It’s super cool and all, but also kind of ominous? I feel like something more inviting might be a better fit.
Better?
🤣
Much better, thanks
Damn, that’s a quality woodworking project. Look at those joints! /s
Guaranteed to last a lifetime, for sure!
Many, many moons ago, it was custom for an apprentice carpenter to build his own coffin as a test to graduate to Master Carpenter. I think the coffin is highly appropriate.
I didn’t know that, thanks for sharing
There was a contest for project submissions to be chosen as the sublemmy photo that took place in October. Hence the coffin. I reckon it was supposed to be a semi regular contest but ya know… Life.
You could make a post calling for a new contest, I think that would be cool. I was meaning to participate in the next one anyway.
Oh awesome! I didn’t know that was a thing.
Maybe I will do that
Hey I’m the moderator and yes that’s exactly what happened. It was an “autumn theme” woodworking contest. I was just thinking that it would be great to do another contest. Would you like to pick a theme? Could be something like “make a tissue box” or “make something Christmas themed”.
Not that I’m against the seasonal theme or anything, but could the theme just be focused around what the new thumbnail picture should be?
Maybe ‘build one of your favorite things that represents woodworking and the best one with the most votes gets to be the new thumbnail picture.’ Or something like that 🤷♂️
I’ll get to work on my coffin!
Well, it’s summer.
So it’d be picket fence, decks and patios, planter boxes, Adirondack chairs…
Thank you yes that’s exactly what happened. Sorry it’s been so long. Let’s have another friendly woodworking contest! Then we can replace the spooky coffin 😁
Well, it IS woodworking 😁
I never noticed actually, well spotted
Thanks

It’s not a regular coffin, it’s a child or baby’s coffin so don’t worry.
