I STARTED WATCHING THIS TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE A COFFIN CASE FOR MY CELLO AND SCREAMED LIKE BLOOD HELL WHEN HE SLICED OPEN THE VIOLIN

[@mr.string4490]

yeh me too, lol

[@vampyre1992]

Same xD I didn't realize it was meant for a vampire slayer kit until I skipped ahead and landed on the part right when he slices into the violin >_

[@yoshima920]

Same here I was like wait what is he doing then bloody murder screams that it was sawed in half

[@pandasrtasty]

It's a vso not a real violin so it's OK.

[@sgsax]

Even without the anti-vampire accoutrement, that's still a pretty sweet build for a violin case.

[@skullandspade]

Seth Galitzer thank you. I actually did this as practice, because I have an actual case to make for a friend!

[@cajunfid]

No good violins were harmed in the making of this video.

[@skullandspade]

emphasis on "good"

@@skullandspade that still hurt my soul to watch...

[@andywright2380]

The fact that two people so far gave you a thumbs down proves that it's impossible to please everyone. Awesome video. I love your stuff

[@skullandspade]

Andy Wright thank you Andy. Haters gonna hate.

[@katelynrisner]

That's actually pretty cool! Kinda makes me want a coffin shaped case for my flute.

[@skullandspade]

Do it!

Great as always man. Impressive compound miter cuts!

[@skullandspade]

It was a nightmare! Thank you Jay!

[@garyhundsrucker7771]

Brett McAfee yeah,I'd be putting a few fingers I cut off in the casket after trying to make those cuts!😜But I will make one of these for my Toni Iiomi SG and use the padding from the sg case and use the leftover exterior case for another guitar I just bought.I've started on a Mettalica master of puppets graveyard cross amp so that will go good with this!I saw a casket case at a used guitar store but it was in shabby shape.

[@PaulMeyette]

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Corbato!

[@firebird8600]

Oh, Jimmy was hilarious in this one. Hahaha. I love the build, too. Going to have to think about copying this for one of my guitars. (And only maybe having my vampire killin' weapons in it)

[@skullandspade]

Stephen do or do not. There is no maybe...please show me this if you do it!

[@firebird8600]

Brett McAfee I'll start on it by springtime. I still have to get my hodgepodge of tools all set up in my sorta overfull garage. I'll see about making a video, so far, I've only posted one video, and I imagine it doesn't get very many views.

[@LaserLivestream]

Hahaha... love it Brett! Nice to see Jimmy helping with advice. Inspirational as ever!

[@skullandspade]

He tries his best. Thanks as always Gil. Jimmy and I owe you a call soon.

[@LaserLivestream]

Brett McAfee looking forward to it. Had a brainwave for a collaboration. ;)

[@LaserLivestream]

Looking forward to it. Worked out a collaboration idea too ;)

[@PJGalati]

LMAO You and Jimmy, have the best report. I love how he's the old miser of wisdom and you are the young buck charging off on a noble quest. The build was great, now both of you have black coffins lol.

[@lkj974]

very cool! Heavy though.

[@skullandspade]

Darkness is heavy

[@masterofnone]

Every time I go to Starbox it is like the ending of this video I swear . "Give me a medium coffee I say and they are like Venti? And I say whateva"

[@shecontrolsme666]

I have a synsonic terminator, I’m totally gonna do this now

[@skullandspade]

Hell yeah! Do it!

[@zolcik]

Great build, man. So... El Mariachi guitar/gun case for Cinco de Mayo? ;)

[@skullandspade]

Maybe maybe. Though, I don't think I'd be quite as smooth as Antonio.

[@damienbrand9422]

Great work as always Brett!! 'Don't taze me bro' shirts available next month :o)

[@skullandspade]

Damien Brand of course!

[@garagemonkeysan]

El Mariachi! Another entertaining video! : )

Thank you! Have to try out a bass case rocket launcher at some point.

[@RobertEchten]

Brilliant.... :-D

[@skullandspade]

Thanks!

[@douglidz2944]

Rockin it as always Brett. Don’t tell Jimmy but I think I liked your coffin build better than his. I guess next you have to take on some out of control Thanksgiving turkeys. Can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve for Christmas.

[@skullandspade]

I'm working on ideas as we speak! Thank you Doug!

[@chriseckola3995]

great video bud.

[@skullandspade]

Thanks Kyle. Next time you and Greg can jump in front of the camera.

[@TheDIYGuy-ut7ee]

Hey bud, again loving these videos as always. So now it's Halloween you inspired me to make a coffin after years of me wanting on. Would love some feed back if you have the time. Still learning everyday.

[@skullandspade]

Feel free to shoot a message over the website

@@skullandspade sorry, I meant if you were to see the coffin in the video. But no worry's mate, I know you're busier than the fish in Davy Jones locker. ☠️☠️. 👻

I will take a large coffee thanks. Hold the vampire

Yes please

Carl: Do we have a plan? I mean, it doesn't have to be Wellington's at Waterloo, but some kind of plan would be nice. Van Helsing: We're going to go in there and stop Dracula. Anna Valerious: And kill anyone who gets in our way. Carl:Well, you let me know how that goes...

I want a case like this for my violin!!!

Me too!

Derek Conway hahah

[@pavski]

Jimmy's lines cracked me up. Walk into Starbucks with that you're gonna get tazed

[@skullandspade]

It's like he speaks from experience.

[@mrolafdotcom]

I didn't understand the magnetic cross until the final construction lol

[@skullandspade]

Needed a way to pull you in.... BLAM #magnetpuns

[@VikingShorts]

Haha. That’s great.

[@FeralBoyKnives]

Hahah beautiful

[@skullandspade]

Thanks!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Nice coffin man! :') what's the last phrase Jimmy said? "don't ... me bro" Can't understand xD

[@-Benedict]

"Don't taze me, bro." :)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

I see :D Thanks Benedict!

[@kule510]

So cool jimmy lets you use his tools workshop and materials!

[@callindrill]

That's some pretty impressive "eye ballin" on them there compound miters. My heart may have broken a little when you started saying into the violin, though... Doesn't help that my great grandfather was a violin maker in Italy, though. ;)

[@skullandspade]

Aw shucks. No need for heartbreak, that thing was 20$ and all the hardware is plastic. Works better here than for making music ; )

[@callindrill]

@@skullandspade I didn't actually think you'd cut up a NICE violin... I just had a moment, is all. ;)

[@skullandspade]

Of course! I do the same every time I see guitars get smashed

[@cykosyc]

do you happen to have plans for this?

[@davidnichols4939]

Great job! Definitely not plain vanilla lol

[@skullandspade]

Ha, Thank you David!!!

[@HueyLionsheart]

Nice! No interest in owning a violin ever.....unless it's this one! Those hinges are a cool touch. 👍😁

[@skullandspade]

Hahah, thank you as always Huey!

[@randyallaway4085]

Welp, see you on the news!

[@skullandspade]

Yeah, small town news is going to have a field day with my Starbucks visit.

[@randyallaway4085]

"A local man allegedly stabbed two goths in a Starbucks today- witness say he waved garlic at them before assaulting the surly teens with what looked like handmade stakes and a mallet with 'DIRESTA' marked on it."

[@JBBaird715]

Where did you get the magnets for attaching the cross to the case?

[@skullandspade]

Big box store. Home Depot and Lowe’s carry them in the fastener aisles.

[@JBBaird715]

Brett McAfee Thanks. Also, could you give a little insight on making the angled slats to sit in between the two larger boards? I think perhaps I’d like to recreate this project, just on a larger scale (for a guitar)

[@skullandspade]

That would be amazing! And please feel free to send pictures to my Instagram if you do! Best advice having done 2 now. The miter/angle cuts should be done first. Keep all the pieces longer than needed. I think the angle is somewhere between 5-10 degrees (but it’s however much you want the flair to be. Do the sides first, then bottom, then top 3 smaller pieces. Join the sides to the base board, then lay your top/bottom slats against the space they’ll eventually end up. Pencil marks for measuring. I’ll be 100% honest, I’m not a learned enough wood worker to be able to mathematically cut all those angles and have them all line up. “Build in space” one piece at a time. Once you have the sides cut how you want, it’s a matter of measuring, double checking 1 cut, then the other.

[@-Benedict]

Magnets, how do they work?

[@skullandspade]

Benedict Edwards science and magic.

[@josephclarkbolilan3458]

i want to make an order sir. Can i make a purchase from you? I'm from the Philippines. I really love your work

[@skullandspade]

Kamusta ka! Unfortunately I don’t have the tools to efficiently make one of these coffins. Also, shipping to the Philippines would be $$$$!

[@jonathanbootman1928]

Where can I buy

[@skullandspade]

Someone probably sells something on Temu

[@RowdyPenguin]

THIS! "Dont taze me bro!" That guy should make his own vids ;)

[@skullandspade]

I keep telling him to start his own thing...

[@altway4879]

It was around 20$ and basically a toy, rip indeed, but worked great in this application
