Product Information

After finishing high school, he took a gap year to work odd jobs and try to figure out what he wanted to do next. Clamp the plywood to a flat workbench or sawhorses so the cut lines are hanging off the edge and use your circular saw to cut out the outline of the lid.

In other words, the ‘Shelves for Life’ is a piece of furniture that will follow you on your final journey.If you want to give people a scare on Halloween, you can dress up and hide inside a coffin with a lid attached by a piano hinge, then pop out to frighten trick-or-treaters or party guests. Last, flip the coffin over and add a rib joining the floor boards together over the length of the coffin. Put the base of the coffin on the ground or a large flat work surface and lay out the side pieces around it. Particularly at the middle joint between the head (short) and toe (long) panels you will want to leave at least 2 inches to make room for the 4-inch joiner rib.

Then from the middle of each end cut angles using approximately 6 degrees for the toe angles and 10 degrees for the head angles.

Make sure you are using the smaller of the 2 outline templates you made for the base or the sides won’t fit properly around it. To complete the assembly of your coffin, add the 4-inch wide joiner ribs at the angle joint between the head and toe parts of the coffin.

Cut the short sides where they connect to the long sides at 76-degree angles and the long sides where they meet at 80-degree angles.For my Grandfather’s coffin we preferred the raw and natural appearance of unfinished pine in the simplest of traditions, but yours can be stained, stenciled, painted, burned, stamped, carved, or decorated with bumper stickers and photos to reflect upon the life and times of your lost loved one. Keep in mind that you’ll need some basic knowledge of carpentry and power tools to cut the pieces of the coffin out of plywood and put it all together. Drill the holes approximately 4 inches from the bottom edge of the coffin to keep the handles in the bottom board of your coffin. Try to use the same board for both lower head andtoe boards and upper head andtoe boards on side panels so that the same board widths and wood grain match at the elbow where the coffin bends. The old barn boards in these photos have much character and still provide all the strength found in new lumber.
