Do-It-Yourself Coffins Book

I can spray paint a cardboard box and make it look better. This book is a waste of money.

I first bought this book and found that the "coffins" were actually poorly made boxes that looked like they were put together and finished by children.I then ordered the "wooden casket plan" from Rockler and found those plans quite helpful. Instead of milling all the lid lumber and trim myself, I found that the "off the shelf oak base boards and trim from [local home center] worked very well.

This book is sub-standard at best and the author should be embarassed. 8th grade shop class boxes that are beginner level. Don't waste your time or money.

A very simple rendition of a "how to" book. Good for beginners, but too basic for anyone beyond. I don't recommend this book for the simple reason you can get as much information from a picture.

The quality of these finished caskets is not that of a master carpenter.I would be embarrased to put my name on the cover of this book. I wasted my money.
