Patrice "TMan Feed Gestapo " Joined: Aug 2007 Sauk County, WI	Originally Posted by Flipper 56 I got our pumpkins all carved for the month of Halloween. I used the large foam pumpkins that are carvable with a hot knife. It's like a soldering iron with an exacto blade in it. Can you provide more info on the hot knife you used? Thanks!

Here is the youtube video that got me interested in making some pumpkins. I bought a hot knife like he used with the temp control and it broke when it got hot. The knife holder wasn't very good and broke when it got hot and softened the metal. I am having trouble posting the youtube video. I will do another post with it.

Looks softer and more realistic. "Where Can A Man Find Bear Beaver And Other Critters Worth Cash Money When Skinned?"
