Fancy Coffins to Make Yourself

Rating:
Summary: Should have read the reviews.
Review: Everything about the book is unprofessional. If you're an amateur it will not help and if you're a craftsman you'll be appalled.

You could do better with your own imagination. If you need dimensions, call a local Funeral Home, they'll be glad to help.

Amazon should pull this title from their inventory.

Summary: Even the title is misleading
Review: The ONE coffin in the book is fancier than a plain pine box, but not by much. The coffin is poorly built, poorly finished and poorly described. The photos don't convey much information and the text isn't much help either. The first rule of writting a "how-to" book is knowing "how-to", very obviously Dale l. Power doesn't. I have seen much better construction in a seventh grade woodshop class.

Summary: Junky Coffins
Review: This book should be entitled, "Build a coffin at Summer Camp". The quality of the coffin depicted in the illustrations would lead me to believe that the author is not a woodworker and that he is not qualified to write on the subject. The workmanship depicted looks as though a group of school kids put it together. There is nothing in this book that a little imagination and general woodworking knowledge couldn't improve on.
