I had an idea for a mailbox and this was not it. Sometimes a project will tell you what it wants to be while being built, and this custom mailbox did just that. If you want to build one of there there is a free set of plans on my website. Just download and build. www.komarproje...

Going to be such a shame when the plow truck smashes that beautiful mailbox
Was just thinking the same thing up here in the northern Midwest! Very cool looking mailbox though!
That's why I made mine to pivot if a snow plow comes by and hit it. That happens at least twice a year. It's still standing after 30yrs.
Well it looks to me like this man lives in the country where the snow plow doesn't come. The road appears to be wide enough for most anything. STOP being a pessimist and appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of a beautiful piece of functional art. He made this to be admired and appreciated, not to be considered. It's beautiful I would love to have this in front of my home. Great job!!!
@@roomwithaview4195 he did an excellent job but the sad fact is that when the snowplows come they will inevitably hit your mailbox. It has nothing to do with how wide the road is. The plows need to push the snow back as far as possible which is why so many mailboxes meet their demise.
Vertical nice mail box and post. But the front of the mailbox is suppose to be at least 8 inches from the edge of road.
That is like so cool. Only thing I would have changed was to make the concrete base deeper. Gorgeous!
A bigger box too.
My neighborhood,
Frost will heave that right up.
It’s a mail box make it deeper to what support a second story mailbox. Gotta critique don’t you
@@benjurqunovthat’s where you live and it’s a mailbox. The frost does t go heaving up rocks in my front lawn. Like ever
@@Bdigital9482I'm sorry if somebody picked on you but that's not what was happening here.
The dude offered a perfectly valid bit of constructive criticism. A mailbox sits atop what equates to a 4 foot long lever attached to the base.
I hope you have hidden cameras to catch the license plate number of the guy who steals that gorgeous mail box.
I was gunna say grind the bolts down so u have to cut them off to remove it. Its too easy to unbolt it.
It is gorgeous.
I suppose if it disappeared it would be a compliment....it being a work of art and all.
All it would take is a truck and a few good (bad) men.
Maybe a heavier base?
As a mail WOman (🤣)
I really appreciate this!!! We see basic mailboxes every single day. This is beautiful! 😊👏🏻
"Coolest mailbox ever!" - entire video is about pouring 2sf Concrete slab
Is the mailbox USPS approved?
Most underrated comment
Зато какая качественная опалубка для плиты.
with the rebar 1 in off the bottom of the dirt and 4 inch from the top of slab
Yeah a stiff wind will blow that over. I guarantee you that art fart mail box is broken.
After a few minutes of research, I can confirm that the mailbox in question did in fact make it through its first Chicago winter without tipping over, although it did rust. Yay concrete!
When the wooden frame is removed, the concrete block lifts up. That will not hold that mailbox up. You could push it over.
You’re right. Dude needed to go deeper with his footer
@@engineeringartist4801 they’re interchangeable words
@@engineeringartist4801 maybe technically correct. But it’s still interchangeable. My family has been doing residential and commercial construction for 50 years. I know. If I’ve found out anything over the years it’s that architects don’t know as much as they think they do. And they definitely don’t like it when you have to make on the job changes to their plans because what they drew up won’t work. Or there is a better, more efficient way of doing it. So I really don’t care what you think you know. I’ve done this all my working life.
I am a 58 year old home inspector and I think it is very pretty.. I do not think the snowplow will go down that residential street
See what you started?
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
I work for the USPS as we speak..... And without a doubt that is the nicest mailbox I've seen in my 10yrs so far of delivering mail🙌🏽
If you blocked your mailbox box(ex, car, trash cans,etc) I'd do you a service and get out the mail truck for that one🤦🏽♂️
You must work in a really tiny town with hardly any boxes. There's at least five cooler mailboxes than that on my first loop alone. I really love the huge mailboxes that fit large parcels. Obviously, slots are the WORST.
@Human Twotwentyone I actually work in a big city. Austin TX to be exact. Alot of my curbside deliveries the residents could care less about the look of their mb. I have seen some nice one's just not so attention to detail as this one.
I doubt you would....
Respect 😂✊
Very nice comment... for his beautiful work, Thank-you !
Until the neighborhood punks figure out they can tip it over .
N nobody is going to come along and tip that over you moron. No one puts that much into mailboxes. They'll see a cement pad and keep walking. A bat would be the biggest concern with mailboxes and this guy but his with heavy gauge steel.
@@madwand28 I've seen many a street signand stop signs layed over on the ground just because kids have got nothing better to do , and NO , they were not hit by cars . They were pulled UP out of the ground .Two teenage boys could push that over on it's side no problem .
That would require going outside and being off the phone so I think it’s safe in this day and age😂
Or the wind.
@@solless2504 these things still take place. Seen a handful of mailboxes being destroyed from time to time or a car, garbage truck breaks it or wind just blows it over
Beautiful. I truly hope it survives all the perils that can befall the box for mail.
Beautiful! Hope the snow plows don't tear it up or knock it over. 4" of concrete base isn't a lot to keep it upright with freeze/ thaw and snow thrown against it.
I think 4" is being generous. 2x4 is only 3.5". Plus he was below the edge of the 2x4 a little. I wouldn't doubt it if his actual slab thickness is 3 1/4 or so. Definitely not enough.
Snowplow? A large vehicle driving past would knock that over. I'm a little surprised it didn't fall over when he pulled on the door to open it. 😂
Just take it in at the end of the day
@@DannySauer HAHA!!! Exactly
It’s actually closer to 6 inches- notice how deep the hole is below the rebar- at least a couple of inches…
No slab thickness will save that from a direct hit by a plow, or probably even the snow from a plow. If the slab holds, the frame’s going to bend
Hope the wind doesn't blow it over...
I want a cement filled mailbox so strong that the vandals baseball bat comes back and knocks a few teeth out.....
Lol. Use a concrete bridge piling
Lol
Or a piece of track from the local abandoned railway.
I duct taped 2 5lbs lead bars to the inside of my mailbox lol
One of my old neighbors probably 7/8 years ago filled his with concrete because the same people kept hitting it with a metal baseball bat. Next time they did it the kid had to go to the ER with his arm beyond broken
That mailbox went from $30 to $3,000 REAL QUICK
In my neighborhood, that would last a day before vandals took it out.
That’s why he doesn’t live in your neighborhood.
@@GeronaXxYT this made me laugh thank u
In my neighborhood I would find it in front of the house down the street
In my neighborhood criminals get shot or beat up.
@@ML-ks2lj as it should be....
Step 1: Own a cool looking mailbox
Looks like it would tip over in a strong wind.
100% 🤣
he put 6 lag bolts in I don't think it's moving unless a truck hits it.
No faith what so ever.
@@youreverydayjoe8087that footing was only 4” deep😂
@@youreverydayjoe8087 BAHAHAHAHAHA!
(the bolts could hold down ten times the weight that shallow footer will)
Really love this, I would suggest painting the inside of the box white so you could see anything that might set up shop in there though, maybe even add one of those kitchen drawer lights that comes on when the door is opened.
Cool idea 👍
What a unique, absolute killer mailbox great job thank you for sharing..
Awesome Mailbox love your work
The real question is did the postmaster general approve it
Theres no reason why you would assume he didnt call before hand. Or that the post master didnt approve
Postmaster probably playing with buttholes like the rest of the feds and to "busy" to be bothered by it
You can make a mailbox from anything
@@matt59fire Never heard of that before
@@lucky43113 What are you talking about?
Beautifull
Very artistic and the wood is beautiful. This is something I would drive by slowly to get a good look.
You would have to drive past it slowly, otherwise it would fall over.
I think you could ever stop! looks like he is on quite street , as far as traffic volume!😀
Absolutely the coolest mailbox I’ve seen!!!
Freeze/thaw cycles will take that out, assuming the first plow truck does not.
Beyond cool. Just hope it don't get damaged or stolen.
Not yet. Thank goodness.
As a mailman I would be honored to deliver to that box. Nice job
A foreclosure notice
As a mail carrier myself......that flag will drive me crazy.
This video is funny because it’s an in depth view of the concrete pour and then “oh yeah, this crazy ass mailbox!”
Gorgeous and stylin! I wouldve probably filled postholes w concrete and rebar to tie into your slab. Time will tell
I’d bet that thing tips at least once in the first year. You def don’t have enough concrete for the weight
Criticizing is always easy
Creativity is a hard one.
We also have to look at reality. Form over function didn't work for Wright and it isn't going to work here.
Very , very , cool !!! But it will LEAN over in frost or wind unless you anchor it…A REAL WOORK OF ART THOUGH..!! ❤
you don't come off as very creative when a strong breeze blows over your mailbox
oh yeah. guy completed a nice project
You just criticized the criticizers..
Absolutely gorgeous.
That’s beautiful dude 👍
Great work!!!
It looks like a PROFESSIONAL did it.
Good to see some Men in this world still take pride in there work !! Nice one friend
Stunning! This man can finish concrete, weld, and do beautiful metal and woodworking. This was a beautiful project-top notch.
Definitely don't live where there are snow plows... very nice build!
A street sweeper could knock that over not to mention the mailman....
Absolutely amazing and beautiful!
Really need a fast forward feature for shorts.
Beautiful! Mailbox as art!
Not for mail in the USA. Not postal approved.
It's fine. The actual mailbox is a regular metal one from the store.
Love, love, LOVE this!! Awesome (art) work!!
That is a pretty nice mailbox. Creative people are awesome.
Completely awesome
The mail man will have that knocked down for you the first snow fall. 🤣
Absolutely gorgeous mailbox
Flags on wrong side. If mail carrier objects they'll make you take it down. Same thing with bolt heads sticking out inside.
That is exactly right. Mailboxes have to conform to standards that are set by the post office and the municipality you are in. For instance, a mailbox attached to a 50 ton boulder wouldn't be allowed on a road bc it could destroy a car and its occupants. Also, a really heavy mailbox may go through someone's windshield, etc.
Mailboxes have to be certified by the USPS, and i don't think they go certify custom ones. It is beautiful.
I scrolled for a while looking for this comment. Video isn't flipped, address numbers are correct.
@@alexkitner5356 courier discretion with boxes that aren't approved. I have one that isn't and it's not a problem
@@veganpotterthevegan they might not care to bother enforcing it but if one day they decide to, then it still goes back to the somewhat bureaucratic and picky regulations requiring USPS approval.
Some carriers barely manage to get the mail there, they're not about to bother doing paperwork or dealing with a non-conforming mailbox unless it causes them an issue or is more work. It's kind of like speeding, just because they don't pull over everyone that goes 1mph over the posted speed doesn't mean that they can't choose to or that their not enforcing it on others means everyone gets an automatic pass for it.
Worlds most beautiful mailbox!
Step 1: pour your concrete foundation for your cool mailbox.
Sept 2: attach your really cool mailbox that you just had lying around
Absolutely Beautiful!!
DUDE THAT IS ONE HELL OF A MAILBOX….YOU GOT IT GOING ON WITH THOSES HANDS…..SKILLS FOR DAYS…👍👍
I agree! This is a thing of beauty!
Man.....I salute your creativity.This is next level stuff.I like AND I subscribed.Thanks
Going to admit, you are right, that is the coolest mailbox i have indeed ever seen.
Gorgeous. Ours is strapped to a metal fence post atm. Original box got taken out in the middle of the night, we heard the bang of someone driving into it. We found half the post a good 40 ft away. Went and got a metal set up to replace it quick. Battled getting it to stay upright in boggy soil that's always wet. Then the post office left us a note that they were getting new trucks and we had to raise our box by over 6 inches. The metal pole now had just 2-3 inches in the soil at the new height. We're already flat broke so we drove in a metal post beside it and tied that sucker up. It never rains but it pours.
Brilliant! What a great entrance to a house drive. Well done.
That is SO CREATIVE AND COOL!!
That. Is BEAUTIFUL!!!❤
That is BEAUTIFUL!!!
That’s the coolest dog urinal I’ve ever seen.
Obviously doesn't live in Michigan where the snow plow gets extra points for smashing your box every chance he gets.
There's a house by me that if you hit it, it swings around with a metal spike... No one ever hits his box... Love your work!
It's truly a work of art, Love it!!!
I love it! The coolest, most beautiful I have ever seen. Great work!
That is such a unique, original, and master craft mailbox..
Beautiful. Now let's take on the challenge of the most secure (against mail theft) mailbox ever made.
Absolutely gorgeous 🥰
Gorgeous mail box!❤
Looks awsome, also looks like it could fall down easy. Driving regardless into the ground and pouring concrete would help make more sturdy.
That's GORGEOUS!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
That is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!❤❤❤
Awesome work!! Best mail box ever ❤
Looks nice but needs a better foundation than just a small slab.
Absolutely beautiful!!!
That’s awesome! I bet all your neighbors wanted one too
You need to cover the screws on the bottom of the interior. Scraping your knuckles across those every time you pull your mail out isn't going to be fun. Other than that it's absolutely gorgeous!
Agreed. Coolest mailbox ever.
Wow!!! That is spectacular!
I did not expect that! I think it was pretty sneaky how you showed so much of a base that the actual piece was such a shock. It looks amazing.
May well need a better base, but as far as the mailbox itself is concerned... Wow
Very cool, love it!
Gorgeous!!! Nice work!!
The safest mail box has bolts at the base that shear off when it's hit and isn't super heavy so it won't kill the people in the vehicle that hits it. Maybe build your sculpture a bit farther off the road.
Wish you had shown more of the mailbox as opposed to the making of the mailbox. That was sharp!
Mad respect for your talents.
thats one of the nicest mailboxes ive ever seen
That thing is gorgeous 😍
Work of art!
Gorgeous mailbox
I Love how he posts the plans for this and theyre legit like Him.
That’s beautiful, nice work
Awesome mailbox!! Nice job on the concrete also. 9.5 out of 10..
I LOVE IT!! Would be perfect if it locked 😍
WOW BEAUTIFUL ! 😍🤩
I particularly like how the slab moves when you remove the form work. It’ll fall over before someone steals it.
Ok…I’m jealous! Great job!
I will never get this time back!!!😢😢😢 FML!!!
I’m in looove with this!!! That’s awesome!!!!
That’s one badass mailbox.
Absolutely beautiful 😍❤
snow plow truck: ooooh. this gonna be nice! SPLOOOF!
