Thread: Coffin Project - 2009 Legend of the Wood

Tweet

This is our latest project in preparation for Halloween 2009. This is a toe pincher coffin that is based on the plans from ScareFX.

This was a cool project that came out very well. It looks very realistic.

Take a look at the side by side comparison to a cardboard coffin that was purchased for $49. The cost to build the wooden coffin was around $40.

Looks great!! And just in time

Thanks for the feedback Glass Eye.

Yeah just in time, after all it is only 334 days until Halloween...lol..

Real nice!

Thanks for the feedback Bohica. The project was a lot of fun and we were pleased with the results.

Used the same process for a toe pincher I built for 2008, however the lid is made of weathered pallets that I got for free. Taking them apart was a pain as I wanted to preserve the length of the slats and this meant that there was a lot of nail pulling. The old nail holes added to the rustic appearance of the coffin. I'll post some pictures when I get home. The sides and bottom were made out of 1/4" plywood, painted black and really highlights the top and hides my mechanics/pnuematics inside for my pop-up skeleton.

Thanks for the feedback and I would love to see how yours turned out. Let me know when you post the pics.

That came out great! Looks much better than the carboard one! I'm suprised it was cheaper to make though.

Thanks Junit....Yeah I was surprised on the cost also. Puts into perspective how much they are making on the cardboard version...
