I thought it would be a fun summer project (for me) to make a big body size version of this prop, staying as true to the prop as possible.

My plan is to open up the back of long top hole and add a door to it's front, and add a filler patch to the bottom hole. It is just particle board so anything Structal will have to be replace with plywood. This may not work but give me something to play with.

I decided on going with the slit (hole) being 4 1/2 inches---- this is around 1 inch bigger than the arm prop--- I thought this would be enough to show girl did not drop down in
table but small enough not to draw attention (a balancing act).

Took it apart and re cut to my dimensions- got the bottom patched and door put on top.

On Saturday my plan is to go to hardware store and look for something that can be used for the body covering. Thinking on those big cardboard round concrete molds and I would cut in half. Any thoughts on other things that might work??

Change of plan-- looking around house for junk that might work--think I am going with plastic milk crates. I think they are the right size I will have to line with cardboard, ply or cloth

Yesterday I thrifted a HUGE THICK Mirror for the bottom gimmick--- I will have to take it to a glass shop to be cut-- I is to big and thick for me to cut.
