Coffin SketchUp plans pallets and Halloween
A lot of you have been confused by the angles on Fridays coffin project. I admit that they are a little tricky. If I was making something "critical" I would certainly have stressed over them a lot more. As it turned out, my pallet boards fit together close enough for my slacker tolerances.
However, big thanks to "Wood Chuck" Bruce, who took the time to make a SketchUp file of the coffin, complete with actual angles! These plans are really good. I need to spend some more time learning SketchUp stuff beyond straight lines and square pieces!
And dont forget: as soon as Halloween is done, Christmas gift-making season is upon us. Yup. Heres a simple idea from Brad Costa, who made this jewelry tree for his girlfriend.

Finally, heres a cool project from Lesli that looks simple to make and with the cable supporting it, should be quite sturdy. Plans available on The Woodworking Trip.

Since Halloween is soon upon us, I thought I would share Neils version of my Skull and Crossbones candy dispenser from last year. He made a stand for his and added a little cup to collect candy.

I really like this pair of pallet wood cabinets from Chris. The dark color and hardware complete them. Something so warm and inviting about tables made from pallets.
