In honor of all hollows eve the mom, the boy and I took the pumpkin out to the picnic table for some man style jack-o-lanterning.
The difference between normal carving and man carving is the use of power tools. Our tool of choice, the black and decker handisaw.
We went the traditional jack-o-lantern route, nothing too wild. The mom told me the types of pumpkins I used to carve were too scary for the boy. For those not in the know, I am a pretty well accomplished pumpkin carver. All total I have won almost $200 in gift cards for my creations over the years. I also have two pumpkins on extremepumpkins.com.
So by normal standards this pumpkin was pretty tame.

It’s like normal carving, only faster and more dangerous
cuttin’ eyes
we had to use a knife for the details

(for the record I took the blade off the saw before letting the boy hold it, safety first)
just a couple of dudes and a jack-o-lantern
