It was time to put a mailbox outside the shop so people could leave stuff in there for me when I’m not home. I built it so it was portable-ish. Everything below the mailbox is solid stuff. It’s got some decent gravity and shouldn’t blow over.

Why do you have a Subaru badge on a Volkswagen? Just asking.
Making an accessory for the Brick--my new Vanagon--that won't make it go any faster or run better. I didn't intend to do a triple-pass weld, but I forgot to turn the heat up on the old Sparky, so pretty much it was either that or grind out all the original weld.
Looks kinda' low--but I'm lazy, so
About perfect! The vise is attached with captive nuts and wingbolts, because--I may have mentioned this--I'm lazy and carrying it as two pieces--not to mention stowing it--is much easier. Work smarter, not harder!
It's getting a couple of coats of Rusto Gloss Black right now, then into the oven--if it fits.

Because he read somewhere that Honda quality is going downhill?

Because there's a Subaru EJ25 engine behind the badge.

Not real sure what this means.
Having the EJ25 means 165 hp and 155 ftlb of torque, vs. 85 hp and 90 ftlb. (both optimistic) of the largest stock engine VW put in these (2.1 L Wasserboxer).
Maintenance-wise, it apples and oranges. The Suby engine is actually a modern engine, with OBDII and all. Since it's still a DO four, it feels and sounds like a hot-rodded VW.
