Hi! I'm Vincent Laporta on behalf of Expert Village. Let's get started. We're going to
take our large blade tool and we're going to carve the top of our lid for our pumpkin.
As we start to carve, we're going to make it round enough. We're not going to go too
big, but we are going to make sure that we cut the cut at angles. The reason why we cut
at an angle is so that as the pumpkin sits there and it starts to age. If we just cut
it straight, then what would happen is the lid will drop straight in. This way here when
it's at angle it sits on its sides, and we're also going to make sure that the carve like
a little tooth in the back here. You'll see what I mean, so that we're always putting
the lid in the actual position that it belongs. After we cut the lid and we clean out the
pumpkin and we get finished, what we will do is we'll also cut a hole into the back
of the lid so that where the candle is lit it'll put a burn mark in this way here. It's
like a vent to let out the heat so it doesn’t burn the inside of the lid. I'll be showing
you that in further clips.
