First you're fortunate to have a large shop. I had a two car garage for mine. In this case I may have used a spline just to keep everthing aligned. Just my preference. I am also a huge fan of the sliding miter saw. With a good blade you can get perfect angles every time. I am a fan of biscuits too but more for making up panels and corner joints in furniture. I ham also a huge fan of the router so I probably would have made the rabbits on the router. I have done spline cuts on the router too. Again we all have different ways of doing things, but that's what makes it fun! And doing fun projects like this is a great way of working in wood just for the sheer joy of it. Love your channel! Jim
I love watching a craftsman work his magic with wood and his tools. Mine did not come out quite that nice but they held Dracula and served their purpose. Plus there was not too much light.
We Just returned from Doctors appointment /Knee injection. Done for now and some errands. Saw Thumbs Up/LIKE BUTTON at 273=Used to be one of my Radio codes in Law Enforcement. So I hit the Thumbs up/LIKE BUTTON and waallllaaaa now 274. lol.... Nice Pine Box.
I really enjoy this coffin building. Here in kadoka SD and other small town we still hand dig some graves and shovel in the dirt at the burial. My neighbor hand builds most of the coffins in our area. It'd be cool to build some of these for use. The squeaky hinge was great!
Great video Mark. Great to see a workshop video. We used to use a DeWalt biscuit jointer at work, I used to use it on the winder stair strings and on stair treads. Take care.
My grandmother's brother built his own casket using Florida cypress lumber. It was a beautiful box, but he had failed to measure the inside dimensions of a burial vault. The casket handles were too wide to fit into the vault, so the burial had to wait until somebody could go home and get a screwdriver to take the handles off. Measure twice, install once. 😀
Well, that is different. Years ago in the UK we never celebrated Haloween as it is a pagan thing. When we lived in Virginia, Haloween was on par with Xmas and Easter. So I guess that this is another thing that was imported from America that has taken off unlike Oriels and Hershey chocolate which are possibly the worst import from America. Great video.
I know that I’m a little late to this video, I’m thinking that I might build my own coffin for myself, I think that’ll be fun. Thank you Sir

Great build Mark 👏. I'm just blessed to have the saw I have 🙂. Totally agree with you on biscuits I would normally only use them for alignment too, yes they do add strength to the joint but can also create havoc.
Back in the 80s I built two coffins and two operational guillotines for two spook houses we were involved with. One each for our neighborhood group and one each for our Jaycee chapter. The blade for the guillotines were made out of 3/4 inch plywood. The business end was cut on an angle and the cutting edge cut on a 45 degree angle. It did cut a pumpkin in half. It was in a lubricated track and would free fall when the release lever was pulled. If the blade was made with a piece of steel the same size but 1/2 the thickness with a sharp edge I’m sure it would remove ones head.
At Bradford Pine Box in New Hampshire in 1977 i was honored to be asked to build a coffin. All told I have now done 17. Only one is still outside of a grave vault. I found the pine coffins to be my biggest money maker at BPB. We had a Frink mill so we always had plenty of boards. We didn't have UA-cam back then.
Wow you went to great detail really nice I like it I made 2 props out of a 1 by 2 pine Years ago for Halloween 1 was a whole well They were small versions not as big And I made them look like of from the old pioneer days1 is actually on 45 °With the top half of the door broken away like Lid And it looks like it's coming out of the ground on an angle he put some leaves or some dirt around it with some leaves and it looks like it came up out of the ground on an angle
That is an elaborate look for a Halloween prop. You must have some high muckity-muck spooks in your graveyard. I was surprised to see John in there but glad he was just resting but not resting in peace. I enjoyed this video. If you want to throw in a shop project from time to time It’s ok with me. Will you and THE E H be mill-carving a pumpkin this year? 😁👍👀 🎃
Good morning from Lincolnshire UK. Nice tutorial. Great to see John voicing his support.
good morning Andrew.

Thanks Mark. Very nice work and workshop.

we have more green burials here now.

thanks Adrian.
I loved the new Yankee workshop, Norm taught me alot back in the day! 😊✌🏻🇺🇸
I liked to watch the new Yankee workshop.
If Mike McCoy had seen that coffin, he would have asked you to make one for him! Miss him and his videos!
thanks , I would have made him one.
Looking good so far, Mark. You always make these shop projects seem so simple. Looking forward to Part 2.
Bill
thanks bill , glad you liked it.
Great Bill Mark really liked it. Good fun projects to do for Halloween with your kids.
thanks.

Agreed, it is pagan. It is also a glorification of evil. My vicar preaches against it, so do I.
@@Hertog_von_Berkshire We are Baptist and our Pastor would freak out every October as try telling children they cannot go Trick or Treat.
thanks Tony , this was a fun project.
.

I know that I’m a little late to this video, I’m thinking that I might build my own coffin for myself, I think that’ll be fun.
Thank you Sir

thanks Tommy ,yes I would love to have a sliding tablesaw.
Cool beans!!!!
I took some empty freon tanks and made jackolanterns out of them !!!
And lite them with solar lights.
👻😈🍊😊👍👍👍👍
good idea.
You're a really good carpenter Mark. Your trade or passion? Looks like trade. Beautiful coffin.
thanks.
Very nice coffin need

good stuff Bill , I built a electric chair for a spook house 25 years ago.
mark galicic Maybe we should get together and start an execution museum.

I never built a coffin for someone but did build a urn for a good friend.
Are lengths on template short side or long side? Please explain
