I know you guys thought you'd never see the day, because I am the first to tell 'ya....I am NOT a prop-builder
But I really wanted a toe-pincher coffin for the vampire theme this year, and my sainted husband agreed to help me. So here's the weekend project, you notice that ALL the work is being done by the hubby and at best I was the "carpenter's helper". But I did help, and it went better than I could have dreamed, and I begin to understand the way this aspect of Halloween can get under your skin.
It still needs to be painted, but we just ran out of time today before it thunderstormed. Thanks for indulging me, I know this is NOTHING to what some of you guys can do, but it is mine, and I am very proud of my little coffin!!

My first coffin was made out of 1 x 2's, and cardboard. Great job!!! You SHOULD be proud.

Way to go girlie! I don't have a coffin, or anything that moves. This is looking great so far.

That looks FABULOUS!
Really, really great job. Much better than anything I could do. Who says you aren't a prop builder? You and your hubby make a great team if that's your first effort!
You MUST post pics when you get it painted!

That looks GREAT! My first big prop was a coffin built exactly like that. Still have it and use it after about ten years and it's probably my favorite prop to this day. It also makes great storage for other stuff. That really came out nice. You should be proud!

Very nice Hooch! Everybody has to start somewhere and I think you did a good job for your first try. Everything can only get better from here on.
