Coffin

[grits]

This has to be one of the oddest things I have built to date. Its a miniature coffin.

story behind it?

I hope it's nothing too sad....

WOW yea I hope it is just for a pet or something.

story behind it?

We are into geocaching. Recently the oldest cache in Louisiana was destroyed as a result of controled burning in the Kisatchie National Forest. The cache owner and some others wanted to do something special with the " remains" so they wanted a coffin built.

If your familiar with geocaching the coffin will have its own tracking number so it can be discovered at different events.

Heres what it is going to be used to house.

I haven't done it in a couple years, but I do enjoy it. Neat Idea.

LOL we have hike over 3 miles before hunting them down.

I might try it IF there are handicap friendly sites I can access from my wheelchair. Looks like people DO use the automotive Navui 260's with some degree of success!

You can filter the caches by the attributes. That way only the handicap accesable ones show up.

I gotta pay 1st for that ability. I probably will when I finally get some relief but until I can win my lawsuit against the insurance company or until the Social Security department finally realizes that I AM actually unable to work and AM disabled, we continue to live off the kindness of others and my wife's meager income I am afraid!

My father has owned a towing business in Ascension parish for 48 years now.

An old carpenter built his and his wife's caskets out of cypress, they were stunning (I have a gun cabinet) and he asked dad to put them on the flatbed and have brought to the upholstery guy.

When dad as "are you in a hurry Mr. Richardson?"
classic reply....."mais I hope not"

I had an old hard core biker that wanted me to build him a liquor cabinet / coffin. I didn't do it.
It was actually a neat idea. Standup Pine box with an upper and lower door with shelving and glass & bottle racks.
Once he kicked the bucket, pull out the insides of the box & plant him in it.
