Making a Modern Mailbox
I made a modern mailbox out of wood and steel that does NOT require welding. I used Quikrete Fast-Setting concrete mix set into a 8” Quiktube to make the foundation. I cast a 10” piece of galvanized 3/4” steel pipe into the concrete. The Mailbox is made out of 3/16” plate steel that I bent using an angle grinder and MakerBrand T-Bar Clamps. The oak doors have a magnet that sticks to a piece of 1” angle steel inside the mailbox. This piece of angle steel is attached with Krazy Glue Gel. I learned how strong Krazy Glue is at a recent event that pitted the worlds strongest man against Krazy Glue in an epic battle of Man Vs. Glue.

A modern mailbox is called an email. Ok sorry couldn't resist, pretty cool!
the winds gonna blow that thing down. not sturdy enuff.
I’m sad I just now found this – but LOVE it!!!!
What a fun project! 3/16" steel is da bomb. Bullets won't penetrate! I would have been the lazy guy and bent the steel away from the cuts, duct taped the outside seam & painted right over it. 🙂
