People have asked how we do so many pumpkins so I've taken a few photos from this morning.

Let the carnage begin:

Like the henna tattoos Patti..... very intricate! The only tatto I ever had was a henna one done at the Glastonbury Festival which I managed to smudge within 30 seconds of having it done.

Most impressed with the pumpkins though. Very nice crop!

What is the tool you are using to cut out the lids?

Also why is the gutter attachment extended?

[Patti]

The tool we're using to cut the lids is a reciprocating saw, this one is a Milwaukee Sawzall.

We put the bit extender on the pumpkin gutter to:

A) keep the goo and pumpkin bits away from the drill vents.

B) Save Wayne's back.

He gutted 60 pumpkins today, he'll do the other 40 tomorrow.

If we have enough time we'll grab a few more before Friday.

thats freeking awesome. My hubby said that he wanted to extend the gutter for that same reason. He loves his drill...

wow i really need to invest in some of those power tools and attachments it makes it look like it goes quite a bit faster

[Zombie Pumpkins!]

My what a big Pumpkin Gutter you have.

The better to disembowel you with, my dear.

Great setup you have there, Patti. With power tools and lots of experience, you clearly have the assembly method of carving down pat (no pun intended).
