I know it's strange to see this in a photography forum..but hey..I will need nice pictures of my pumpkin so I figured this would be a good a place as any to ask. Oh and the only thing I have seen is a Pumpkin Carving Dremel. I already own a dremel just need the attachment.

Thanks guys!

I’ve never had any luck with a Dremmel and went out and picked up a small set of wood chisels. The Dremmel just left a gooey mess and flung pumpkin goo everywhere. The Chisels work much better.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Man, there goes that idea! lol..thanks for the help! Are wood chisels faster than using one of these cheap pumpkin carving knives they give you in a kit?

I just use an airsaw blade. There are a few that have very small tips that turn nicely and they cut with ease. Of course you need some type of handle to use with it, but I already have that covered.

Yup same thing here, Started using the Dremmel and even on low setting it was making more a mess than anything. Pulled out the old wood working chisles and got to work.

Very simple design, but it got what i wanted. skinned the outside, shaved down the inside and then used my 580EX II inside on a wireless trigger :D

Thanks guys! I would prefer not to get the airsaw because my budget is very limited right now which is why I was only looking for an attachment. The wood chisel is starting to look more like a possibility though! :) Thanks for the help guys! I really wish I could have used my dremel :(

You don't have to buy an airsaw, just the blade and a handle. ;) It doesn't take much work to cut through a pumpkin. :lol:
