			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I help customers build a lot of commerce web sites; Panasonic, Maghound, eTopps; WSJ, FT to name just a few.  So for that reason I spend a lot of time online looking at various commerce web sites.  Most of the time I don&#8217;t really focus on the particular products but the user experience around how a given product is presented.  Then I saw this little gem on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/MHP-Sandler-All-Wood-Coffin/dp/B001CHN4TO/ref=cm_cr_pr_mention_t" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/MHP-Sandler-All-Wood-Coffin/dp/B001CHN4TO/ref=cm_cr_pr_mention_t" target="_blank">
<div style="text-align:center;"> <img src="http://siodmak.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Do-it-yourself-coffin2.png" alt="Do-it-yourself-coffin2.png" border="1" space="5"	 width="400" height="300"/></div>
<p></a> </p>
<p>Now I&#8217;ve thought of many &#8220;do-it-yourself&#8221; projects over the years.  <a href="http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/biography/0,,420027,00.html" target="_blank">Norm Abrams</a> is like a god to me.  But I have never considered building a coffin for myself or a loved one.  While it is really just another wood project I would have to think you can&#8217;t just show up at the funeral home with your own box.  If you could, we&#8217;d all do it.  Hell, Home Depot would have a whole section devoted it to it.  Could you just imagine the in-store workshops!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll do some research to see if this is legal in my area.  If it is I&#8217;m going to order the kit and schedule it as the next &#8220;father/son&#8221; project.  We can cover proper use of hand tools and death at the same time!</p>
<p>BTW .. take a moment to read through the user generated comments posted to this product.  They are well worth taking a moment to read!</p>
