In article , no spam says...

There is a mail box about a mile or so from me that is made from 1/4" plate,
very well made, not a butcher job at all. The owner painted a red and white
bulls eye target on it. I laughed the first time I saw it. I had to stop and
inspect it. If I remember right Ernie made a metal mail box that looked
indestructible.


Maybe it was mike graham? I recall that a regular poster here
did indeed produce a boilerplate mailbox (regular mailbox inside
a double-sized one, with the intermediate space filled with
concrete) which was then mounted on well casing which was in
turn connected to either I-beam or steel train rails underground.

The town had been using a road grader as a plow, and when the
blade hit the item, it sheared the bolts that held the blade
on. Apparently the town was *not* happy and he wound up paying
for it to be fixed.
