Many, many moons ago, it was custom for an apprentice carpenter to build his own coffin as a test to graduate to Master Carpenter. I think the coffin is highly appropriate.
There was a contest for project submissions to be chosen as the sublemmy photo that took place in October. Hence the coffin. I reckon it was supposed to be a semi regular contest but ya know... Life.
You could make a post calling for a new contest, I think that would be cool. I was meaning to participate in the next one anyway.
Hey Iām the moderator and yes thatās exactly what happened. It was an āautumn themeā woodworking contest. I was just thinking that it would be great to do another contest. Would you like to pick a theme? Could be something like āmake a tissue boxā or āmake something Christmas themedā.
Not that I'm against the seasonal theme or anything, but could the theme just be focused around what the new thumbnail picture should be?
Maybe 'build one of your favorite things that represents woodworking and the best one with the most votes gets to be the new thumbnail picture.' Or something like that š¤·āāļø
Thank you yes thatās exactly what happened. Sorry itās been so long. Letās have another friendly woodworking contest! Then we can replace the spooky coffin š

Well, it's summer.
So it'd be picket fence, decks and patios, planter boxes, Adirondack chairs...

It's not a regular coffin, it's a child or baby's coffin so don't worry.
