Molly going bonkers attacking the water made the entire video. We need more Molly please! 😂
I think so too
Molly so adorable, she beautiful.
One of my old labradors used to love biting the water from the hose. Just jet her in the face and shed just go at it forever. I even tied it up on the tree and just left it spraying and shed be out there all day.
Says everyone at a rave
We call those paddle bits
Ben: this isn't a good idea
Ben's dog: BEST DAY EVER! 😂
😂
Molly is the MVP of this episode. She did everything she set out to do.
😂 before we started filming we contemplated keeping her inside as it was getting late, I’m so glad we didn’t
Ben because of you I have gotten closer to my father doing epoxy resin we made a table as a memorial for my mom thank you very much good sir
I’m sorry for your loss Jordan, take care
❤
Omg this video cracked me up. When the dog started biting the water I lost it. You guys are fun.
😂 yeah Molly is Awesome!
I've never been more afraid for someone doing pumpkin carving!
And why did you by the most solid pumpkin in Australia?😆Happy Halloween!
😂
🤣
Hey Ben do you guys not do pumpkin carving where your at?
@@kurtdenean5454 Fuck no. Its Australia, not America :D
Yes I was scared for the two of you trying to cut that pumpkin. Lol
Growing up my parents took me to a pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin and then helped me carve it. Sometimes kids had pumpkin carving parties too. So I take it for granted that people know how to carve a pumpkin. I have never seen someone try to figure it out from scratch before and it’s fascinating.
Pumpkin parties sound really cool
It’s really fun to watch what everyone else is making!
@@BensWorx Most schools have an art activity during class where they either carve or (more often) paint pumpkins. It’s a pretty big cultural thing for our kids. You wouldn’t usually carve them by yourself as an adult, it’s a social thing.
If you get interested in carving pumpkins here are a few tips:
1. Step one is cutting the lid. As many people have said it’s best to angle the cut so it rests solidly. You don’t have to do a circle either- I like a zig zag.
2. Hollow it out using something scoopy like a big rounded spoon or ice cream scoop
3. Roasted pumpkin seeds are like a tasty reward for finishing your pumpkin.
4. They make carving kits with useful tools like thin serrated knives for detail work and chisels of various shapes.
5. Remember there will be a light inside. You don’t always have to cut all of the way through to the other side. If you remove the orange skin from some areas and leave the yellow flesh, it will glow but more dimly than the areas you cut all of the way through. You can use this effect to add shading of various levels- the deeper you cut the brighter it will appear.
6. Use toothpicks to attach pumpkin chunks like cat ears, eyebrows, or any 3d shape you want.
7. If you want to use a real candle make sure there is a hole for the smoke to come out and oxygen to move through or it will burn out. Usually I just cut a notch out of the lid at the back.
8. I should have put this first! Choose the right pumpkin. A fun shape and a variety that’s easier for carving. I don’t know if you have any farms that grow pumpkins (presumably in april or March in Australia?) but picking your own from a field is the best. We used to get apples and other fall produce in the same visit and it was a yummy time.
9. Exacto knife + pumpkin = carving injuries.
If you get into it I’d love to see more videos!
best halloween ever 😆
Thanks for the walkthrough, it will help a lot 😊
That is a baking pumpkin, not a carving pumpkin. You cut in half, scoop out, bake till soft then use it to make a pumpkin pie. The pumpkin seeds are great for the dog. They are a super food and a natural defense against worms and parasites. I put them in all my pups food. No salt for the puppy. For you clean up the seeds, soak in saltwater overnight. Then season and bake until crunchy. I carve my pumpkins using a dremel.
Thanks for the info Ellen 👍
Bugger the pumpkin pie, gimme pumpkin soup any day! 🤣😄🤣
Those seeds are great toasted and lightly salted! Eat them like potato chips. Really good for you.
We like to roast pumpkin seeds when we carve ours too
More of the actual nutritional advice, less of the "superfood" mumbo jumbo.
This is the hardest pumpkin I have ever seen! Watching you two tackle it is a blast! Love how much fun you have together!
You guys are so adorable carving a pumpkin together for the first time. Halloween is definitely a family affair in the US with the kids and everyone. But they have safer pumpkin carving tools for kids nowadays lol.
Honestly your cute pup was the best part of this though! She had a great time helping with the pressure washer! 💖
Thankyou! I can’t wait for next year so we can try this again
@@BensWorxif you do pumpkin carving try to get ahold of one of the carving kits with the small plastic handled carving tools. They look small and don’t cost too much but they cut thru the pumpkin so much easier than most household knives. Way safer too. Also scraping the insides out until the walls are about .5-.75 inch then start carving the outsides. makes it a lot easier to scrape the insides out too.
Concratulations, ben! You have managed to expertly demonstrate why people typically carve pumpkins with a knife! 😋
I’ve never seen a baking pumpkin carved out before but y’all did AWSOME! I really had to comment because your dog was a wonderful & funny addition to this video🤩 You both are so engaging & your bubbling personalities are a treasure🥰
For the top, you should stand the pumpkin upright and cut down at an inward angle so that the top fits and holds in place after carving it out. And, speaking of carving, a nice heavy duty spoon works best.
That's how I did it when I was young. Also, if you carve it an irregular circle, then you have only one way to set it on.
i love the videos with nicole! you two are the cutest couple! also, an ice cream scoop makes the best pumpkin-guts-remover. finally, dogs can eat pumpkin seeds, but they're high in fat so.... not too many, not too often.
Thanks Becky! That’s good to know 👍
Yes! Love the vids with her too!!
most horrifying thing I've seen this Halloween! 😂 Just glad everyone come out of this with the correct amount of fingers. Can't wait to see how it holds up. Molly sure had a good time!
😂
I love that you're working with Mrs. Worx on some projects!
Me too 😊
That was really cool. Seeing you and Nicole carving your pumpkin together, such a lovely couple. Loved your gorgeous dog Molly too, so funny.
Thankyou 😊
The three of you had fun💯😁
Went okay on that one👏🏻
Thanks Mate 😊
The dog was the best part of the video. The comment about knife accidents brought back some painful memories. I haven't carved a pumpkin since I nearly cut my thumb off with a hobby knife probably ten years ago, but the resin coating idea might get me to carve one again. Looking forward to seeing how well the preservation goes. Thanks!
That is a really hard pumpkin. I've never seen one that acted like a rock.
we call it "dry wall" because it is a replacement for plaster walls which is applied wet
Ahh that makes sense
Ben & Nichole, I think this is my favorite video that you've ever done, and I have been watching for a long time. What an absolute blast. You perfectly captured the fun and enthusiasm that I remember from when I was a child and we (my whole family) would sit and carve pumpkins together for Halloween. Thank you!!!
Thankyou 😊
Usually the top is cut around the stem and gutted and not straight across the top. Also it's gutted before carved.
0:45 yeah, nick made quite the mess.
But the pumpkin turned out pretty well.
Such a cute little pumkin. It lasted longer on the drill than I expected.
Yeah I honestly thought 5 seconds and it would be over 😂
@BensWorx how long was it? I guessed 40 seconds
It fun watching you and your wife working together and having fun
I love when you and Nicole work together 💗 God bless you both and your family ❤️🙏
Small pumpkin and a box cutter is really challenging. Here in the states Halloween does start as a family fun time when you're young, but in teenage years it is a friend gathering event.
That’s cool
My grandfather used to grow the pie pumpkins like that (only a bit bigger). They grow on running vines, and made the best pies.
Definitely be watching in a couple months to see how it lasted.
I love the teamwork in this video, it was so SO sweet hearing how you work together.
Also Molly is so cute
Loved the pup attacking the water
This has to be one of the most hilarious videos I've watched in a long time. You two are AWESOME!!! Take care and much love from Colorado!!
Great video. Love watching you and Nicole work and have fun together! Pumpkin carving is a great family activity 🎃
Thankyou
6:05 no idea but if I were you I'd let the pumpkin live, he's not going down easy, even though you made a medieval torture contraption 😂
😅 best comment ever
That pumpkin was hard to carve because you used a pie pumpkin. The larger ones are for carving but if you don't celebrate Halloween there they may not sell them. Entertaining all the same LOL thanks!
Thanks Wendy, the big orange ones only pop up around Halloween 🎃
I haven't seen any like the ones shown in the American videos. The supermarkets have big boxes of the ones Ben used in various sizes. We don't really make pumpkin pie here but I love making pumpkin soup and roast pumpkin.
@@BensWorxcould you imagine using a jarhah pumpkin, it's really dense?
@@ctempleman1401 The pumpkins used for pies are smaller and meatier with less seeds. The larger carving pumpkins have LOTS of seeds, less meat and tend to be more fiberous.
@@wendynorell1133 maybe next year Australia will get proper carving pumkins. 🎃
I'm looking forward to the the next video of the pumpkins to see how they survived. 🙂
Hope you enjoyed Halloween.
Molly is so cute! I also love it when Nicole helps with projects, it's just really nice to see you having fun together 😊
i loved watching you booth working together , you guys are amazing
Thankyou
Growing up it is typically a family thing. A friend of mine has had some pumpkin carving parties inviting friends to bring their kids. I’ve been to a few with 20-30 pumpkins ready for carving that night.
Another thing that works nicely to carve them is a hood old dremel.
That sounds like a fun party
That was so much fun. Thank you for the laughs! 😂 We used to carve pumpkins with our kids. They are both teenagers now, and too old. They stopped trick or treating also. 😢 Time keeps moving along. The pumpkin turned out great!! 😊💜
Thanks Mel, yeah time flies 😊
i want more videos with you two, i really love how you have so much confidence in each other. as for the pumpkin, i love this one more, and with the candle led is perfect! it's so cute
That was the most entertaining pumpkin carving I've ever seen! 😆
They make pumpkin carving tools that are similar to push cut jigsaw blades for curve cutting that are stuck in a little file type handle. You hold them like a pencil and saw out your pattern. It goes quick and you can do intricate stuff. I’ve done pretty intricate carvings, like for a party once i carved in a jack danials label, i would even carve the back to project something on the wall behind the pumpkin. I haven’t done a really complex one in a few years but if that works maybe i would do one again. Thin sliced pumpkin dries out in like a day. I used to cover the cuts with petroleum jelly and when not on display plastic wrap to make it last for maybe 3 days.
This pumpkin came out so cute. It's really nice to see you Nicole! You really need to do more videos with Ben. You two get along so beautifully. Yes in our family we all had a pumpkin to carve. We would cut then open for the kids and let them start cleaning them out. I use to take the pumpkin seeds and take all the stringy bits off and then pat them dry. Then use a tiny bit of oil and usually a seasoned spice and would mix it all together and roast them in the oven. Mmm so good. You two did a amazing job on this little guy. It looks like it is just growing in its first baby teeth. It's fitting for a baby pumpkin.
Absolutely fun video Ben!!!! And your dog trying to catch the pumpkin bits made me feel all the feels! So freaking cute!!!!
Honestly, this was one very fun video to watch. I laughed out loud multiple times. Thanks for trying different things. Can’t wait to see what it looks like in three months.
Ben, you and your family are welcome to come up here and spend next Halloween with us in the Midwest. We have a pumpkin festival, and my brother runs the local pumpkin processing plant. I forget sometimes that not everyone has done the pumpkin thing. 😊
Looks like y'all had fun! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the laughs! Was watching over breakfast. Made for a great start to the day.
Teamwork is how the dream woks. Love to see you both together
That was hilarious watching you guys carve a pumpkin. I didnt realize there were techniques until see what you did lol very inventive and creative techniques! Love the video, love you guys!
Oh the pumpkin turned out great!! I love it, great job guys❤
Thankyou
Very cool! We carved our pumpkins on Sunday using some serrated tools we got at Target.
I really enjoy these videos! I'm glad to see Nicole in more of them! 😊
Wow!!! I think some of your best videos are projects you and Nicole do together....this and the previous ones in the "Pumpkin Series" are AMAZING!!!!Thanks for sharing your talent with us all. You are so talented.
Maurice from Canada
Your pup trying to catch that pesky water stream was so adorable! Hope she got a treat for her good efforts!
Nice to see both of you enjoying the same thing.
This video was hilarious, you two are adorable.
That turned out so great!! And Molly with the water was hilarious 😅
I was coming to the comments to suggest a drywall saw, then you pulled one out. That’s the best tool for getting into a pumpkin without injury [short of a Dremel].
Yeah it worked a treat
You two are great. Thanks for the video.
So many fails and bad ideas, but I've got to compliment you on persistence, you sure didn't give-up no matter what!
the anguish in watching this, someone needs to send Ben a proper carving kit
I bet it comes out Gourd-geous
You guys are such an awesome team!! Love these videos with both of you. 😊
Thankyou
Roasted pumpkin seeds are fab as a snack for us diabetics ❤
Love watching you both together it's lovely
I was wondering if you had seen Nick’s video when I saw the title of this one. Wheeling the contraption outside was a good idea. Hell, moving the entire process outside was a good idea! Your dog is so cute!
Martha Stewart used a drill to carve pumpkins about twenty years ago, but she wasn’t trying to make a face. She had drawn a lantern design on the outside of different types of squash and was drilling the holes in the design. I remember thinking that she had finally lost her mind.
Thanks Shirley! 😊
The finished pumpkin looks like it’s ceramic. I can’t wait for the results of this experiment!
Pumpkin carving is definitely a family affair in Canada. In my family, we get a pumpkin for each of the kids, and they get to carve their own designs. And the parents do a bigger one.
He's adorable! Love the little toofers! I like watching the two of you working together.
Best way to spend HALLOWEEN night!! Watching you guys carve that pumpkin was just priceless! Thanks for all your content... you're fantastic!
Yes, BTW, in the States, we do have family pumpkin carving nights, and we roast & eat the seeds too!
I was so anxious when you were trying to carve out the mouth with a utility knife, I could hardly watch!😳 The drywall saw was definitely the better choice! Here in the US, lots of stores sell pumpkin carving kits that come with tools that are relatively safe for kids to use and patterns to make all kinds of fun, spooky designs. We actually have a big bin filled with our pumpkin carving tools and a huge binder of patterns! I like to cut out the bottom of the pumpkin instead of the top, it looks neater and it's much easier to put the candle in!
You two are so much fun. I'm sure you both laughed the whole time. Even with all the trouble, the little guy looks great. I hope it last a long while. Molly was enjoying the water. Thanks Ben and Nicole.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻🎃
I didn't think that was going to last long on your homemade lathe. I throughly enjoyed watching you and Nicole work on that pumpkin. You both looked like you were having a lot of fun. Molly seemed to get into it as well. Thanks for a fantastic video Ben and Nicole!
Fun video. You both seem to have a great time.
This was so much fun to watch. 😊 Especially your dog, she’s great. 😄
In a word "Ingenious".
The dog had me lol.
I thoroughly enjoyed this incredible. Thank you two so much. You really made my day.
Thankyou 😊
The dog!!! Lmao omg that scene made my night. He looked so alarmed😂
😂
This video was an adventure! I have never seen someone carve a pumpkin like this.
Here in the US you can buy a pumpkin carving kit that comes with a blade similar to a jigsaw blade and it’s great for the carving. You’re basically sawing through the pumpkin instead of trying to cut it. It’s way safer than trying to cut with a knife. Also, we call plasterboard or Sheetrock drywall here so that’s why that knife is called a drywall knife.
This was so wholesome! I loved it, great Halloween video ❤️🎃
Oh my oh my that home made turning machine was hilarious!! then the whole video was hilarious. i cant wait to see the results down the track.
I love how the dog was really enjoying the pressure washer!
I love Halloween, but I haven't dressed up or handed out candy for years. When my kids were in school, and at one of my jobs, we would dress up. This will be the first Halloween where all 3 of us are in the same house (they insisted on having me move in with them due to my mobility issues. Both my kids are over 30 and single (never married, no kids).
Happy Halloween, you certainly had a great time with that one
Give Molly the pumpkin she’ll get into it 🤣👍
I think others have covered this but thought I'd still have a go in case I tell you something new. That's the wrong kind of pumpkin, that one is for baking. Carving pumpkins are much bigger and less dense. If you thump them, it should sound hollow. That's because they have less seeds and guts, but a larger area for them.
You should remove the innards first, then carve. We always use a hole saw to cut a circle out (we cut ours on bottom, then you can set them on top of the light). And we use a blade drill to clean out the insides, the stringy parts will just wrap around it and pull right out. You will then only have a little bit left to clean out. A large metal serving spoon works great for getting the last of it cleaned out. Ive also seen someone use a garden trowel.
Then you should be able to carve it with a small serrated knife. They actually sell pumpkin carving kits for kids in the states that have plastic serrated tools to carve with. That's how easy it should be.
Lastly, the pumkin flesh is very good for your dog. Many homemade dogfood recipes include pumpkin puree. We sometimes roast a small pumpkin and give the cut up pieces to our dogs as treats. They love it. We have even cut it thin and dehydrated it for them, buts that's a lot if work.
The seeds are also great for the dog as well as you. Toasted pumpkin seeds are a tasty and nutritional snack. My favorite things to do with pumpkin seeds are to use in homemade granola or granola bars, in trail mix, or as a crunchy topping on a salad. 😋
Nice work
Loved this video. Mainly because you two together are super funny 🤣
The entire family is nuts, dog included.
I love watching your videos but I am glad you are so far away.
OMG!! Ben! you have the worlds toughest pumpkin!
Your doggo definitely stole the show! 🎃😂😍
Here in Kentucky I always cut the top out in the diagonal and that makes when you put the top back on, it sets into a pocket and won't slide around
I just finished using a sawzall to carve a pumkin and an angle grinder with a wire wheel attachment to gut the inside. The angle grinder was a little messy, but I carved the pumkin in just over 3 minutes
Pumpkin carving is a family tradition in the states. Wish I could share the pic of my family’s creations. Yours was fun to watch!
Lol how cute was the dog catching the water in the background
I love molly!! Such a great job ben and nicole!! I love how you're pumpkin came out!!
this episode was so cute :) i can tell yall were having fun
It was a blast
This may have been the most wholesome Halloween video I've ever seen. Y'all are awesome!
It's one of the funniest videos I've seen . It's interesting but extremely funny at the same time .😊
Thankyou 😊
😂😂 molly chomping the water is hysterical 😂😂
Looked like something great to enjoy time together
