Pumpkin Carving Done Easy

I’ve never been a fan of carving pumpkins but my wife and children love it so I found a quick and easy way to get it done.

First cut the top of the pumpkin and gut as usual.  Once cleaned out grab a drill and a 1/2 inch to 1 inch spade bit (based on pumpkin size).  Use the spade bit to “drill/carve” out the eyes.  Either use the same bit for a round nose or a smaller spade bit if you want to do a triangular one (three holes).

For the mouth simple do a line of continuous holes close together.  Use a knife to cut the little pumpkin that remains between the holes.

Total time for actual carving,  2 minutes.  Carving a pumpkin with power tools?  Priceless.
