How to make a coffin lid open and close. Attach it with a 48 in 120 cm piano hinge to 1 of the long sides if you want the casket to open and close. Attach the lid by putting a thin bead of wood glue along the top edges of the sides and securing it in place with 1 5 in 3 8 cm wood screws if you don t want a casket that opens. Next we shaped the base which was then used as a template for the lid. In order for the lid to fall back down i needed a way to let the air back out so the other out leg is just a piece of tubing with a regulator on it to control the speed of the air coming out and the speed of the falling action.
