When you said “so the earthworms have access” I was wondering; aren't americans pumped with conservation fluids, like on Six Feet Under? I live in Europe, where all coffins are closed, and all remains are buried. Not kept on mantlepieces or snorted by rockstars :-)
You could very easily make advertising your real life job. I don't know how after all these years your sponsored content is STILL good... you're just that good at marketing.
I was building a coffin for myself just like you showed and somehow I screwed myself inside. How do I get out and why can I hear someone digging with a shovel? Please hurry and make a video about how to get out before my phone battery di
Joel Hudson A coffin coffee table yeah it works. Everyone that walks into my house says "why do you have a coffin in your living room?" And it's great for storing blankets lol
Love your sense of humour. You can relax, no worms 6ft down. One tip, put some blocks above the rope handles so when you lift with them it stands the rope off the side of the coffin. Your pallbearers knuckles will thank you for them. (I'm a funeral director in New Zealand, seen a few skinned knuckles with rope handles)
I made a casket from particle board many years ago. painted it flat black. It was great for Halloween. Come to think of it, I forgot it in a crawl space of a house I was renting at the time. That might cause some concern.
Very funny and entertaining Steve! The dead ghoul for the mattress sequence was great and right up there with your Halloween sequences (which I’m looking forward to again this year)!!! You need a Casper mattress in there.
Very funny, hahaha. I have to build this coffin for my mother-in-law, she will fit perfectly. Thank you very much for sharing. Thanks to MicroJig and Casper for sponsoring this video.
Some of your background music choices always give me a chuckle. That tuba solo when you're carrying out the assembled sides -- I don't know why that's funny, but it sure is!
This one was giving me a lot of fun pictures. You should have a Casper madrass inside and a place for some magasin and maybe a xbox. Great that you can try it out for a while :) Have a fun weekend
Fun video. Do you have plans for a folding table for outdoor use? I would like to make tables for a wedding venue, they will probably be painted, I have a place to store them, but they need to be stable and hopefully not over 50 lbs each.
Built one of these last year, a lot like yours. I also sprayed black on the inside and display it leaning on my porch with the lid open and a skeleton hanging inside. It's a hoot.
Dude :) I started watching your videos mostly for project inspiration, as I am more into hand tools. But, I just can't miss any of your videos, even if I am not remotely interested in the project at hand. Your sense of humor is my type and your editing is superb!
Thanks Steve . Finally a simple, "TOE PINCHER" project ,with dimensions. I intend to build one for my self. ( 82) , & who knows how much longer till I will need one . Thanks again, Don
Steve add a green light or two inside and a motor with a cam on it, to rattle the lid. You could add a second motor, with a cam to lift then drop a mallet inside the coffin to make banging noise.
I've built 2 coffins very similar to yours since the mid eighties and have scared hundreds of people by by opening the lid while standing them against the house. Use care and block the lid to prevent getting injured by frightened trick or treaters and and rowdy adults.
Great video. Last fall, my son came home from high school and asked if I could build him a coffin. After he explained it was for a Halloween costume contest, I agreed. He also wanted it so that his friends could carry him in the coffin. I used 3/8" plywood with 1x's for framing. To figure out the angles, I drew the outline on paper. I adjusted the lines until it looked right and measured the angles with a student protractor. It is a prop, it is not fine furniture.
I built a coffin in 1990 used it for about 6 years and sold it for 10 bucks at a garage sale. I built it first as a prop and secondarily to store my Halloween stuff first year I put a red light in it and a speaker. I sat inside and spooked the front yard had a group of 4 teenage girls start trying to look in the coffin and when they got about 24" away started yelling and they screamed and backed their butts in to one of my prized rose bushes and I got two screams for the price of one. So the reason I bring this up mine was black reused plywood from an old real estate sign I was haunting around the goodwill store for stuff and there it was part of their display still standing proud and tall at 6'-6" tall and the interior was still unpainted it had a price tag of $80.00.
Hi I hope someone can explain something to me. Is the Ryobi driil and impact driver set Steve recommends different from another brand I am considering that is selling an impact driver and a hammer dril?. Will I have what I need if I buy the second option here? I don't know ANYTHING about power tools but hope to with Steve's class. Thx
Now I watch Steve's Halloween videos and just wonder sometimes what his neighbors think as they drive by seeing him building a coffin....LOL Great build, by the way...I love it!
I've seen all of your videos from the beginning until now. The Halloween series has always been my favorite. This one is much less gory and gross than previous years which I thought was going to be a disappointment. This one is absolutely hilarious though!! Favorite part: "Hey... That's life-ist..."!!! Great job!
Mrs. Mortals is going to be mad when she sees that stain on the driveway, you will need that coffen. Remember when you did the logo on the outside garage wall? Cute build.
The arbor on your table saw is it .625 and if so you can use a 3/4" dado stack with that right? I've seen you use them before ,but I'm about to buy my first table saw and just wanted to make sure I got one that would handle a 3/4" stack. I know the question is unrelated to this video. Sorry.
Just a simple question, (love your videos) I'm a young woodworker (13) and am finding it hard to find limited tools jigsaw projects that aren't just tables. Any recommendations?
Bookshelves in various styles and blanket/toy chests can be made with limited tools and dimensional lumber aka Big Box store SPF (if you short through it and eliminate the warped, split & otherwise damaged boards).
Surprised you didn't go the coffin/bookcase project line, we all need somewhere to stash stuff, just cut the side battens so the top edge is level then screw them to the sides. The shelves can then just sit on top of the battens making them easily removed when you need the coffin for something else, like Halloween or stashing the bodies of annoying door-to-door callers in the back yard.
Hi Steve, i have a walnut and maple chessboard with the pieces permanently exhibited on it ( bad idea :( ), i recently noticed that the wood is getting marked, circles where the pieces are. How can i restore the board to uniform it? Those circles ruined the beautiful board...
You should have gotten a Casper mattress and cut it to size to fit in the coffin. If you're buried alive, you'll want to be comfortable, seeing as you'll be six feet under and you'd need supernatural strength (like the kind you get after being turned by a vampire) to escape that.
Make the coffin a little bigger than is has to be, "Because, I think once you die and your body starts to off-gas and rot, it might bloat a little bit." BWA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Perfect! Steve, you are a riot! This episode had me laughing the entire time! If I could give it a dozen likes, I would!
Build your own and save! Haha...Happy Halloween everybody!
Steve Ramsey - Is there a cost associated with the course, and if so....?
When you said “so the earthworms have access” I was wondering; aren't americans pumped with conservation fluids, like on Six Feet Under? I live in Europe, where all coffins are closed, and all remains are buried. Not kept on mantlepieces or snorted by rockstars :-)
noticed there is not a single nail in your coffin... ;-)
So for halloween, will you put cushions in there and then pop out with a bowl of candy whenever trick or treaters come by? XD
I thought for sure you would have taken a tourch to that thing and do the burnt wood technique.
You could very easily make advertising your real life job. I don't know how after all these years your sponsored content is STILL good... you're just that good at marketing.

Please hurry and make a video about how to get out before my phone battery di
lol nice
Great build. I made my own coffin 12 years ago but my wife won't bury me in it because we use it as of coffee table lol love your videos
I love the idea of a coffin coffee table!
A... Coffin Table??
Joel Hudson
A coffin coffee table yeah it works. Everyone that walks into my house says "why do you have a coffin in your living room?" And it's great for storing blankets lol
Freakish!
So it's technnically a coffein table
Put a Casper mattress in it.
THIS!!!
I was disappointed that he didn't. I genuinely thought “this'll be good” when I saw the Casper notice in the beginning.
Yeah, I thought the same. Coffin + Casper... :D
Friendly Ghost reference?
😂😂😂
Why did you use so many screws instead of glue? Now if you're buried alive you'll really be screwed.
Glue is stronger than screws most of the time.
@@nyetloki you missed the joke
🤣🤣🤣
So did you do any grave mistake during making this?
Hehehe
Love your sense of humour. You can relax, no worms 6ft down. One tip, put some blocks above the rope handles so when you lift with them it stands the rope off the side of the coffin. Your pallbearers knuckles will thank you for them. (I'm a funeral director in New Zealand, seen a few skinned knuckles with rope handles)
Yeah man a nice warm cup of Micro Jig works the best
When you get too much going on you can always bury yourself in your work
Looks even better than the coffin I put to use for the daughters hampster. R.I.P. Sprinkles
You know, sometimes I come back to your vids just to see your creative sponsor ads ;) Really love your vids and projects :)
I made a casket from particle board many years ago. painted it flat black. It was great for Halloween.
Come to think of it, I forgot it in a crawl space of a house I was renting at the time. That might cause some concern.
I hope you gave whoever found it a great freak-out and then a great laugh.
A subterranean Tiny House for the ultimate adventure !
Very funny and entertaining Steve! The dead ghoul for the mattress sequence was great and right up there with your Halloween sequences (which I’m looking forward to again this year)!!!
You need a Casper mattress in there.
What's the first symptom of a Halloween allergy?
Coffin.
Very funny, hahaha. I have to build this coffin for my mother-in-law, she will fit perfectly. Thank you very much for sharing. Thanks to MicroJig and Casper for sponsoring this video.
i could see Steve randomly moving Matthias Wandell's pantarouter gears "just to mess with him."
I love how serious and not serious this video is!
This is one of your funniest, and therefore best, videos yet.
Some of your background music choices always give me a chuckle. That tuba solo when you're carrying out the assembled sides -- I don't know why that's funny, but it sure is!
Just add a cup holder and Wifi and you will have it made.
This reminds me of the joke about the coffin sliding down the hill into the pharmacy from a while back! Looks great Steve!
This one was giving me a lot of fun pictures. You should have a Casper madrass inside and a place for some magasin and maybe a xbox. Great that you can try it out for a while :) Have a fun weekend

Hard as a coffin nai....pocket screw :)
everyone who doesn't normally watch his videos are gonna think "THIS GUY IS FRIGGIN NUTS"
Kathryn Hood And those who do normally watch this channel will know he's friggin nuts. 😀
tallman11282 He likes to remind us of that fact at least once a year.
Hey Steve...Awesome video.. made me and my daughter laugh out loud.
Thanks Steve . Finally a simple, "TOE PINCHER" project ,with dimensions. I intend to build one for my self. ( 82) , & who knows how much longer till I will need one . Thanks again, Don

Best Casper ad so far. Lol
Excellent build!
What color stain did you use??
What did you use for a base when using your circular saw on the driveway? War it just a cardboard box?
Very witty banter Steve! LOVE IT!!! 🤪🤪🤪
As a licensed funeral,director, I’m here to say, the slats on the top go on the inside!
Lol. Love the humour. Kinda shocked that Casper was okay with that for their ad spot.
Looks like Steve is finally ready to launch his standup comedy career.
I don't know what's funnier, the video or the comment section! This is great though.
What were the angles? How did you join them?
Great video.

You crack me up. Love the coffin
Hey, and this serves as good storage for the smaller Halloween supplies - severed body parts, brains in jars, werewolf skulls. Nice!

This is great. Awesome jokes, awesome advertising, and awesome work. Keep it up 👍🏻
You standing in the coffin made me think of Bender checking out his closet.
Great looking coffin and you make a great zombie salesman!
It must be very fun to be your neighbor. I bet they come by all the time to see what you're building
Now I watch Steve's Halloween videos and just wonder sometimes what his neighbors think as they drive by seeing him building a coffin....LOL Great build, by the way...I love it!
I'd love to have a neighbor like Steve. All mine do is go off and leave their barking dogs out.
I totally agree...I think it would be cool just to watch him assemble things like this coffin in his driveway....LOL
Happy Halloween? Halloween is about spreading fear, not happiness.
Spreading happiness is how we stick it to the forces of evil.
This video is gold! Classic gold!
Killer project Steve 👉🏻👉🏻
That was a devil of a good show! Happy Halloween
I've seen all of your videos from the beginning until now. The Halloween series has always been my favorite. This one is much less gory and gross than previous years which I thought was going to be a disappointment. This one is absolutely hilarious though!! Favorite part: "Hey... That's life-ist..."!!!

Looking forward to see how you’re going to do this online class. Think it’s a great idea!!!
Mrs. Mortals is going to be mad when she sees that stain on the driveway, you will need that coffen. Remember when you did the logo on the outside garage wall? Cute build.
This video was dead good Steve! Another project boxed off!
Steve great video, well edited, entertaining. 10/10
Hello Steve, nice coffin :) What finish did you use on it ?
NICE WORK STEVE!
It's Awesome Steve!
You really make my day .. I can not stop from laughing . You are totally crazy thats why i like you !!!!!!!
One of my favorite videos you’ve made yet! Love the channel keep up the awesome videos!
What is the angle of the middle miters?
The arbor on your table saw is it .625 and if so you can use a 3/4" dado stack with that right? I've seen you use them
before ,but I'm about to buy my first table saw and just wanted to make sure I got one that would handle a 3/4" stack.
I know the question is unrelated to this video. Sorry.
Most table saws sold in the U.S. will accept dado stacks. (You will probably rarely use the full 3/4" though.)
I enjoyed this more than I should have
I love Steve, cause he's such a funny guy!
Your goofy humor had me chuckling this time!
Awesome job Steve!👍
I would lay some soft velvet and pillows inside the coffin. It should be comfy when you lay there dead.
Just make sure they're made of a biodegradable material ;)
Awesome video! That makes me want to build one to put out in the front yard for halloween!
So I dont have to die trying the math, what was that angle lol, great build and video Steve , All The Best
Check the plans in the video description, or you could just use the cosine rule to calculate it if you decide to make yours a different size.
should be painted purple
Tim Whitford, puce would be better. IMHO
Paint the inside purple.
Steve, just watched this video. Loved the Casper add. You gave me a good laugh.

"filled with imperfections" made me laugh out loud.
Steve, rather apposite as I am a 72 years old wood worker. Thanks !
Hi Steve! How can I get your stickers to The Netherlands? Great video btw!
Hi Steve, i have a walnut and maple chessboard with the pieces permanently exhibited on it ( bad idea :( ), i recently noticed that the wood is getting marked, circles where the pieces are. How can i restore the board to uniform it? Those circles ruined the beautiful board...
I just wonder what your neighbors thought as you built your coffin out in the driveway? :)

Love it Steve, not sander sites but Steve Sites 😂
"Bump comment" after years.... but this was really fun to watch, Steve! 🙂
Nice work man! Thanks for sharing!

Is the main song still from Per Almered?
Nice
Wait, no door in the top for your hand to come out and grab ankles?
And it's not brightly spray painted inside?
It'll make a great planter, and after bereavement it'll still be a great planter!
Didn’t you forget to put a final nail in the coffin?
Hello?
*tap tap* is this on?
Built a similar coffin for a music video, I used fence board for the rough cut wood look. It turned out great!
"grab people by the ankle?" hahahahaha. Yeah i would love to comeback as an Entity and haunt people myself :D
one time i took a bite out of my pizza and then went to talk to my friend, but when i went back the pizza was restored! no joke
Big win last night...waht a game!!!!
WOW! That was the most riveting (and bizarre) end to a game I've ever seen. Go Raiders!
why is the microjig ad always so funny
