Thanks! It was well worth the effort. It should outlast me :-)

Thanks Mark. I'm the brains -- not the brawn.

Thank you! 😃

Thank you very much!

Sorry to hear about the headstone denial from your wife. The gall of some women. I think I'll need to carve my headstone first...not a horrible idea actually. I can also make a pine box out of reclaimed lumber.

Tom, I smell a several part video series coming up. You could show us how to find and select reclaimed lumber for the coffin as well as how to build several different coffin designs. (Dracula style, conventional style, farm house style and a modern contemporary style) You could give us advice on how to find hardware for the coffin at estate sales. You could give us pointers of how to find the granite slab for our headstone. You could show us how to purchase, sharpen and use the needed tools for carving the headstone. You could offer advice on how to get a bargain on the burial plot. Wow, this could be your defining masterpiece video series.

Now I just need a name for the show and a pitch for the History Channel.

Never too late :-). well... maybe not quite true.

@@AlleyPicked I do traffic control.. flashing lights, orange cones...etc...the trade I wished I'd have explored is electrical line work..I work with them a lot... Thank you for all the fun videos!

I do. They were not cheap and I plan to do another project -- just haven't gotten around to it. I think I'll hang on to them for now. Thanks.

ok fine...I'll start to add bloopers at the end of my videos :-)

@@AlleyPicked Thank you!
