Thread: How to do a Toe-Pincher!

Tweet

HELP! I need directions on how to make one. Just the lid to start with. I am attempting to make props but I am really clueless and could use your help! What am i suppose to be doing???
THANKS!

What are you making the coffin for? It makes a difference as you can make so many variations. You could make it solid, or use slats, and probably about a hundred other variations. Once you figure out what you want to do it'll be easier.

Do you have access to pallets? Get a bunch of those, take them apart and save the boards. I can't think of how to put it into words at the moment, but I'm sure if you do a search for toe pincher on the forum, you would find a few tutorials for sure.

Pallet Toe Pincher Coffin

There ya go.

I have these old woods that were once a fence. Spookyone gave them to my Mom but I took them from her. hhehehehe.. I am looking to make mostly the lid of it. and then maybe a prop kind where it looks like it coming out of the ground.

Old fence boards would work well. See the link I gave you for help. Or do a quick search for toe pincher as titles only.

Sweetie, my computer is too slwo for me to check it out via YouTube.

Ok well the best thing I can suggest is to do an advanced search , searching titles only, for toe pincher. That's what I did and I'm sure after a couple threads you look into, you can find something on here.

Here's the plans I used:

It's the "Buried Alive" type of coffin, not a full-length one. Old fence boards are precious - it's hard to duplicate the aged look.

Here's a tutorial I found:

Hopes this helps .
