Around here that would get you a letter of removal from the Postmaster. But otherwise nice job.

Looks good but a large firecracker (you know what I'm talking about) will still destroy the mailbox. Frame will still be there and it doesn't look easy to put a new mailbox into?

I like it, hope they break their arm, when they ballbat it. I fought my local post office, about building a strudy post and box. All they could show me were the Federal rules, which says nothing about being too big. Telephone post, etc. In the end, they admitted, they couldn't stop delivery because the post was too strong. Look at all the fancy brick mailboxes

That statement right there is what has confused me when people cry about a beefy steel post for a mailbox. Why can some aristocrat put in a brick mailbox but I can't show off my fabrication skills with a custom steel mailbox? Rant off.

Nice looking mailbox. I have been trying to talk the wife into letting me fabricate a new mailbox post as ours is rotten.
