it's definitely useful thing
I want transformer of bed-or something -
I think that's great. I keep telling people that if they put me in the ground in anything more elaborate than a pine box, I'm going to come back and haunt them. (not really).
I'm looking forward to contributing to my planet in a new way.

I think it'll be cremation for me. Might even make my own cremains urn. I made the urns for my sister-in-law's and father-in-law's cremains. Very difficult but fulfilling tasks.

Ever since I saw the previous pope's (sorry, I am not Catholic and do not remember his name)casket constructed using dovetails I have wanted to make my own in a similar design. This is a great twist, something to think about, though not for long at my age.

He used real dove's tails? That selfish... Oh, dovetail joints.

My feelings for the pope aside, his casket was a great statement. It was plain wood put directly into the earth without a vault. The beauty was in the details. Not only was it made with dovetails, but it was dovetails in compound angles. I prefer quiet statements like that rather than carved cherubs leafed in gold.

I have a similar feeling with things like that john. I think it shows a lot more skill and craftsmanship to be able to do something simple very well than to add lots of extravagencies.
