Same old gas bottle theme, but with a new application,Just finished this letter box for my daughters farm, Post man does not come to the house but leaves the mail in a box at the top of the lane,The old one was just a plywood box with lid that is now falling apart!! Looks a bit bright at the moment but will soon weather in, Weather sealing strips and fancy top ring all plug welded leaving the welds proud to look like rivets (same as I do with the log burner hinges) the ball at the base is only fitted up through the existing valve hole and held in with a stainless split pin,It acts as a drain if any rain does get in and can be removed and the scaff tube joint fitted if It's going to be free standing on a scaffolding tube,Stainless rider and pony jumping were cut from 16g using a photograph of one of my Granddaughters as a guide and thin cutting disc, American style (mail/no mail) was a last minute addition, don't know if the postman will use it or not.
Any comments,other idea's truly welcome.
