Portercat, that makes too much sense. :grin: Grinding the back edge so you don’t have to sharpen a new cutting edge. Now I feel dumb for not thinking of that myself!

We talked about this on Facebook, but for the sake of public education... The tool I use to cut most foam pumpkins is the Walnut Hollow Creative Versa Tool (available in craft stores and on Amazon). It's technically a wood burning tool, but it has interchangeable tips. I'm using the tip that's like ...

One of the reasons I wanted to try to make a real scarecrow was because I wanted to place it in my back yard, in my pumpkin garden. But sadly, we had a very hot summer with almost no rain. My pumpkin patch got fried in the sun, and the drought resulted in no pumpkins. So I didn't bother making a sca...

Mark, I'm reviewing your scarecrow video because I'm contemplating building a new one for myself this year. The pool noodle hands are surely a good tip. That's a method I hadn't considered. If I try this myself, I'll share progress photos. Loved the video of your Halloween garden too! I recognize a ...

Sorry you were getting kicked out. That's odd. Thanks for persevering. I love seeing this yard display for half-o-ween. Wish I had thought to do this in my yard. The neighbors would probably say, "This guy is crazy" but then again, I think they know that by now. :lol: Did you get any comments or rea...

Great costume idea. Who doesn't love dinosaurs? That's why the Jurassic franchise is still going after 30 years. I don't have any personal experience with inflatable costumes, but I know they come with a small fan blower that you have to run on battery to keep them inflated. Just in case you weren't...
