"Hi! This is Vincent Laporta for Expert Village. Okay, time to push the pieces out. Realize that as you cut, start removing pieces, you're weakening the pumpkin, so just be aware of that. We can clean this up. I'll show you how to clean it up afterwards. Always use the pattern as a reference. Remember when you have the large pieces, you can cut yourself some lines so that the piece comes out and it gives you a little bit better play. So if you can remove the pieces a little bit smaller, they don't have to be as large like I did here. I can take this piece out right now. Like I said, you don't want to break it. The thing is that the pieces like this that are connected here and the head right here, that's your weak point. If you're relieving the pressure on it then this makes it that you're not going to break it and you're not going to have to start over. Let's finish this piece. I have one more after this, and then we'll do a clean up and I'll give you some tips about your pumpkin of preserving it. That was the last cut for the pumpkin. The only that we have to do now is clean up. "
