Ended BYC's 2022 Spooktacular Halloween Hatch-Along—Pumpkin Carving Contest

[SueT]

I just got these off amazon this year, i too was tired of the cheezy handles and bending blades. They worked well. Only complaint is i wish it had a smaller jigsaw blade in it for the small stuff.

That look like a good combination!
As for smaller blades, steal, I mean borrow some from your husband’s shop

I have a question for you serious carvers out there - can you recommend a set of sturdy tools that won't bend or break like those common orange ones everybody seems to be selling in October? Those are really frustrating to work with, and I end up having to replace them pretty much every year.

I've got professional carving tools, german made.

Nesstu is one of the brands I've got, I don't remember the other one.

For pumpkins or wood carving?
Wood carving tools didn't even cross my mind! I bet they would work.

I can do it tomorrow. Right now, I just wanna relax.

I've actually never been so behind on carving pumpkins, I still got some big ones to carve left. I've been so busy this year.
