Mailbox post

Our mailbox got knocked over last Winter by snowplows...or more correctly, the snow that they pushed to the side of the road.  I was not about to attempt to install a new one in the middle of Winter, so I splinted up the broken one and limped on with it through this Summer and finally, over the past week or so...worked on a new one.  Now, I could have taken the easy route...the one that would have taken much less time to build and install.  But I am a woodworker.  I take pride in my work and love to show it off.  So, with that in mind...I decided to fabricate one that would highlight my woodworking skills and have it on display each and every day to all of the cars and drivers that zip past our home each and every day.  Came out beautifully if you ask me.



  I put together a short photo essay of the build to document the process.  If interested in taking a look...you can access that essay here:
