The Doll Forum

I think its a cool idea, my upgrades would be a motor that lifts the inner bed up to the top surface for ease in getting your lady doll out. or a hinged side that allows easier access for removal. A set of gauges used in cigar boxes. My 165cm Jeannie is heavy but the hardest part for me is getting her out of the box with the top flaps not going vertical to the sides as the box is wider than it is tall.

2nd Prototype - Retro Style Trunk:

Pictures to Follow Later - Fresh off the Drawing Board!

I decided to do one just a wee bit fancier than just a simple pine box with a lid... Decorative panels with wood decorations and stamped steel hardware. I also decided to change the dimensions slightly for Jaquelynne as she's quite a busty lass - Don't need the lid flying open at an inopportune moment because her boobs are stressing the lid - lol.

The New Dimensions are 180cm x 60cm x 60cm. I decided to install a slightly "Raised" lid this time around and cover all the outer panels with Black Canvas. For Strength, each end panel was made from 1 x 4 Pine glued together, then cut to height and width, then will have a simple zinc coated gate handle, and all eight corners fitted with flat corner protectors. For fasteners, I will be using countersunk concave head #6 wood screws with zinc coated concave washers. For an extra added touch, I Ran to Rona and picked up Qty 6 - 2 inch box hinges to attach the lid and a two mating pairs of snap clasps to help keep it closed, along with some assorted accent hardware. I think the Black on Wood look should be an eye-catcher with a bit of a retro look with the Canvas. The interior will be fitted with a 3 inch memory foam mattress covered with white satin and the same satin treatment to the sides, ends and lid with diamond ruffed upholstery fastened with the same accenting countersunk #6 screws with concave washers.

A DOLLar saved is a penny earned... Abe has my own custom made box on the drawing board. It will be a 6 sided Toe-Pincher version of a classic Old West style Undertaker's Coffin. It should be quite comfortable, and hopefully they bury me with my Guns on.

Incidentally, I just found out that Abe has ordered a full arsenal of Replica Guns from Western Rifles & Revolvers for all of us for an upcoming photo shoot he has under contract.
