When I was 10 or 12 years old, Dad taught my brother and I about coping saws. We made a few southwestern-themed projects and entered them in county 4H competitions for several years. I still remember the hours slaving over a length of one-by lumber wondering if I was EVER going to be finished cutting those shapes out. Now I look back on those times with a certain fondness and I'm thankful my dad took the time to show me how to work with tools. After I came home from work today, I decided to apply my coping skills to our haggard mailbox.
Lately I've been watching a lot of videos on Youtube of peoples' projects. Most of them pertain to woodworking and homemade tools. I'm a big fan of human ingenuity and creativity, especially on a budget. So I thought I would join the mob of video-happy homeowners who are just a little too proud of their projects too.
Instead of the standard blog about my humble project, I decided to use my limited video and audio skills and make a video about the mailbox makeover. I neglected to take any before pictures but trust me, it wasn't a pretty sight. The question is: is the makeover really an improvement from the original? You be the judge.
