This is a joint effort with a friend, who is going to help build it. Hayden’s partner parents, wanted a full size coffin for a halloween party. Zombie the return of the living dead theme.

I was unsure what type of wood was going to be supplied so couldn’t really make a plan till I knew what wood was going to turn up? Wood supplied 185mm x 2400mm dressed. I reckon 12 will do it, but depends on how deep we make it. Our instructions were a “full sized coffin.” My question back was, what size, to fit a 5’8″ person or 6’9″ person, was the person skinny or on the larger size…? Anyway it is only a prop and won’t be used to carry anyone etc. (well I hope not anyway). So stay tuned to see how we put it together and the fun we have.

Hayden: A body?
Nighthawk: Only if it is the living dead and knows how to make a coffin.
