Make Coffin Bookcase - DIY

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

thanks for the angles. about to build one for a friend.

[@tydrayton6210]

Great job! It turned out nicely. My wife showed me a photo of one similar and after watching your video I will definitely be making this for her birthday.

[@PhienixxStJames]

Thank you for giving measurements

[@Miche_Morticia27]

I absolutely love it! I definitely want one!

[@BearMaked]

Thanks! Well now you know how to build one 😉 I'd offer to build it for you, but shipping something like this would be redonkulous.

[@BasharAcademy]

Thanks.

[@BuildDadBuild]

Looks good brother! Nicely done.👍👍

[@BearMaked]

Thanks dude! Something somewhere just gave me the urge to burn something. Though I'm sure you've NEVER experienced that feeling...

[@BuildDadBuild]

Fire. It. Up. Brother! 🔥🔥

[@crystallopez7223]

Can you provide a list of wood material you used and the length of all the cuts?

[@emilylindstrom724]

That's awesome, I want one!

[@klawes6673]

This is amazing!

[@BearMaked]

Thanks!

[@EsmeraldaVengeance]

So where can I purchase one 😊 lol

[@BearMaked]

Haha, I wouldn't want to ship one of these bad boys. I'd check for makers/woodworkers in your area and see if they're taking commissions!

[@philip6365]

Do you have plans available. Wood used, sizes cut

[@BearMaked]

Sadly, I do not. I can say I used pine, and the thing it about 6' tall. I remember the bottom panels are at a 6-degree angle, and the top are 10-degree. Well, I'm about 85% confident in those numbers.

Like your clever title: My brother made "baroque flutes" LOVED wood and ebony-He had a great sense of humor-He said he ws "going to meet mom soon", so I asked, "What will you wear?" (Old joke about when I was singing LIVE my welthy friends would never ask what was I going to SING ? THEY wanted to know "What I'd be wearing" . My brother and I always laughed about that-WHO CARES if you sound good, right ? I put on Bog Rock's "Nutter Suite" a few months later and started singing along with the track as it went by; "I come to you, naked and bear!" (It's called "I Still Care" but is at SoundCloud). I don't want a funeral-I'll probably survive all of em anyway; I'm a Taurus and we not only never give UP, but we're extremely determined ! i WANT a book case I can enjoy, and jump into when the time comes-a SHIPPING BOX TO BACK HOME! I'm a lady who loves wood-want a violin placed under my left arm and my guitar under my right-None of this hand-holding pre-arranged placement for ME! But PINE will be expensive-and shipping the old bones from California will be expensive! I saw a video of another wood-crafter in No. Carolina, who made BOOK-CASES that disassemble-or "reassemble" AS caskets, but I can't find him anymore! I've read the Bible several times , and I still don't understand why from "dus to dust, and ashes to ashes" should mean cremation-The Egyptians only had to cover themselves with CLAY and become lowered into the KILN for their final resting spots ? Being a sculptor, I kind'a like that idea-then the family can fight over the STATUE instead of little pots full of ashes, right ? ANY SUGGESTIONS? I'm "dead-serious" too."Grounded" one might say! Thanks for any suggestions "[e-mail]" Of course I pray for more time; ("My Dear Lord Master of the Universe" )

[@cynthiaminor63]

Do you remember how many 1x12x8 you bought?

[@BearMaked]

I want to say 3, but that may be wrong, might've been 4. I think 3 works if you cut everything perfectly on the first try, but 4 gives you some wiggle room. I think. It's been a while so my memory might not be right 😅

[@aggieledwell]

Hello! I’m wondering what equipment you need do this, minimum, I’d like to ask my father to build me one of these but we don’t have very complex tools.

[@BearMaked]

I'd say you can get away with using a circular saw, so long as it's able to tilt. That, and a drill, and probably a sander are all you should need. Other tools would make it easier, but aren't necessary.

[@aggieledwell]

@@BearMaked perfect! thank you! we've got a circular saw! tysm for you're time!

[@MotherHemCreations]

What kind of wood and how much did you use? I see all of the stuff we need but not that as well as the cut list.

[@BearMaked]

It's pine. If you're going to burn it like that, pine or cedar, or another soft wood is best. As far as how much, I don't recall, and I didn't really have plans for it, so I don't think I can give a helpful answer to that.😅

[@MotherHemCreations]

@@BearMakedmy friend is going to build it for me since he has the tools and I'll be finishing it. I cant wait

[@mellowbarrera4048]

What are the dimensions for the pinewood? I'm looking to build this and have no clue what size to get

[@BearMaked]

The boards were labeled as 1x12's. I don't remember the length that I got, but I want to say an 8-foot board was enough for each side, and then probably another 8-foot board for the shelves to be cut from. It's been a while, though, so I may not be fully correct.

[@mellowbarrera4048]

@@BearMaked omg! I wasn't expecting such a fast response! Thanks for the help, and the video too. ❤️

[@BearMaked]

Not a problem! That's why I do it 😁 Have fun building, if you share photos some where, let me know, I'd love to see what you make!

[@FigmentsMade]

Nice one! (subbed!)

[@Elementaro17]

How tall did this end up being?

[@BearMaked]

I want to say it was right about 6 feet.

[@BuildDadBuild]

Possibly used...😂😂😂

[@charliejones3119]

Hey I've been toying with the idea of this any way I have some joinery skills it's just the angles as I don't have a table saw wanted to use the miltre but not sure on the angles and I take it it's as easy as un doing the back and putting it to the correct measurement

[@BearMaked]

I drew it up in SketchUp to get an idea of the angles. But yes, a miter saw should work, provided it has the capacity to cut a wide board like these. A circular saw can get the job done as well.

[@katrinamackenzie7547]

Would be good if you could buy these

[@BearMaked]

I agree! They'd be a pain in the arse to ship, though.

[@larryblevins8078]

Viniger and steel wool stain looks better.

[@BearMaked]

I've not tried that yet, but have seen it and it does look nice. But in this case, it was requested to be purple, so it wouldn't have been appropriate for this project.

[@InteractiveRealm]

Nice work! Check out the video for that tombstone I did.. which just happen to work out in time for halloween we well.

[@BearMaked]

Thanks! I'm behind on watching videos, but will definitely check that out soon.
