Thread: Pallet wood toe-pincher Coffin

Yeah makes sense. Just gotta nab a motor will be the next big part =l

Great how-to, and considering the fact that I passed a sign advertising "FREE PALLETS" on my way home yesterday, I know what I'll be doing soon!

My husband and I were just discussing building a real coffin 2 days ago after our fold-up heavy cardboard one got a little soggy from the fog machine during our haunt. This is a fantastic idea. "Oh, Honey. I have another "item" for your list this year"........... :OE

BTW Terra, we LOVE your tomestones and can't wait to stretch our artistic muscles with the help of your tutorials. THANK YOU!!

Have fun. Remember the Sawzall will be a big help. Those nails are a pain!

What would we do without 'da hubby? Just told mine today, "Honey, tomorrow night after work I need you to help me bring the slammer, pipes and haunt cart down to the basement." Hubbys are so handy

You said it....a Sawzall is the only way to go when you are taking pallets apart! After I cut through the spiral nails, I used a small punch to knock out the nail heads. Pretty time consuming, but getting free, aged wood is worth it....!

I used a bunch of pallets to make a couple of coffins, a treasure chest and several other props this year for my Haunted Pirate ship display....

I totally need to invest in a Sawzall! I took mine apart (with the help of my hubby, some truck drivers and "The Shop Guy" at work- LOL) using hammer & pry-bar. Talk about a b*tch !!!

Terra - I just love your work. I bow to your awesomeness!
