Learn how to build a wooden mailbox to accommodate a lot of mail.

Plan the size and shape of the mailbox and purchase necessary materials. This do-it-yourself project will use solid redwood for the frame and for the hinged bin that opens and closes. The joinery is simple -- glue and nail construction with screws to attach the hinge and handle -- but the cuts of the component pieces must be accurate. Consequently, we will build several home-made accessories to ensure precision.
