This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in
Round Wood Woodworking.
Sometimes a mailbox needs to be attached to a post of some sort. Now that you have some experience with trees and logs, let's practice some joinery that might look pretty for the neighbors. Let's make a post!
Minimum requirements:
- Make a mailbox post from logs
- Includes a log angle brace
- Logs meet snugly at all joints, not round on round
- No bark on logs
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- Logs you're starting with
- Mailbox post midway through construction
- Finished post installed
- View of joinery
