Thanks, Rob. Captain, I bought that little set at the Strand bookstore in NYC, where they have so many old books they are reasonably inexpensive. I bought my previous set on eBay, but the total thickness was too narrow for the space in the box. Even now, I had to cheat and add an extra book to the six in the film! Remember, the hunt is half the fun!

No precise dimensions. I just went by the size of the compartment in the box. I did the symbols free hand as per earlier in this thread, but MurdocXXL just a few posts back showed off some proper custom heat stamp tools he had made and we are all awaiting something impressive from him!

Hope to have something to show soon
Actualy working on 2 other things, but I plan to have something to show until end January CaptainEO
As ahoudini said, nothing specific here from the originals (up to now). I will go to make mine to fit my box. So at the end, it depends
on the built of your box.
Anyhow, I am waiting some detailed infos from Adam about the originals, to get proportions and other details correct.

Very cool! Looking forward to hearing any new info you might be able to scrounge up!
Here's something I have not shown before. I was able to acquire these screen-used pieces a while back:
And it looks like this skull may be the same as seen here:
While mine is not this exact prop (note the rope and beads), I do believe they came from the same mold, since my skull is resin and not a real skull.
Great skull and Card CaptainEO Congrats.... Any Chance to share your source of the skull (as you mentioned it is a casted one, maybe there are more :\ )?
By the way, got the first 3 books sewn and a leather (goat) colored. Will start a seperate thead about the books very soon

Wish i would be a little bit further with those books, but I've waited to receive some details from Adam about the books.
Unfortunately - up to now - i did not heard back from him, guess he is busy at the moment, and so I went ahead doing
them completely from scratch. Most probably the paper, placement of the stitching, flysheet colors etc. will be not
screen-accurate, but at least I get an idea on the general built
More details (also to discuss) on my upcoming thread

Great skull and Card @CaptainEO
It is a screen used piece originally purchased during the same run of eBay auctions as the Brooms Box. I had finally just made the connection that it is the same type of skull as shown in the box, just used in a difference scene.
And the book looks amazing btw!!!

I came across this thread several years ago, and I told myself that one day I was going to make this box...and today is that day.
The only problem is that it seems most of the reference pictures, dimensions, and various other links seem to have gone missing (no longer hosted?) Can anyone still active on this thread help me out? Most importantly I am looking for the dimensions that Mr. Savage posted for his ebay won box.
I am a woodworker by trade, and I want to do the box justice by hand cutting dovetails and hand planing all of the white oak stock. This is my first real prop (other than some lightsabers etc. when I was just a kid)...so excuse my ignorance. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
PS. Ahoudini and MurdocXXL, what you two have done so far looks incredible! I hope to be as far along as both of you one day, but something tells me this is a slow and dedicated road.
