Perfect! Just perfect! Frame it immediately!

@jameron, I have a serrated pumpkin-carving knife. After seeing the carving set you posted, I can see why I've had luck with VERY SIMPLE designs. For me, the Eli design would surely require sophisticated tools.

I've never carved a pumpkin in my life, but I know a few Americans that swear by the Dremel, it's quicker and much more accurate than hand carving, so I'm told.

hmmm... a friend of mine has a dremel tool. I will ask him if i can borrow it... sadly i had no time to go to the market again so far. i hope i will get a pumpkin large enough
thanks for all the info this will also be the first time for me to carve a pumpkin

No complicated tools are required...All one needs is a kitchen knife and imagination. Look what it did for Norman Bates!

Since i live in a mainly white furnished flat like Patrick Bateman it will work for me
But...
...Its not nearly as expensive nor so "80ies" like his flat

So i finaly made it to the market again and i got myself a pumpkin for carving
And thanks to CyberGhostfaces stencil and all your good tips it was really a lot of fun!
So i made a few photos for you guys, i hope you like it.

First i got all the stuff set up nicely


I even had that big Psycho kitchenknife and to be honest i'm really glad that i didn't accidently stabed myself these things are tough to cut open


But i did it and it looked superscary inside... I didn't expect such a creepy filling




so i transferd the stencil on the pumpkin and cut it out with the dremel-tool.




And this is the finished Eli Jack o'Lantern

Cool Eli Jack 'O' Lantern.

OMG! Thanks, Daniel Ether!

Way to go, Daniel! I think you should show it to your nieces.
