an unusual question

[Dreamster66]

has anyone ever tried building a mailbox using the scoops?
thought that would be neat in my front yard.

Hadn't thought of that but it's a great idea.. As long as you live in a neighborhood that won't steal them off the box....

No , but I made these. A scoop one would be pretty easy...........with real scoops!

I've never heard of mailbox scoops, Hmm sounds like there might be a market unk:
Pierre makes some sweet sounding cigar and tea box guitars. We joked around about him makeing one from the scoops. I Think he's going forward with it.

would it be the scoops back to back making a mailbox or would it be the faux tank as the top with the scoops on the side? Since I am employeed with a custom woodwork shop I could get one of our guys to do it on the side. Just need the design to get some kind of rough pricing.

When I first heard the idea for a scoop mailbox, the first design that jumped in to my noggin was a cube shape with the scoops mounted on the side, a faux tank cover on top, immatation engine (prolly made from painted wood) benieth the scoops and a mock radiator w/ grill in the front acting as the door.

I had that thought a couple yrs. ago when i got my custom paint done. I have my stock 'tins' hanging on the wall in the man cave. I didn't want to butcher them so i decided against it. I may revisit the idea if i can find some onfleabay that are slightly damaged.

The guy I know(my father-in-law) Is 76 and may not "get it", so this is prolly the way to go. would be much cooler with the faux cover
