OK, Here is the last part of my pallet wood toe-pincher coffin. Again, I've learned some lessons so I suggest you check out the tutorial at my albums to get the latest info (can't edit these posts after a few days).

Here is the links to the three part tutorial:

Halloween Forum - Terra's Album: Pallet toe-pincher coffin
Halloween Forum - Terra's Album: Pallet toe-pincher coffin Part II
Halloween Forum - Terra's Album: Pallet toe-pincher coffin Part III

In the future I will add two more touches to the coffin: A large lock and a coat-of-arms.




Adding rope handles, hinges and chains:



To make the rope handles measure and mark two holes 7 inches apart halfway up from the bottom of the coffin. Get it as close to the angled part of the coffin as you can.







Drill out with a 7/8 bit.







Buy 10 feet of 5/8 inch manila rope at Home Depot. Cut into four lengths (2 1/5 feet each). Insert one rope into the hole and knot. Repeat for the other side.







Put two handles on each side of the coffin.








Screw in three 4-inch black strap hinges (gate hinges) onto the long side of the coffin.
