Mailbox replacement, 6/2019

Our mailbox is old and falling apart. What's not helping is that our mailman is pretty rough with the remaining pieces of the old box. In looking around for new mailboxes, they can run $600 for a fancy-schmancy model.

Well, I still have plenty of wood scrap in my garage - time to put those scraps to use.

Starting with a plywood frame.

Bent plywood siding.

Siding needs bending encouragement with string and clamps.
