t-shank jigsaw blade handle

thingiverse

This is a handle for t-shank style jigsaw blades. I was unable to find high-quality pumpkin carving tools so this is an attempt to make one using a jigsaw blade as the basis. I haven't tested it on a pumpkin yet but the blade is held solid and cut through cardboard just fine. Instructions 1) Print the handle and plug 2) Insert a t-shank jigsaw blade into the opening in the handle 3) Insert the plug to hold in the blade 4) Seal the assembly with a zip tie around the neck groove. Make sure it's tight or the blade will wobble. The plug should be a little above flush so when tied, it keeps pressure on the blade.
