Mike Is Making Stuff
    This Halloween, I built a coffin-shaped candy tray using salvaged wood, black paint, violet accents, and felt lining — a spooky, modular build perfect for trick-or-treaters and DIY lovers. In this 18-minute video, I walk through bevel cuts, tapering, lining, and finishing techniques using accessible materials and repeatable methods. Whether you're into woodworking, modular systems, or just want to make Halloween more hands-on, this project blends seasonal creativity with repair culture and maker autonomy. 🎃 Subscribe for more builds: DIY systems, scavenged materials, and community-powered creativity.
