This is my new project that I?ve been working on in my spare time at work. If I post it here I will be forced to finish it.
At first I was going to build a blower setup for my man cave but then my wife had the idea of a mailbox so?

I thought the bug catcher needed a little more height so I made a spacer that raises it 1 inch and moves it forward 2 inches. It also doubles as a block off plate, you know to keep it waterproof.

I cant seem to find an sj transom ring so Im going to call this project done.

FYI it will be for sale, if it doesnt sell itll be in the man cave at the lake. Once I get it there and set ill update the pic.

Ps I will be using it as a humidor with cedar but can use to hold whiskey bottles!

Is a project REALLY ever done?!
I needed a place for my cigar and drank. My rendition of a connecting rod and piston.
Too much?
