Default Scream1973's Entry

These are nothing special but since i just finished building them i figured why not.

Built from ScareFXs plans http://64.226.23.133/woodycarr/scare..._coffin_2.html

Parts list (per coffin) ( Pricing in CAD)
15 x 1"x6"x6' Fence Boards 2.50 a piece = 37.50
1 lbs of 1.25" floor screws -$4.99 lbs
4 x Chest Pulls - $5.00 each = $20.00 (Used on one coffin)
4 x Ring Pulls - $3.00 Each = $12.00 ( Used on other coffin)

Total for 1 Coffin - $62.50

Those are way cool. Are you going to age the handles?

Actually thats a great thought to age the handles. Hadn't really given it much thought but I think thats a great idea to give it some extra ummff..

Actually yes they are his and hers so to speak. lol.. some people looked at me strange when they asked what i did on the weekend and i said built the wife a coffin ..

Those look really good.

Great job.

I don't know if this would help but if you load the pics into Paint on your computer, you can edit the size by going to Edit and click on Select All then go to Image and Stretch/Skew. You can cut the horizontal and vertical by 50% and that should make the size more manageable.

I hope this helps.
