That facade looks terrible.

lol just kidding, that is me actually. And the panels like mine you wont be able to purchase anywhere, or make yourself. The true DIY you will have to make the panels by cutting each piece (of the panel) to 45 deg and make a frame out of it. Mine are cut out on a CNC machine in one piece. But that was only possible because my dad works in carpentry.

if you have any more questions let me know!
Here i go over the panels in a little more detail.

If you are that clueless about building "stuff" do your self a favor and buy one! it will save you a whole lot of work, headache, and it will look pretty good. I hate the big panels, and how big the gaps are on the dragon frontboards. But nonetheless its a good product.

Try craigslist or ebay and see if there is any DIY ones on there. I sold 2 on eBay when i started making them.

i would love to buy one, but i don't want a big facade. I want one like yours. i feel like if i have a facade that is too tall, it seems like im hiding behind it

main reason why i built my own, mine is just 7 inches taller than a table, so coffin sits perfect right behind it.

And i believe it was $300.

Your facade looks great. I like the width of the borders used for the panels. What is the dimensions of your facade. I am looking into buy one from this guy: http://cnj.craigslist.org/ele/3315443197.html.

His is 48" tall but I am thinking about getting a 46" tall one made for myself.

Any suggestions when looking to buy one?
