Thank you Leverton Brothers. Such a wonderful presentation showing your beautiful skills. I particularly enjoyed seeing 'traditional hand French Polishing'. An art lost to the spray gun.
To cut wood and make by hand is amazing, no better way to honer a loved one than to have them rip in something made with pride unlike theses mass produced caskets people buy today. Id love to make one for my loved ones when time comes.
I like seeing the tradition of hand made coffins and caskets instead of the mass production it means more that someone has put time and effort for the deceased
The sides of this coffin where mass produced in a factory you certainly never saw him make them. I know for the reason been a Coffin maker over 45 years.
We have got to have a bit of fun in this life because we're going to the next world I've been there and then you deaf experience it is beautiful forget the Coffin just get cremated in ditch the Ashes get that song playing Another One Bites the Dust don't don't don't another one back dust
The casket looks very nice indeed, I’m wanting to make caskets but not sure what’s involved putting the lining inside and the bed itself inside so it looks like this one did , very respectable for a final fairwell. Thanks for sharing.👍
Beautiful finish on the Coffin, such a shame you didn't put some padding behind the side sheets, it makes a world of difference, wood wool is a good product for this and is accepted for Cremations too. you can also use it for giving the pillow area some depth!
Wow, thats is a real work of art! I especially like the side panels and handles.. and the color also! - the only bit im not keen on is the extra wood on the top of the lid.. I have preference for a flat top
I want a coffin in a style like this--in a beautiful emerald green wood stain. I admire Anglo/Irish wooden coffins, because of my Irish heritage and my history of having lived in England (despite being born an American). Sadly there appear to be no such styles of traditional coffins available in North America. I would need to build my own (a challenge I could probably take on and learn this craft) or settle for the rest of my life back in the UK and be buried there in one of these.
Francis Smith there are a few, if you like the simple there is abby caskets from indiana, they are not built by the brothers but a local maker in indiana, or any master carpenter could problebly make you one, your just building a strong box with a good stain, and some fancy router work as well as some handles.
I've been a Coffin maker for 47 years and will put this man to shame as he never admitted the main components the sides are factory made. No BODY has commented on how did he make the sides of the coffin. Well he did not make them. The sides of coffins have been bought in by undertakers for over 100 years for a simple reason. The sides of any coffin no matter the size of the corpse are allways the same they come in standard one size lengths as you saw he sawed this coffin to size. The only part that needs to be made as he did is the bottom. Ends, and a decorative lid. Handles on a Coffin are not for carrying there only for decorative purposes. In life what you appear to see is fooling you and the iceing on the cake is the huge price charged for a piece of underground furniture seen above ground for only a few days.
Karl Gibson ... I think this may depend on where you are around the world, many people make coffins or caskets for themselves these days it’s not new . I see the Kurfs cut in the sides so it bends and flexes around the side of the casket. A circular saw can do this easily or table saw. He may well have bought the sides as you say but he still did a lot of work on it and stained it nicely, added lovely handles and other components I say a job well done regardless.
I'm a Coffin maker, you ask how the sides where bent when building a Coffin. Simply you cut 13, close saw cuts three, quarters of the way through the coffin sides from the back, ( The saw cuts are named Kerfs). This enables the sides of the coffin to be bent easially for the shoulders of the corpse. Also a Coffin is made 6 inches longer than the dead person this allows for, baged internal body parts to be stored, after a autopsie as its not easy to return them all inside a body.
I recently retired and am gearing up to start woodworking again. I grew up watching those Hammer vampire movies and I'd see a lot of "toe-pinchers" in them. It appears that they steam bend the sides. The shoulder area of the coffin isn't angled it appeared to have a smooth gradual curve...beautiful ( in a weird sort of way)
@@tomatkinson6996 The way you get the bend on a coffins shoulder is by cuting 13 kerfs close together. A kerf is a saw cut three quarters of the way through the wood used for side of coffins do this 10 cm between each cut 13 times and the coffin side bends purfectly at the shoulder, no steaming involved. Check out on you tube cuting kerfs to bend wood. I've been a Coffin maker myself over 45 years and daily make a fortune for making noththing more than very strong boxes to put dead people in. There is no job that gives you such high returns as a Coffin maker. Good luck with your venture never forget we all must die and need a coffin.
I was wondering if you pursue international business? I have always favored the traditional UK style coffins to the American made style that are customarily sold in the states. I would like to purchase a traditional solid oak coffin from you. How might I arrange this?
What r the measurements ?? its nice to see some one to make something, but were r the measurements and so, so we can repeat the process. I am trying to find a video so that I can make a coffin for a Halloween decoration =-)
My dad commissioned his friend to make him a coffin, if you stood it up on end you could mistake it for a storage cupboard. It was ugly. When he did pass away many years later we bought a regular one and use the other as a storage chest. No one would know unless you point it out.
Gran artesano carpintero, bonito ataúd hecho a mano y barnizado a mano como se barnizan las guitarras españolas de los grandes luthiers .Yo quiero un traje de esos y no esos cajones feos que hacen que no parecen lo que son.
Not sure I can accept the use of hand tools though, pilot holes with a wheel brace in this day and age? Why nails instead of screws? I can see the bottom falling out unless it was glued as well or were they ring nails?
Thank you Leverton Brothers. Such a wonderful presentation showing your beautiful skills. I particularly enjoyed seeing 'traditional hand French Polishing'. An art lost to the spray gun.
Breathtaking craftsmanship!
Great and patient carpenter, skilled with simple hand tools, and the casket looks Amazing !
Beautifully done. True art and I love the attention to detail. Thank U!
Awesome Craftsmanship.Beautiful work of art...
Stunning work. Kudos to the craftsman.

The craftsman is GORGEOUS!! Grrrrr
Gaggy Mott This is a craft handed down from father to son. Everything is hand made. We have been making them in our family for over a hundred years.
All hand made with no machinery involved. So refreshing to see.
beautiful craftsmanship, great video indeed..
Brilliant, a dying craft (no pun intended). My late father was a joiner and spent part of his training making coffins, as well as french polishing.
so beautiful i love it. Wish i could do this
Very good lad 👌👍😍😳🤩🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
u're very talented! man made no machines used
The sides of this coffin where mass produced in a factory you certainly never saw him make them. I know for the reason been a Coffin maker over 45 years.
what a great metaphor for life...so much effort and beauty created...just to be destroyed :-)

I feel more secure in tighter spaces. Though it may be weird I may like sleeping in one.
My kind of freak ha ha
People are dying to get one of these.

I like to see a nice English shaped coffin. Can't stand those over the top American ones though. This one is beautiful.
It looks very beautiful and good
very beautiful
Beautiful music 😊
Wow, thats is a real work of art! I especially like the side panels and handles.. and the color also! - the only bit im not keen on is the extra wood on the top of the lid.. I have preference for a flat top
WHAT IS THIS MUSIC ,I REALLY LIKE IT
it is never done like this any more
Fantastic bit of carpentry better than those ugly yank things they are totally over the top good old british coffin well done
Why arrive wearing a refrigerator when you can look the dog's bollocks in a wooden overcoat.
That is great art designed cool I would like to learn to build coffins like that at my home

Some monasteries build them in traditional style.

Very pretty work I loved
C:-
I wonder how much it would cost to have one custom built as a bed?
Don't know, but I'd need a queen or king sized one: I toss and turn a lot. hahahaha

I'd like to see how they get the walls to bend along the sides.

wow! Beautiful. Are you selling coffin in Canda?
that art
What is this song? It's so lovely
I was about to say the same thing. I love the music!!!
Besty190e This song is called ,"song from a secret garden " and its by Secret Garden
+BONEFIDEable this piece of music is in fact HM Royal Marine Band playing Caccini's Ave Maria. Not secret garden
Good evening sir, can you teach someone the trade ?
I'm dying to try one out...................
I wonder where that coffin is now? 6ft under
I want one for that too.. But, a bigger one so can move.
Bodies must be stacking up big time waiting on this guy.

I want to sleep in a coffin real bad! T^T
Dark ScareCrow Fx's. ...your going to get your chance literally someday.
Freak! Be patient your time is coming!
Don't be stupid, coffin makers attend funerals too and they cater for a variety of functions within the trade

meticulous work!
Beautiful. (Coffins don't have handles. They are used for cremation. Handles are on caskets.)
if you want to know how to make it yourself, just go to woodprix website.
Sehr schöne Arbeit, zu schade für die Verwendung, gemacht zum vergammeln, gelebt zum vergehen.
Not sure I can accept the use of hand tools though, pilot holes with a wheel brace in this day and age? Why nails instead of screws? I can see the bottom falling out unless it was glued as well or were they ring nails?
😣😣😣
Beautiful work. But somehow I think "Dracula..."
Yeah, you'd almost expect to see Christopher Lee lying in it. Like the one he had in Dracula Has Risen from the Grave
Yeah, you'd almosr expect to see Christopher Lee lying in it. Like the one he had in Dracula Has Risen From The Grave
why are you looking for coffins?
A great place to sleep but please for the love of God do not get red on the padding, trust me when I say you can't get it off.
Try hydrogen peroxide. Novice.

none of these vids are helping me!
The music kinda sucks, more suited to Hovis Bread adverts, try changing it to "If I had a hammer" or Spirit in the sky!
Bach's toccata and fugue in D minor.
I just had to laugh...who wears a white shirt and tie in their workshop
Craftsmen, that's who.
hkg02161954 and no power tools? just for show.
a professional, like this lad
Funeral Directors.
Wow! Beautiful job. Seems a shame to put a person in it to rot.
