blade on the other)lying around so….
    Grind down the edges of the flat blade
    Heat up the philips end (with a blow torch) and pull it out or use your muscles
    Go to your local hardware store and pick up a 10 TPI (10 Teeth Per Inch) jigsaw blade http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=79592-000000070-75-268&lpage=none
    Heat up the end of the jigsaw blade and shove in into the hole where the philips was.

    Now you’ve got the perfect tool for making jack-o-lanterns. The jig saw blade if much fast and precise in my opinion. Don’t foget to slather the inside of the pumpkin with vasoline to keep it fresher longer and don’t use a candle it just speeds up the decomposition of the pumpkin.

    I was going to carve a sencil one last haloween but at the last minute I decided I’d prefer the traditional toothy grin. Once again I’m planning to do a stencil but we’ll see.

    Why does the candle speed up decomposition? I would have thought drying out the inside would help. You’re probably right though since mine always rot away very fast.
