Thread: First Prop build of 2009

Tweet

I finished my first Prop for this year. A Coffin made from Pallets. Full size Toe Pincher from Pallets, furing strips, and a plywood back. I'm trying to decide whether to hinge the lid or not. I pulled the pallets apart on tuesday. Brought the plywood and strips home on wednesday afternoon. Worked on it till 11:00 that night. Finished everything except final assembly of the lid. Finished that today and got the screw tips ground down inside. I actually started a shiatsu hack before this one. But haven't finished it yet. Overall a fun project. I've wanteda coffin forever.

That looks awesome! I love the toe pincher style and have always wanted to do one from pallets. Great job!

I would nominate this for best use of pallets in the coffin category.

very nice! Does it weigh a ton like mine does...it gets to be a pain to move it around year after year. Is this pic in your basement? Those are really nice shelves in the background

Bury nice job Thorn kill, I mean very nice job.

Looks really great! I agree with the other poster....one of the best looking pallet coffins
And what a great workspace you have!

Love it! Making a wooden coffin is on my list this year. I'm not sure if my skills are up to it, though. Tired of the lamo carboard ones.

Looks great. How are you going to use it on Halloween?

For a self-proclaimed Novice, this is a great start. You appear to have hit the hardest thing for some builders, a sense of proportion. This will look awesome in a Graveyard setting.

That looks nice.
