Curve top casket

I’m nearly done with my curve top casket. What a nightmare! I used someone’s concept plans for building one. They definitely were concept plans. My learning curve wasn’t a curve, it was a steep cliff and I had a heck of a time making the thing work.

Everyone takes a turn in the box.

I have a pic of the bottom in my 2010 Halloween album. I haven't gotten taken a pic of the top yet as it is only half stained. I should be done tonight though.

Many people are too lazy to navigate to the pic section, so here's what he's talking about.

It's not laziness, its ignorance. I 've never posted a pic that way. I apologize for my ......hmmm...lack of knowledge.

Well I sorta uploaded the picture. Unfortunately, this reminds me of my casket….it’s only half right.

I used Scott’s toe pincher plans to build a toe pincher coffin. It came out super and Scott’s got his act together and his plans were easy to follow and easy to build(see photo). I liked his pincher so much I collapsed it into a rectangle to create the casket bottom for my curve top.

The top well…..was another matter.
