The Tomb of Aleister - From the Mind of Christine McConnell
Added 2020-07-17 14:02:49 +0000 UTCHello!
In this Patreon Exclusive episode I show how to make a casket fit for a tiny King :D
I've mentioned that a move to an eerie East coast mansion is imminent and it may be happening a little sooner than I had expected which is why I've been so quiet... I'll be doing a livestream next weekend to catch you up on everything that's going on and right after that, I'll be documenting and sharing the road trip to the new house! :D As an added bonus, I'll also be filming a candlelit midnight tour of the mansion as next months Patreon episode! ...So stay tuned for all the fun to come :D
-Christine

I thought it was for Dita's cat before you said anything! What a great friend and what a beautiful piece of craftsmanship perfect for the amazing Aleister!

2022-09-25 02:28:27 +0000 UTCOh My Gosh! That’s the most beautiful piece of work I’ve ever seen. I enjoyed watching the video, as I do all of them. Your love certainly shows in every thing you do♥️

2021-04-12 22:56:57 +0000 UTCWow. This is absolutely gorgeous and that little kitty is going to love spending eternity in this.

2021-03-25 08:04:07 +0000 UTCNice work. My wife and I love watching your videos. You should check out TreelineUSA .com. They sell a wide assortment of professional wood carving tools and cutting bits that really make the difference. And the prices are very reasonable for the level of tools you get. Again, very nicely done.

2020-11-01 23:59:58 +0000 UTCAny chance you remember the measurements for the cat pillow Christine? I recently made the full size and I'd love to make one for my cat with catnip inside. She is a very fancy girl and clearly this is a must must. Thank you in advance!

2020-10-23 20:12:42 +0000 UTCI’m not sure if I’m more envious of your creativity, talent, or patience but, wow, do you have all three in abundant supply. This is stunning. It absolutely looks like an antique and I don’t think I could bring myself to bury that, maybe cremate the kitty and have his ashes in there in a special Room

2020-10-05 22:14:40 +0000 UTCThis is so beautiful, Dita is lucky to have such a kind and talented friend. I'm sure Aleister will rest peacefully in his gorgeous casket.

2020-09-11 21:05:27 +0000 UTCI have that exact box, it's an ugly blue and grey but I bought it in the fishing aisle of wallyworld for $20. It's not lovely like this but it's cheaper and pretty much exact with all the same compartments. Just for those who'd like a cheaper option.

2020-09-11 16:21:41 +0000 UTCOnly Chistine would say something like I am going to create my own cascket and it will probably be more beautiful than anything ever made before!

2020-09-11 15:56:12 +0000 UTCTruly inspiring. I’m constantly amazed at the beautiful things you create and this project for a friend grieving the loss of a loved one is the best yet.

2020-09-10 12:58:52 +0000 UTCChristine! I'm the same way! I have some pretty impressive typography skills when I'm crafting, but my hand writing is the worst! Nice to find someone else who understands. lol

2020-07-31 03:55:32 +0000 UTCExceptional work as always. I highly, highly recommend the Flavia de Luce audiobooks by Alan Bradley (read by Jayne Entwistle). The first is The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. The protagonist is an 11 year old girl who loves poison, chemistry, and solving murder mysteries. You'll completely fall in love with her.

2020-07-30 16:35:57 +0000 UTCThank you and welcome to the East Coast. I hope you new house will be everything you wished for and more.

2020-07-30 13:45:06 +0000 UTCI am so sorry for the loss of your brother. An elaborate Urn episode is an amazing idea! ... I will 100% do this at the new house :))
Christine McConnell
2020-07-30 13:37:36 +0000 UTCAmazing! 😍 a bit off topic but I keep seeing your beautiful living room in the intro of videos and was wondering if the t patterns on the peachy pink mauve walls is wallpaper? Or a stencil? Or hand painted? I think I want to do something similar in a room I’m currently remodeling ❤️❤️
Lyndsay Grimes
2020-07-30 11:17:27 +0000 UTCI watched this on my 50th bday & it was just what I needed to change the gears on it. Turning 50 during the pandemic limits my options for celebration. Lovely work, beautiful project. Always eager for your next post.
Tanya Madrick
2020-07-27 20:54:27 +0000 UTCJust amazing. I was wondering if you could show us how to make a wooden urn? My brother is currently in a Mason ball jar and I would like to move him something nice like Allister casket.
Nancy Jones

2020-07-22 18:20:07 +0000 UTCA project idea just occurred to me as a stumbled across a few strange gifts that were laid out in front of me. Have anyone ever tried to do anything with cicada shells? I have quite the collection going from this year and would LOVE to use them somehow. I have some projects that I am going to try with them, but if anyone has any inspiration or need for excess cicada shells (seriously, I have way to many to be considered normal) just let me know lol.
Nicholas Frig
2020-07-22 02:09:08 +0000 UTCThis is so beautiful. Not even the amazing peice of art but the fact that you did this for your friend. I am sure Aleister will rest in peace knowing that you loved him and his mom so much that you took the time to make him a final resting place with all the comforts his mom shared with him. This is really beautiful. I think this is my favorite work from you yet. I'm so sorry for yours and your friends loss. Losing a fur baby is so hard. ❤
Caitlyn ODonnell
2020-07-21 19:44:13 +0000 UTCYou did an amazing job for Dita. People do not understand how necessary it is for animal lovers to give a proper farewell to their pets. It is like losing a family member. When my cat, Vincent, died, I would have loved to make something that beautiful for him after 19 years together. In the end, I had him cremated and his ashes spread out on an island.
Holly Graham
2020-07-21 19:23:24 +0000 UTCThat was a beautiful piece of art and a fitting resting place for Aleister. I would like to have a template of the lettering you created! Capital and lower case letters and numbers. During Corona-lockdown I've been practicing lettering. Your script was so pretty!
Brenda Fairbanks
2020-07-21 04:15:46 +0000 UTCSo beautiful and meaningful. I love how you considered what the kitty would like and be familiar with. And that little pillow is wonderful!
Racheal Jones
2020-07-21 02:12:46 +0000 UTCAw, I’m super excited for you Christine! I’m so honored that you are sharing this amazing journey with us. Once you get moved and settled I definitely can’t wait to see the tour and all the amazing footage during your trip cross country. Thank you so much for everything you are and for being a huge inspiration! Lots of love to you 💗
Paulette Mickle
2020-07-21 00:55:42 +0000 UTCYour work is always phenomenal. You inspire me so much! Even though I’m not near as talented or creative as you, you still motivate me to try new things and to not give up. I absolutely cannot wait to see your new home and watch what you do with it. It’s such a treat to be able to see what is to come. It’s been my dream for some time now to move into a Victorian style home as well. Currently in the process of saving up! So I look forward to learning all I can from your experience. 😊

2020-07-20 22:20:32 +0000 UTCHello! I looked it up awhile back and it was on Amazon for only $75, but it seems to be gone now ':/ So shoot! I was able to find it through another site though for a bit more.

Beth Grixti
2020-07-19 02:25:41 +0000 UTCJust wonderful. You made me weepy. All our furry friends should be loved this much.

2020-07-18 01:57:02 +0000 UTCThat was amazing! Aleister is being put to rest in style, and as you said, that ties in perfectly with his life. I'm excited for your next videos and learn about what's going on with the house! I am so excited for you! It's going to be such an experience to experience this adventure with you!

Katherine
2020-07-18 01:03:57 +0000 UTCIt's absolutely stunning!! I'm sure Dita was very moved by your beautiful efforts.
Hallie Harmon
2020-07-18 00:59:35 +0000 UTCThat is such a beautiful piece of art. Very fitting for a tiny, furry king. I kind of wish we could have seen Dita's reaction to it. Can't wait to get an update about the house! How exciting to move in faster than expected! Will the documenting feel a little 80's horror movie?? That would be awesome! Happy and safe travels.
Katelynn VanGrinsven
2020-07-18 00:54:13 +0000 UTCOne of the things I really love about your work is that (from what I understand; correct me if I'm wrong) you are mostly self-taught and you've learned the skills you need in order to execute your ideas as you've gone along. Creators who have gone to school for the things they do is wonderful -- don't get me wrong -- but it can be really intimidating for someone who doesn't have the time and money to get an education in her hobbies, and looking at the amazing things you create from raw talent, determination, curiosity and passion is so inspiring! It makes me feel more confident about approaching new skills myself. :)
Kelly
2020-07-18 00:11:36 +0000 UTCOh Christine, this is so beautiful. Especially knowing how dear Aleister was to Dita’s heart. She’ll miss him forever the way we all miss our fur babies. This will help her grieve.

Kate Walchuk
2020-07-17 22:55:24 +0000 UTCI'm a little surprised that Dita did not want to get her beautiful Aleister stuffed. As morbid as it sounds, I don't think I would ever want to depart from my loving pet even after death. I have hopes to one day taxidermy my little dog and display her in an elegant tasteful way. Perhaps I'll have to make a coffin just like this and put her in and display her as if she's always asleep.
Jacqueline Z
2020-07-17 22:39:04 +0000 UTCThis was so beautiful and so touching. Aleister absolutely deserves something this amazing to rest peacefully in. Wonderful work.💗
Abby Wright
2020-07-17 22:30:58 +0000 UTCIt looks SO BEAUTIFUL!! Dita is so lucky to have a friend like you. Funny thing, my cat's name is Aleister as well, and we had the WORST day ever. Almost exactly one year later of him having surgery for a Foreign Body Removal because he ate a ribbon (one of the worst and scariest days of my life), he decided to get into our trash this morning. I woke up hearing the noise and got there just in time to pull an ENTIRE granola bar wrapper that was half way down his throat. There was more trash on the floor that he had pulled out, so I was unsure if he ate anything before I got to him. Hurt my knee diving to the floor to rescue him from himself. Half an hour later, he vomited but nothing came up so I panicked and brought him to the ER. Their endoscopy person wasn't in today 🤦♀️. It was so terrible and stressful. Xrays didn't show anything, but sometimes things don't appear, so I have to moniter him at home to make sure he's in the clear. Almost 700 dollars later that I dont have 🙄 This isn't even ALL that happened to me today that was terrible, but needless to say, I'll now be getting a trash can with a lid. If anyone is reading this, please keep my baby in your prayers. Thank you!! ❤🐈
Jade
2020-07-17 22:10:20 +0000 UTCThey are not any more dangerous than any of your other power tools. Softer wood is easier to practice. Using a router table is also easier, with a bottom mount. It will be a very useful tool for woodwork and customizing moulding in the new house. You will save on Dremel bits for sure. It's pretty easy to DIY a router table too.

Mariah
2020-07-17 21:03:56 +0000 UTCThank you. I was appalled. Since, my dog was cremated, how were they going fix the cast of his paw print? I was afraid of not getting my dogs ashes and paw print back. He was my big baby and the old man. The rest of the pack have been lost without his leadership.
Sherry McGinn
2020-07-17 20:59:27 +0000 UTCI can't believe they were going to charge you a fee for their mistake... especially for something so delicate! I would be devastated. Sorry for your loss...

2020-07-17 20:28:03 +0000 UTCI read that at first as "heel fast" and I maybe laughed a bit. Lol. I've been performing for years, doing dancing, stunts and whatnot on stage and never had an issue. I am off for a year and this happens. I guess it is good timing, though, with all the theatres shut down.

Lisa Marie
2020-07-17 19:38:29 +0000 UTCSo very beautiful and inspiring 🖤 my other half passed on two years ago and it still hurts me to this day. She was feisty and grumpy but still so loving in her own way, and I had her for fifteen years. She grew up with me since I was eleven, and I miss her gravely meows and chirps and broody face that reminded me of Godzilla in the old, old movies. I have her ashes with me in a floral tin which just isn't her style. I would love to make her a beautiful wooded urn someday (though I know little to no woodworking skills). Thank you for the beautiful video, I had tears all the way through it

You are a breath of fresh air during these troubling times. Every month I can't wait to see what ideas you have conjured up and share with us. I do believe my heart rate just sped up when reading your latest post. I can hardly wait for the moving adventure and mansion tour episode.

2020-07-17 19:12:31 +0000 UTCAgh! This was so helpful! :D I want to set up a full woodshop at the new house and will have to try this then. Would you say a router is dangerous? I was afraid of the bit coming loose or even losing control of it in my hands.

2020-07-17 18:25:17 +0000 UTCI just knew exactly whose cat passed when I saw your Instagram post this morning. I may need to construct something to this effect when the time comes for my little angel . You did absolute beautiful work Christine. I'm always in awe and incredibly inspired after seeing your work and watching your content. It's all very therapeutic. 🖤🖤🖤
Samantha DeJong
2020-07-17 18:22:27 +0000 UTCThe router is scary at first, but I think the problem was the wrong type of bit. You need an 'edge forming router bit' that has a little bearing that rests on the edge of the project so that you can't swerve out of line. I think you were using a straight bit which is meant more for the cut away area around your letters - you can steer it in any direction and only the depth of cut is controlled. You were moving the router in the right direction -counterclockwise around the outside edge (inside a 'donut' shape would be clockwise) You will love it once you get the hang of it - WAY less wear and tear on your Dremel bits! And you've created such a beautiful and amazing casket - it really is a fantastic work of art - this is such a wonderful gift for your friend. Everything you do is astounding!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2020-07-17 18:19:53 +0000 UTCI absolutely love this!!!If you need another fun project, I’d love to see you make a jewelry box like this or a toy chest!! I would love something like that for my daughter Raven🥰 it is so breathtaking!!

2020-07-17 17:24:54 +0000 UTCThat is an amazing and simply gorgeous tribute to Fit a VonTess's kitty companion. Having recently lost a beloved pet,with an unusallly spelled name, my Boommerr. It warmed my heart to see the care you took making sure the spelling was correct. When we got Boommerr back in his box, his name was spelled wrong on everything - his death certificate, his poem, his pawprint and on his box. It made me so sad. The offered to fix it for a fee that the vet would have to pay and I would have had to send everything back including him. We were not going to risk losing him or his actual paw print. We will be getting a new name plate created somewhere else. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful art with us.

2020-07-17 17:20:03 +0000 UTCIt turned out so lovely! As for that tool box, I want one now. If you don't like the color you could always paint it...not that you need another project
This Enchanted House
2020-07-17 17:18:33 +0000 UTCThis one of the most intricate and stunningly beautiful pieces you have done to date. It's so sweet how you have incorporated tiny personal details, which shows how much you care you have taken during the construction and design. This may be an obvious question, but.. Is Aleister named after Aleister Crowley?

2020-07-17 16:46:17 +0000 UTCWow, I watched this video with my mouth hanging open the entire time. I just kept thinking How? How? How? You are an amazing artist and an incredible friend and so inspiring. Thanks for sharing your talents. I’m off to buy some wood and a dremel tool. :)

2020-07-17 16:44:33 +0000 UTCWhen you mentioned you were making a coffin for a cat my first thoughts were damn that must have been a special cat. Then you posted this and I knew exactly which cat it was! Dita is so lucky to have such a good friend as you! ❤️😻😿
Serendipity Love
2020-07-17 16:31:51 +0000 UTCGorgeous! I love that you are willing to put so much effort into whatever you do, not matter if you're giving them away or they're going into the ground. ❤️ Inspiring, and you make things not only seem doable but also fun and enjoyable! Love it! Thanks so much for this episode! Can't wait to hear more about your move! ❤️❤️

2020-07-17 16:12:25 +0000 UTCI'm absolutely speechless over how exquisite this is, an incredibly touching tribute. One day, this will be at Hollywood Forever with me.
Dita
2020-07-17 16:05:55 +0000 UTCWow, you did such an amazing job on the casket, there was sooo much work in that! It really is a special piece. I'm so looking forward to the midnight tour of your new spooky place! I hope the trip goes smoothly, what an adventure!
Clare Buswell
2020-07-17 16:01:57 +0000 UTCI'm behind on reading your posts. Congratulations! If the house you're moving to is the one I read articles on in a particularly wonderful town in an upstate area, that is amazing!! I'm so glad you were able to get the house. I can't wait to see what you do with it. YAY!!!
Jen Deal
2020-07-17 15:57:34 +0000 UTCThose tassels would look great on a stand underneath the casket if she was looking to display it that way. Also, the supply case is awesome with drawers, I have 7 cases like it for my beads, they dont have drawers but are actyally a tackle box and come with tackle/bead type sectioned storage cases inside. ;)
Angela Pogue
2020-07-17 15:52:16 +0000 UTCThis is the most incredible and beautiful thing I've ever seen. I wish I'd been able to do something like that for my Benjamin Buttons--I buried him in his favorite blanket with his old Stretchy Squirrel and some of the ashes from his mate Lin Fong, so that they'd always be together. Dita is lucky to have a friend like you. I can't wait to see what comes next--especially the new house!

Jackie Adair
2020-07-17 15:12:34 +0000 UTCThis Is the most beautiful piece I have ever seen. Dita is so very lucky to have a friend like you to want to give both her and Aleister a gift from your heart like that. There are so many people who don’t give a human life a second thought, let alone someone’s pet. You made the comment in your video about putting in the effort only to have the piece put in the ground. This just speaks to your kind heart and soul. I’m glad your coming to the East Coast, we need more people like you out this way. Good luck and best wishes on the trip, we cant wait to see the candle lit tour. I hope you get out to Salem MA in October. We live 25 mins away, and would live to see you there. Safe travels... Can’t wait to see pictures of the house.

Also I’m SO EXCITED about the new house for you! Can’t wait to see it and your journey there!

2020-07-17 14:45:12 +0000 UTCYou have just left me speechless with this! And teary-eyed! I just know how much this means to Dita! To know he is going to be buried in this gorgeous masterpeace in hopefully the new grove being built just warms my heart! You are sincerely incredible and Dita is so lucky to have you as a friend! This episode is hands down my most favorite of yours to date. ❤ R.I.P. & glamour sweet Aleister

2020-07-17 14:38:48 +0000 UTCWe lost our sweet pup suddenly last month, so furbaby losses are still hard on the heart for sure. Lots of love to Dita and what a beautiful casket for Aleister. <3

Angela White
2020-07-17 14:31:26 +0000 UTCI live in an old house with steep stairs. My dog knocked over an iron last night on the stairs. Inevitably this morning I tripped on the iron and fell down the stairs. I have broken my left foot. The plus side is, now I technically have plenty of time to work on some small projects and enjoy watching all the episodes! The bad side is the terrible amount of pain and what this may mean for my performance career. Anyway, trying to stay positive so thank you for this episode!

2020-07-17 14:30:20 +0000 UTCYou can see every single bit of love and care you put into this. Dita is lucky to have such a magical friend.

Safe travels too ✨🖤✨ The casket turned out absolutely beautifully, I bet Dita was so touched. I am forever in awe of your patience with these projects. I would love to be good at woodwork, but am terribly impatient! I’m also scared of cutting off a finger, or worse 🙈
