i r use real english and say that all you need is the basic cheap kit that you can pick up anywhere for a couple dollars and some patience. The good old way has never done me wrong before.

Not a bad article but I would have liked a mention as to where to buy the PUMPKIN DRILL. If you can mention one retail store for a carving knife, it would have been helpful to offer a resource for the drill.

I just bought two big pumpkins today on top of two other small ones I purchased earlier in the week. I'm going to use the tools you mentioned (I bought a carving kit with templates) for my very first ever pumpkin carving project. I am so excited already. :-)

Stupid. How about showing HOW to make a cool carved pumkin. Instead, from the sounds of this lame article, it sounds as if a part of your brain was carved away in Journalism school. GRRR. on scale of 1-10 i reate this article a NEGATIVE 4

As a chef, caterer and instructor, I find it amazing that someone can plug an article based on simply mentioning three tools. Frankly only one of the tools mentioned works well, the other two are non-essential. The article doesn't help anyone make a "better" pumpkin carving--it doesn't even attempt to try to. Quite frankly, I wish I had the author's job! My life would be so much easier!
Great carvings are easier than people may think, but it is not a matter of buying product a, b, or c!

I found some cool tools made by this guy in Boston. It's a kit with a pumkin scraper (for the guts), a tiny but strong saw, and a poker thing you can use to add hair. They went over really well at our pumpkin carving party... safe for the kids, super precise and made out of wood! Try www.stubbles.us
