Thread: Hell's Mailbox

Tweet

Hi all!
I've been quite busy lately, unfortunately not as much with Halloween as I'd have liked. But I did get one new thing done. Hell's Mailbox.

I don't even remember where this idea came from, I guess I just got it one day. A mailbox with trapped spuls trying to escape. The best part, it automatically lights up when ity gets dark, with red glowing eyes! Runns on 2 9volt batteries and uses a simple circuit.

Here are the pics!

















Enjoy!

That is too cool! Good job!

Very clever idea... looks really good!!!

I want one, you should make these to sell.

What a great, weird idea the glowing eyes are very effective.
Have you talked with your mail carrier to see what THEY think about it?
Are you doing anyhting to prevent it from being a target for some kid with a baseball bat?

That is superbly designed and painted!!! And, very original!! Well done.

This is well done. I need one of these year round since my mail lady is the devil!

Thanks all. Since I am now jobless (downsized due to budget cuts) my friends think i should jsut make props and sell them. I would love too, but the amount of time it takes to make these things, I really don;t know if I could get a descent amount for the labor involved.

The day I put this out, I put in a letter for the mail carrier, asking if it was OK to use. If not, then to let me know and I would prompty remove it. I got the note back with a message on it: "It's Awesome!" So I think she likes it. I'm gonna have to get her a gift card for letting me use it.

Thats super awesome! I love it.

I love the hand, a very nice touch.
