Caskets 101

Caskets 101

Here's the truth nobody tells you when you decide to build your first casket: the wood isn't the hard part. Knowing where to start is.

Caskets 101 is the course I wish existed when I built my first one. It walks you through everything — material selection, joinery that actually holds under weight, lid fit, hardware, finishing, and the small details that separate "a box" from something a family will be proud to carry someone home in.

This isn't theory. It's the exact process I use in my own shop, broken into steps you can follow at your own pace.

What's included

• Full step-by-step course covering construction, materials, and finishing
• Your choice of three casket blueprint plans from the CasketPlans catalog, included in your enrollment
• Tutorial videos for the trickiest parts of the build — corner joints, lid alignment, and gluing
• Lifetime access, so you can come back to it on every build

Whether you're building for your own family, starting a small local business, or just want the skill in your back pocket — this is where you start.
