Thread: First attempt at coffin

Tweet

Holy Cow! That's fantastic. Any other "first attempts" that you could share?

Thanks all, my hinges are suppost to be in Friday, so hoping to get them on and get it sanded and ready to stain by the end of the weekend, and then to do the inside. Just bought a hearse and got it running, so now I have something to put it in.

That is a nice coffin.
I built a toe pincher. I have used it for years.
I am now using it in a funeral room with an old lady sitting in a chair.
I am wanting to build a nice one like yours since a toe pincher just doesn't look right in a funeral room.
Do you have any contruction photos?

The construction of the top is what I am most interested in!!!!

No I did not take any pictures on the top while I was building it, I think I took a few of the box before I started the top. I bought some drawings that I went by. If you want to give me your mailing address I would be glad to make a copy and mail you a copy.

Very nice coffin! Where did you get the embellishments for the corners?

MsM

I got the corners and the holders for the handles at Woodworking Tools Supplies Hardware Plans Finishing - Rockler.com

Well....... if this is your first coffin, I don't want to see the fifth or tenth one you build..... I will be even more jealous of your talent! Great job!

DUDE!!!!!! scpwmp, I think you missed your calling man!! WOW Someone could make a GOOD living with your skills of coffins.... HOLY CRAP DUDE!!!

Great job where did you get the metal coreners from?
