I read the title and instantly had a flashback to Evan & Katelyn's pumpkin Francis (and yearly subsequent pumpkin resin experiments) lol I'm really impressed how resilient the butternut squash is!

@detliskenvondematkos 7 месяцев назад

That is, what I was thinking of. 😂

@AmKhaibitu 7 месяцев назад

One cannot forget Francis and his degradation.

@ctempleman1401 7 месяцев назад

It might be because the butternut pumpkin is so much smaller. I always wondered when I saw their videos if they used a smaller version would it have worked better? Their pumpkins are always so big. Hilarious outcomes though.😂

@detliskenvondematkos 7 месяцев назад

@@ctempleman1401 I think it’s not the sitze. I think it’s more the texture and the water content of the Butternut. It is more solid.

@ctempleman1401 7 месяцев назад

@@detliskenvondematkos didn't know that because we have a pumpkin here called jarah it is so much harder than the butternut. I usually buy pumpkin in slices, half a butter nut or a slice of jarah. I prefer cutting the butternut. 😄

@emuwarrior7490 7 месяцев назад

Look forward to seeing the 1 year update. The more rotten it gets. The better the Halloween effect is.

@TheConwoman3 7 месяцев назад

That is so cool. Using the butternut was a good idea. The skin is harder than a regular pumpkin. Looks like a head in a jar! I think the bubbles make it look more creepy. ❤❤❤❤

@lozking9568 7 месяцев назад

I love how the sharpie smudged and looks like smoke, makes it look like there’s an actual candle burning inside it causing the smoke!

@StonerSmurfin 7 месяцев назад

The only issue I can see is the air gap under the lid that MAY be an issue in the future. If you ever do it again maybe put some holes in the top to allow it to fully fill with resin but it looks pretty good as it stands.

@Drummerchef13 7 месяцев назад

Evan and Katelyn did that last year and it was chaotic but seemed to help

@texanasimmons1761 7 месяцев назад

It might not be a true pumpkin but it made a pretty awesome jack-o-lantern lamp! I wondered if you put it into a vacuum chamber, it would have removed more of the air reduce the bubbles? Anyway, it looks great!

@jbtdmc 7 месяцев назад

Been a LONG TIME since I have been in Australia (1986 to bury my Fiancee in Tenant Creek), a “Butternut Pumpkin” is an Aussie-ism that I actually remember. We Yankees call them “Butternut Squash”. So you bring back memories.

@Merennulli 7 месяцев назад

Regarding knife cuts - I think you're probably right because they sell a "pumpkin knife" here that is basically a thick aluminum saw blade with totally rounded edges to ensure nobody can cut themselves on it. Since pumpkins are a relatively squishy material it just pokes through about as easily as a regular knife. Just with a much larger kerf, obviously, but that doesn't matter with carving a pumpkin.

@deviationfluxer 7 месяцев назад

Nicely done Ben!!! Once again you've worked your magic!! And now Nicole has been in your videos two weeks in a row!! You guys are both so talented. Always look forward to your videos. Keep working the magic!!!

@donaldfinch1411 7 месяцев назад

@craftydemon529 7 месяцев назад

I like the effect from the seeping ink on the face (though I'm guessing unintentional) It gives it a little spookyness

@johannaverplank4858 7 месяцев назад

That’s a big squash! I’ve never used one for a Jack-O-Lantern before. It turned out super cute.

@deezwaffles558 7 месяцев назад

Evan and Katelyn on youtube have been trying to do this for a while so if you ever do this again you should see what they've done just so you dont waste your time and resources (i havent watched the video yet)

Ben, long time follower. I always look forward to your videos as your work is incredible and you are such a sweet person. I’ve looked at your shop several times over the years and never bought anything as shipping costs to the US are a bit high (totally understandable) but today is the day I actually bought something. I owe it to you for all the entertainment you’ve provided me over the years. I’m excited to get my blue starry night egg 😊 thanks in advance!!!

@der_kluger_gunther8391 7 месяцев назад

So i love how it was such a cute pumpkin and after just finishing it looked absolutely scary af! Like the black marker got way loose and the effect is just unreal. I noticed after 6 months, the base is kind of green so it will be cool to see it after a couple of months or years as well.

@XxBlackXephosxX 7 месяцев назад

i really like how the heat from the resin (at least i think thats what caused it) made the marker start to wear off, gives the eyes and mouth a bit of a smokey feel which makes it kinda spooky looking

@mickfitz76 7 месяцев назад

Carve it out from the bottom is best. Do the pour with the pumpkin upside down so the head fills up completely no air pockets. Sort the base out last. Sort of doing it all in reverse.

@ctempleman1401 7 месяцев назад

That is a great idea. I thought pouring through the top opening but your way is so much better.

@rtist9281 7 месяцев назад

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m totally cool seeing this again when pumpkins are in season there in Australia. 😊 As the original jack-o’-lantern, a turnip would be interesting as well. Honestly, I’ve throughly enjoyed all the these “preserved” fruits of yours. ❤

@j.b.3535 7 месяцев назад

You have a reusable Jack-o-lantern. 10 years from now you can still use it.

@Quickened1 7 месяцев назад

I immediately said "no, don't turn it" in my head, then you said you left them in! The large bubbles made this piece! Personally, I might have used food coloring to dye the skin orange, but otherwise, bloody brilliant, and yeah, I think it's good for the future archeologists Ben!

@hedgewitch94 7 месяцев назад

Yours came out the best I've seen so far.. If you really wanted to amp it up I can think of a few more steps that might take more time but you'd have a clearer casting with less chance of bubbles and pulling from shrinkage. Always love watching you tho it's soothing for some reason

@meleilers1975 7 месяцев назад

@AmKhaibitu 7 месяцев назад

After seeing other resin pumpkin attempts, I get concerned about the internal void under the lid and the inevitable bubble.

@sparkyprojects 7 месяцев назад

There's probably some air trapped under the lid, wonder if that's going to affect the rotting process eventually, should have poked a breather hole before casting If you do something like this again with the wire, carve a short slot in the underside of the resin base to allow the cable to bend as you take it out, did you forget release agent ? One idea would be to wrap the cable around the base with tape and turn just the top into a curve ;)

@ruewynnbishop 7 месяцев назад

@SBDScott 7 месяцев назад

Pouring the resin in, in a way that there was a hole at the highest point on the pumpkin to void out as much air as possible from the pumpkin may have reduced the small amount of shrinkage/decay that did happen. It was Cool to see how well it held up, even with some air still inside the pumpkin.

@SAOS451316 7 месяцев назад

That's a good first jack-o-lantern! Next time you might want to try a washable marker because permanently marker is hard to get off without damaging the pumpkin.

@wolflinggon5664 7 месяцев назад

A touch of rubbing alcohol takes it off no issue. Been using it for years and it doesn’t seem to affect the pumpkin

@SAOS451316 7 месяцев назад

@@wolflinggon5664 Oh thanks! I entirely forgot that was a thing that works and went right for stronger solvents lol.

@tristangold2772 7 месяцев назад

What you could do is seal the inside with resin first so there is less bubbles. You put hot glue or tape on the outside of the eyes, nose and mouth. Then fill inside with resin. Then don't carve the flesh from the top of the pumpkin. Then when it's cured you can put it back into the bucket and fill the rest up. Evan and katelyn on RU-vid did a resin pumpkin and it's lasted years 😂

@DZmakes 7 месяцев назад

This was neat. I do have a suggestion: Go ahead and buy (and fill with resin) a pumpkin now, for next years video. That way you can do a 1 year update on both! Also, another suggestion, place micro holes (approximately the size of tooth picks) to allow any trapped air to release from the top of the pumpkin head.

@clarewillison9379 7 месяцев назад

When you left the Sharpie around the cut out features I thought it was a mistake but then the resin dissolved the alcohol and made it even more awesome. Kind of like a bald Alice Cooper (out of his gourd). 👏🏼🎃👏🏼
