Coffin pop up

[kendallizm]

Hi All,
We:jol:ll this year I am going all the way and am buying a welder to build some of my props. I will purchase air cylinders and controls for the props. Here is my question, does anyone have a how-to for a coffin pop up? I'm going today to get a mig set up from HomeDepot and there will be a learning curve i'm sure but I want some serious and long lasting/reliable props so here we go! ToT's beware!

Frighteners Entertainment sells the books with so many plans for pneumatic props that prop above is in volume 2

Here is one made out of pvc. Shouldn't be hard to convert to metal.

Thanks for the plug Joe.
These books were written by my friend Brent of (DCProps).
He is truly a talent and even got himself on the Today show this last season.
He won a nice $50,000 check for his display.
