Shrew?

He litterally had a tiny dish of clean water and a handful of fresh grass, I understand the metabolic needs.
 
Maybe living in a small jar. That would have frightened him alot. Can u fix the window ramp opcn? How do they get in?
 
It actually was traditional to nail the coffin down, just to make sure the corpse didn't decide to come out again, and they should be iron. It's actually the reason gravestones were originally used.... Somtimes they would bury them face down too, so if they tried to dig their way out they would just dig themselves down even deeper....

This is why I probably would not be good in the funeral services business... :/
 
Well, I decided to go with but joints because I didn't want to take the American blade gaurd off of the table saw (american blad gaurds suck, brittish are so much better) so heres me clamping

Apperently its good that you don't catch them :D

Thanks all, but the coffin was more for me to have fun building than for him to have a pleasent afterlife, to tell the truth I regret burying the box.
