Pumpkin Carving with Adam Bierton

Make this the year you have the spookiest jack-o'-lantern on the block with the help of expert sculptor-and the winner of Food Network's "Halloween Wars"-Adam Bierton.

I love How you keep saying " make sure an adult is with you " like we're not all 30 year old desperately trying new hobbies !

Thank you Sir, that was very easy to follow, and your results are amazing! I'm a 53yr old Grandad educating myself, ready for my 5yr old grandson coming this morning, and we're going to have fun carving our very first pumpkins together 🎃🔪🕯👻 here in North Yorkshire, England 🙏🙋🏻‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@joewella7465]

You and I went to school together in 9th grade! Who knew a career carving pumpkins was possible back in freshman year! Congrats Adam. I'll try and make u proud with my pumpkin - Joelle

[@pitilessnightmare6879]

Hope Adam sees this 😊

[@adambierton]

Joelle! Do it! Can’t wait to see!

"Make sure you have an adult with you" Me in my 30s: Ok i'll see who I can find since I know I don't qualify.

[@larcomj]

Duuuuuuude this is awesome. ive never been so excited to carve a pumpkin. now lets see how bad i can jack this up.

[@shaneshelnutt2422]

Most effective tip? Lemon juice and water spray..I finish with aquifer lotion to rub the peeled parts to prolong decay from happening.

[@dianalee7746]

“Don’t take it too seriously” ... immediately after takes out a slew of carving tools lol 😆

Love this! Thank You So much! That avocado scoop is a great tool to use... I would have loved to see how you made the teeth and eyes! Happy Halloween

[@core0ptix652]

Thanks so much for this! This is incredibly helpful and I can't wait to use what I've learned on my pumpkin. Cheers!

I'm carving punkins tonight!!!!! I loveeeee carving punkins there so calming and if your bord it will take your time and it's just really fun I guss that's all I'm trying to say LOL!

[@jenniferquitugua8394]

Lol

[@josephmartinez5698]

A very nice video. I find however, that it's better to carve out the bottom of the pumpkin rather than the back. Cutting out a hole from the back can be seen (so it isn't seamless), and the backing for the hole, could fall through. Instead of water and lemon juice, there's a product called "Fruit Fresh", which can be bought at a grocery store. It's a powder that you mix with water. Used to keep salads fresh etc. But, I tried on a car rd eggplant before, and it didn't start to oxidize for over 12 hours! Also, for drawing lines on a pumpkin, the best tool I have found, is an "India Pencil". Instead of an Exacto Blade, a couple of the best knives you can use, are either a Japanese Mukimono carving knife or a Thai style carving knife. The linoleum cutter works, but there are actually a large number of carving tools that are easily purchasable online of various sizes and shapes. The linoleum cutter would be called a "V" cutter. The arms were created by Ray Villafane and can be bought online. Excellent work by the way sir!

It’s nice to see Shia LaBeouf with such a nice wholesome hobby.

[@kittycatmeowmeow963]

I've been seeing all these beautiful and adorable jack-o'-lanterns for years and have been wanting to do them. I just wish I wasn't afraid of sharp things.😔

[@akatsukiawsome13]

You can use a blunt “saw” type knife, it doesn’t have to be sharp enough to cut you! When I was a kid we had a rounded tip “knife” with teeth that wasn’t sharp at all. It worked just fine, you should try this year! 😊

[@GrandmaSandy]

Thanks for a great video and so much information in your backstory where you came from how you got involved in this great job carving those pumpkins

[@Soapboxstomper]

AWESOME!! Loved it!!

[@natashasheppard1986]

This is so awesome 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Gurusum6]

Why carve a hole in the back rather than the top? Also I've heard doing a quick bleach bath once finished helps preserve it, have you tried this?

[@79bull]

I guess so you don’t see lines where the lid is. I’m taking this as I can put the big hole anywhere I want 🤔🎃

[@akatsukiawsome13]

@@79bullI have seen people use the stem as a nice and funky nose. Definitely put the hole wherever you want! If you are making a pumpkin with a big enough mouth/background opening, you can even use that as your hole, as long as you don’t accidentally break your design holding it while carving/putting your hand in there 😅

[@akatsukiawsome13]

Did you try bleach? I’m afraid to but would love to enjoy my pumpkin I carve this year longer 😅 Leave the stem and then it can be easier to hold the pumpkin

[@Gurusum6]

​@@akatsukiawsome13 Yes, you can spritz some bleach water inside to help kill bacteria. You can also use alcohol.

[@CraftMagic1]

Great work, great design! 👍👌👏

[@adambierton]

Thanks!

[@ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣΒΟΥΓΙΟΥΚΛΗΣ]

[@chaosavylein]

Thanks for the tips. I found the first 15 Minutes of the video very slow but easy to follow and then was very disappointed to realize that the very tricky technique of adding the potato eyes and teeth were sped up so fast. Also would be great to see all tools at the end and their names. Will check your other videos. Great pumpkin though. :)

[@noire1001]

could you use white distilled vinegar instead of lemon juice? I believe it is also 5% acidic

[@KyleenDrake]

The natural shape of that pumpkin was more slender though the top making the bottom seem like it had cheeks almost. I would've made it into a Hobbs and tried to find another one that looks like Calvin.
