The Coffin
 

I've been wanting to make one of these bad boys for a few years now.  This was a REALLY fun project to do.  If you're interested in doing this yourself, GO FOR IT!!  Just don't worry about the workmanship - The worse it looks, the better.  The lid goes up and down with a 4rpm gear motor about 6-8 inches.  It has a creaking sound effect to go with it.  I had to use a gas-lift piston from the local automotive store to help the motor lift the heavy lid.  The finished product is very heavy.  2 adults (or 1 adult and 3-4 children) can move it.

Here is the coffin stained, but without handles and before "beating".
The coffin handles.  They came brown, so I had to give them a more aged look.  See the top photo for the final look.
