Daswulf Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Very very cool 58er. Is that lower strap leather? Also any plans to add a flag of some sort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Has the local post office agreed on that design? Or do you have a standard box inside the "protective cover"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seldom (dick renker) Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 nice job. years ago I was a part time rural mailman. kids had knocked down one customers mailbox a bunch of times so he made a new one out of well casing, 6 and 8 inch. its still standing tho a few kids got sore arms from using the bat and a few dents in vehicles when bats didn't work.

Frosty Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Wicked KEWL mail box Fifty eighter. Is there a flag? It's been almost 50 years since I made a mail box but at that time the regs were pretty simple though I can't even guesstimate them specifically. The box had to be within a range of sizes, distance +/- from the gutter edge of the curb, range of heights and the door had to be openable with one finger. No sharp edges or protrusions that could catch a sleeve. I don't know how a door that hinged downwards would fare but I doubt it's out of spec. Frosty The Lucky.

ausfire Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 That's a vine piece of work, 58er! I would like to make a mailbox, but we don't have a mail service at our place so it would be useless. Nice hammer finish on the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
