My 1st Pumpkin Carving Experience!2 weeks ago, I experienced my first Turkey Shoot -- which is on my Youtube Channel, and then I went to Holiday World last Saturday (my first amusement park experience in the US).
Anyway, this post is about Pumpkin Carving, so here goes!!
I've never imagines that I would be able to have this experience, and I didn't expect it to be technical, to be honest. O_o It's a good thing my father-in-law was guiding me through it, and was helping so that my baby wouldn't go to where I was working because -- I have to use a saw! xD
I picked the pumpkin, with a good face. (They told me to have one in a bit of an angle so it would look good with a face on. xD)
The process:
My father-in-law, Bob, cuts the top off in an angle, so that it won't fall inside.
Also leaves a square cut so it won't move or swivel.

Who knew. xD
This is me gutting my pumpkin!!
It was a bit tiring, coz it was my first time.
It took me 13 minutes to have a smooth inside.
Pumpkin fully gutted!
Then I chose a design and pinned the pattern down.
Onto the poking!
I used a pencil to poke the stencil!
16 minutes.
Now, onto the actual carving!
I used a small saw, from a carving kit, and I started cutting the design.
My father-in-law gave a lot of advice on how to make it easier to carve.
I did it for about 20 mins!
I'm a beginner.
This is the finished product!
Of course we had to test it, so we lit 2 candles inside of it and~~~
Do you know who this is?
