I have all the components needed to lift the lid of my toe pincher, speed controller wiper motor and all. I just need suggestions on how I should go about lifting the lid itself. Should I build a circular type cog that drops on one side? And if so, does any one have a picture or blueprint handy...

The Colorado Haunters Group got together yesterday and made leering Skeletons on toe pinchers. Thanks Spookydave for hosting.

I've been meaning to make a few coffins for years, never got around to it, last month I found a local factory that put out their old pallets and decided with such a wonderful source of wood I really needed to get started. First a ground breaker coffin to cut my teeth on. With that...

not really as a look but as a build I have tried to build one on and off for a few years this years with my hearse, I sure thought I needed on but as usual not with out it problems I decided to us foam an project a pattern but still I could not get those damn angles. but after a day of fiddling...

This was a real challenge. I like the look of the old toe pincher coffins. I especially love the ones that flair out from the base. I searched everywhere for a pattern that listed all the proper angles to make one but never was able to find one. So, I had to wing it. It took an entire day...

Here is my first large prop I have made with inspiration from Terra's awesome builds. I am now working on a Horse Drawn Hearse, that will roll. Doing it as I collect materials is frustrating cause I want to finish it :mad: , but that's how it has to be done. Once that's completed I want to...

Started mini coffins for this years haunt. These are based on the 6 foot Toe Pincher Coffin @ Scare FX http://www.scarefx.com/project_coffin.html

Here is my Monster in a Box Coffin made with a lid opener kit and PicoBoo controller from FrightProps.com. (along with a PIR motion sensor) This video is the coffin without fog, but it will have fog on Halloween night. The sound I made for the coffin can be downloaded here. The coffin design...

Well, I just got finished with my newest prop build. I've been wanting to make a coffin for some time now, but I never thought I could pull it off. It looked way too intimidating. Boy, was I wrong! It is actually way easier than it looks. I have had Scare FX's tutorial on how to make them...

This is my first post her so I hope I do it right. Being a DJ I recently noticed that my speaker boxes oddly resemble the shape or top of an old Toe pincher or coffin of some sort. So I decided to paint them with some wood grain effects and see what it would look like. Here are the pics...
